You could have retired and had Barak Obama appoint a leftist judge, any time from age 76 to age 84. You especially could have done so early in his term, when he had a lot of political capital. Then you could have spent your retirement with your family.
But no, you wanted to hang on to power as long as possible. You put your faith in the corrupt, hateful Hillary Clinton, and wanted her to nominate your successor. A woman SCOTUS judge appointed by that first woman president (ignoring Edith Wilson).
Didn't work out, did it?
And now, Amy Coney Barrett sits in your chair, and voted to uphold the Constitution.
So thanks, to the Notorious RBG, for making this day possible.
