To be fair, the filibuster on SCOTUS nominees was still in place, so there is some blame to assign to Harry Reid, who could have removed it but didn't (or didn't announce that he would, anyway). But RBG could always make her retirement conditional on a replacement.

Yeah. It's all stuff that would have made me extremely grateful had she decided to retire, because it is, in fact, a personal sacrifice. But the stakes are so high, it's really hard to see it as a sacrifice anyone could refuse.
