"Every day I look at John Paul Stevens who's about to turn 86 and I think maybe I can make it too."

Said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg yesterday at the University of Toledo, in answer to a question about how long she would stay on the Supreme Court.

Is there anything wrong with holding one's seat on the Court as long as it is physically possible, in an exercise of political will, because you do not want the current President to appoint your replacement?
