She was already old and sick with cancer when Obama was President. She could easily have retired during his second term and ensured a Democrat would replace her. Why didn't she? Selfishness, reluctance to relinquish her power, or what? She certainly didn't do her party any favors with her decision to hold on to the bitter end, did she?
shareFrom what I have heard Biden is suppose to name a gay woman to replace her if he gets elected. Maybe she didn't like the replacement that was put in place for her when Obama was in.
shareShe couldn't. The Republicans didn't allow Obama to appoint Supreme Court Justices nor federal judges.
shareObama first term was a democrat senate but needed 60 votes. Its unlikely a lesbian back then would have been chosen like the democrats want now with 51.They would need 3 of republicans to switch over plus the VP voting.
