"Ruth Bader Ginsburg did a great many interesting and impressive things in her life, but she never did the one thing she probably really should have done: run for office."

An excellent read. Standby for the accusations of "misogynist", "anti-Semite", and the ever-popular "racist" leveled against the author.
Mr. Williamson has blunted the accusation of "hypocrite" in advance, with a keen observation that the matter has neutralized itself.
"The timing of Ginsburg’s death is a political inconvenience for Democrats — them’s the breaks. Trying to convert this into a question of principle is silly and dishonest. Yes, lots of Republicans said last time around that we shouldn’t confirm a justice right before an election. Lots of Democrats said last time round that we should. Handing out indictments for hypocrisy in Washington is like writing up people in New Orleans at Mardi Gras for public intoxication. Nobody doubts that the charge is a valid one, but, please, spare us the shock and sanctimony."
