What are you talking about? Looked to the future?
Garland was nominated 8 months before the election. It doesn't occur to you that Ginsburg could have considered retiring within that last stretch and decided against it after what went down, hoping Hillary won?
That would have been plenty of time, in most cases, and there would be little reason to do it before the last handful of months, until Mitch made one.
