"SNIP........


Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dashed any hope President Donald Trump might have had that she would resign before the end of his term, announcing on Thursday that she had hired a full slate of clerks through 2020.

The announcement bucks ongoing speculation that Ginsburg, 84, is nearing retirement: Typically, justices planning on stepping down don't hire all of their clerks for the upcoming term. Ginsburg's include Alyssa Barnard, a Columbia Law graduate; Harvard Law grads Marco Basile and Susan Pelletier; and Stanford Law grad Michael Qian.

Ginsburg's resignation would of course be a political gift to Trump, who's so eager to fill an empty Supreme Court seat that he's released the names of potential nominees for a vacancy that doesn't yet exist. Trump is particularly eager to see the end of Ginsburg's tenure ever since the self-proclaimed "flaming feminist litigator" spoke out against him during his 2016 presidential campaign.

"I can't imagine what this place would be—I can't imagine what the country would be—with Donald Trump as our president," she told The New York Times that July. Later, she called Trump a "faker" and said he "really has an ego."

3. How grand to hear this

Wish we had more badasses just like her.

4. Its a bigger deal that Kennedy hired four

I doubt that anyone thought that RBG would choose to retire in the current environment.
