[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77570988, member: 123415"] I would think a better use of such a lucrative monetary offer (from the Democratic perspective - since it's evidently legal) would've been to (back in 2014) make an offer to RBG to retire when she was 82-83 so that Obama could've appointed someone else to take her spot instead of Trump getting to do it. One of the risks that comes with those lifetime judicial appointments is that once you get up in the 80's, there's no 100% guarantee you're going to make it until there's another another person from "your side" at the helm again to appoint your replacement. As crooked at as Clearance may be, he's not a dumb guy, he's probably done that mental calculation of "If I step down now, Biden appoints my replacement, if I wait a few months down the road, there's a chance Trump will win again and then I can safely step down" [/QUOTE]
