Horse-Trading

A quite interesting column in American Greatness concerns Ruth Bader Ginsburg. George S. Bardmesser, a Washington attorney who admits he's no mover and shaker, argues Ginsburg should make a deal with President Trump to step down if he promises not to appoint Amy Coney Barrett to replace her on the Supreme Court.

Bardmesser makes the point the strongly pro-life Barrett is liberals' worst nightmare. And Barrett is believed to be Trump's most likely choice for the next Supremes vacancy.

Ginsburg might be able to have a say about which other-than-Barrett conservative woman jurist is selected to replace her, if she is willing to deal. It's an interesting proposition and I'm sure someone will bring it to RBG's attention.

As the likelihood of Trump's reelection increases, it could begin to have appeal to the 86 year old RBG. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
