Byron York in dailyherald: Liberals complaining about the direction of the Supreme Court have one of their own to blame - 'Notorious RBG'.
The last year has shown the power of a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Conservatives had a 5-4 majority for years and were not able to overturn Roe v. Wade or get rid of affirmative action. Now, with a six-member majority, half of them appointed by former President Donald Trump, the conservative bloc on the court has done both those things and more.
In 2013, when Ginsburg was 80 years old, the oldest member of the Supreme Court, and had been through two serious bouts with cancer, many Democrats hoped she would retire while a Democratic president, Barack Obama, could choose her replacement and a Democratic Senate could confirm that replacement. That would keep Ginsburg's seat in the liberal camp for another generation.

It was a particular disappointment for Obama, who invited Ginsburg to lunch at his private dining room in the White House in July 2013 to gauge her openness to retirement.
The next few years were satisfying for Ginsburg. Liberal admirers started calling her"Notorious RBG," as if she were a gangbanger blasting away at the right wing on their behalf. Those same admirers distributed photos of her lifting weights, implying that Ginsburg, then in her mid-80s, was in such great shape that she might go on forever. In 2017, Politico published an article headlined,"I Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Workout. It Nearly Broke Me.
