To be honest, she should have done what Sandra Day O'Conner and Anthony Kennedy did: retire under a President who will pick a good successor.
This mistake can be made both ways, though. One can argue that Sandra Day O'Connor should have held out until Trump, who would likely have granted her wish to be replaced by a woman, instead of by Roberts, one of the worst Republican appointees in the last century.
Sandra Day O'Connor quit under a Republican, and was replaced by one. If she had held on, her health problems would have become manifestly worse, and she may not have made it to Trump. In any case, Trump has already had more than his share of appointments.
And Roberts isn't my choice either, but he is focused on the law more than anyone else on the court.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
