Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Value Over Replacement

Ruth Bader Ginsburg failed to reckon with the fact that the court is an ideological institution. She made a bunch of public statements where her failure to grasp the stakes was very palpable. There's a concept in sports that I feel like is worth mentioning here, which is called value over replacement. The answer would be like any intelligent left liberal legal professional who's not in their 80s would be better.
