    I think this is right but to do this the Democratic coalition -- including the pro-choice component of that coalition -- need to be much more disciplined than it is.https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1520476085451993088 …

    In terms of lessons, the failure of groups to condemn RBG en-masse in 14 for not stepping down is going to end up being very consequential and we should probably think critically about why we didn’t do that and make organizational changes so similar mistakes don’t happen again.

        The core difference -- not only on the courts but notably on the courts -- is GOP right is very disciplined. It's carried out a 50 year project to roll back Roe. They've suffered missteps (Bork, Kennedy) but have learned from them and carried forward. Something to learn from

        I don’t get it. Breyer faced tons of pressure to retire. And he did. The lesson was learned.

        So, what if RGB had stepped down in, say, the last year of Obama's term. Would McConnell have simply melted away, and left nothing but his shoes? Maybe RGB was waiting for better odds.

        Real feminism includes criticizing real women who tend to be old and white. By all means we have to do that. @whstancil @nberlat this will be hard for some.

        would condemning Ginsburg have worked though? of course with hindsight we see that was the last best time for her to retire, but I the argument at the time would be full of hypotheticals

        At the time the idea was to hold RBG’s seat hostage for Hillary to appoint someone. They shot the hostage (that’s a line from the movie speed)

        Sure, but wasn’t not taking to the streets over Garland worse?

        We just did it. Breyer stepped down when he clearly didn't want to.
