Is it too obnoxious to point out that some of Professor Cass' point about the other "Ginsburg precedent" was made here at ConfirmThem, back on August 5?

It’s worth remembering that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated to succeed Justice Byron “Whizzer� White — a conservative. There wasn’t any hand-wringing on the Republican side (and certainly none in the press!) about whether she would “shift� the court to the left . . . it was understood that she would. It was also understood that elections have consequences, and this was one of them.
