If anything, Robert Lieff should be considered the unofficial epitome of wisdom when it comes to American politics. The passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has caused a great upheaval between the GOP and the Democrats as the Right scrambles to nominate a candidate who appeals to diminishing fanbases and the (leaderless) Left struggles to delay should Biden assume office. With the presidential election looming on the horizon, Jack Russo and Robert Lieff discuss the death of the Notorious RBG and four reasons it drastically reshapes the presidential election in Trump’s favor. They raise the interesting issue: Did RBG act selfishly in not retiring from the bench far earlier in the tenure of the Obama presidency given her health and status as one of the few (and only female) octogenarian justices? Why didn't she do what Justice Kennedy did and retire in a timely fashion?"
