Her final wish, and how it has been misinterpreted

Is this worth mentioning in the article?

Her famous final wish was "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed". Many referred to this as meaning she did no want to be replaced until after the election. It was widely discussed and quoted. However, Ginsburg, a careful user of language, said she wanted to to be replaced by "a new president". That specifically meant she did not want her replacement to be nominated by Trump, even if he won. That is a big difference. If not worth mentioning, leave it alone.

Pete unseth, is this just your interpretation or are there WP:RS that suggest that as well? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:48, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

In any case, whether her wish was to be replaced after the election or after Trump was out of office is moot; neither interpretation was honored, so it seems pointless to discuss this in the article. Magidin (talk) 18:22, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
