She's a clever old coot who knew exactly what was going to happen after her remarks.
I think she did it to elevate consciousness that the next president will have two SCOTUS seats to fill early on - Scalia's and hers. She'll be announcing her retirement soon and was doing what she could with a measured political commentary to try to avoid moving the court in Trump's direction, whatever that would turn out to be.
Trump fell for her trick - "resign your position." Really? Is he acknowledging that Congress should approve one or both of the open positions then?
I'm a reluctant Republican this time around but I think the failure to approve a replacement for Scalia is unconstitutional dirty pool.
