Yeah, God is going to help out the side that butchers unborn babies wholesale.

Hahahahahahahahaaa

Enjoy Ginsbergs funeral. Enjoy her #maga replacement. You’ll stress less.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

She really needs to resign so as not to put the country into Crisis if she suddenly becomes very ill.

We really need an 80-year old cap on all Government Officials.

Why does she need to resign? How would she put the country in crisis if she suddenly becomes very ill?

You can suggest to put an 80-year old cap on all government officials, but she would get grandfathered in. You don’t change the rules half way through the game. That’s not how life works.

Kinda like the Electoral College.

I didn't say we needed a law tomorrow, but we SHOULD have a law going forward.

Announcing she is going to step down on X Date takes much of the pressure off finding and nominating a replacement, it's much better for the country than a sudden health issue and all the disagreement and delay that will result from a sudden death.

In any case, she is so sickly it is farcical for her to go on, no matter how "Mentally with it" she may still be. Enjoy the Farce! I for one have pity on her, she is clearly pushing herself beyond all reason for political purposes.

I also recall Chris Cilizia saying 100s of McCain's Medical Records weren't enough, and being dubious of Trump's health, even though the man does 3 rallies in a day when campaigning.

Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.....

Trump is warming up...

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not on the bench on Monday to hear arguments in the first case brought to the high court since the 85-year-old underwent cancer surgery last month.

Ginsburg has not missed a day of argument since President Bill Clinton appointed her to the bench in 1993. This is believed to be the first time she has missed a day for any reason outside of recusal.

When the Founders wrote the Constitution which enshrines the rules for justices, there wasn’t much for medicine available. Certainly there wasn’t the medical industry that we have today which can keep a failing body on life support with heroic interventions for weeks or months, and can add years to the lifespan of an oldster who really should have died of “natural causes.”

An update is in order, and shouldn’t even be political. But you are correct, RBG should be grandfathered in.

Two more years to hold on...
Do not go gentle into that good night.

More like six years and I don't think she'll be able to hold on for that long. A win for unborn babies when she gladly bites the dust.

There was age limit for faculty appointments until late 1970's - you had to resign when you hit 65, which is a good idea (perhaps adjusting it to 70 or so) as mental capabilities decline with age and consequently most older people can not teach students as well. However, in the era of political correctness and anti-discrimination this "ageist" rule was removed, and now students have a privilege of being taught by a senile, 80-year old tenured incontinent geezer who won't retire. Paradoxically, the smarter and more successful faculty do retire at 70 or so - it is losers who hang around.

We should take guesses as to which month this year we think that she is going to kick the bucket.

It ain't much longer...... tick-tock...

Ceffer says

Guess it's time to start cooking up shit about all of Trump's potential nominees. Maybe a child porn angle planted on their computers.

Yes, because Trump is likely to appoint a female, and digging back to high school to find fake "me too" victim will not work. Got to find some activist male to claim she "molested" him with a BJ when she was 22 and he was 16.

Trump Admin already preparing a short list

The White House "is taking the temperature on possible short-list candidates, reaching out to key stakeholders, and just making sure that people are informed on the process," said a source familiar with those conversations, who spoke on background given the delicate nature of the subject. "They're doing it very quietly, of course, because the idea is not to be opportunistic, but just to be prepared so we aren't caught flat-footed."

Ginsburg had a pulmonary lobectomy, the Supreme Court said in a statement, and her doctors said that post-surgery there was “no evidence of any remaining disease.” She has also recovered from several past health scares. But her departure from the Court would allow Trump to nominate a third Supreme Court justice — the most in one presidential term since President Ronald Reagan placed three judges on the highest court during his second term.

The nine-member court is currently divided 5-4 between its conservative and liberal wings. Ginsburg’s departure would allow Trump to create the Court’s strongest conservative majority in decades, a scenario sure to bring intense opposition from Democrats and liberal activists still furious over the October confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

But the women must be believed?!? But there is a conservative woman who is nominated?!? DOES NOT COMPUTE!

I harken back to Spock and Kirk on Mudd's Planet of the androids. Feed them enough illogical statements, and they shut down, burn up or go crazy. Such a nomination will send the SWJ cabal into apoplexy.

That could be nearly as entertaining as the election of Trump was!

Justice Ginsburg is Probably Quite ill.

First of all, I wish Justice Ginsburg well. She is a courageous advocate for women’s rights and a cultural icon. But in one reads between the lines of published reports on her situation, this woman is probably quite ill.

The most significant words from above are “two malignant nodules.” What does this mean?

Pathologists can usually determine quickly whether a nodule is benign or malignant, but in order to determine the actually type of cancer (that is the tissue source of the cancer), special preparation is required before microscopic examination. This can take several days or weeks to complete. At the time of this writing, we have no published reports stating the results of these tests – or even if they were ever done.

But since there were “two malignant nodules,” the odds are is that this is Stage IV or metastatic cancer – meaning that it has spread to the lungs from another organ system.

But in my medical opinion, the doctors and the media who have commented on her health are underestimating the severity of her illness.

Wow.
Thanks Mr. magic.

And yet we have to wait for her to die even if she can't do her job much less get out of bed. She hasn't been able to hold her head up for years.

This is true, she must be really in bad shape.

Very, very close... even if she's recovering from the broken ribs and surgery, if she can read and view transcripts at home (so they say), she should be well enough to be rolled in on a wheelchair and sit at the bench. It's not like they're asking her to split wood when she gets there. All she has to do in court is sit, listen and ask questions. But, she's a no-show... and there's been no official update on her condition, either from the Court or her handlers.. ... WHY????

The Liberal media's perception of Trump's chances he replaces Ginsburg in the next two years is slim.

I put it at 85% at least. They said 30% they claim if he gets elected for a second term it would be 80%. I put that at 100%.

I would put it at 100% that he replaces her in the next two years. But who knows they may keep her alive in a Coma induced vegetative state for two years.

I don't think She will step down until she dies, and I don't think the left will allow a replacement until she does die. Even if she does wind up in a coma for 3 or more years.

They are keeping her alive playing tapes: "The pleadings have reached five metric tons! The legal fees have hit a hundred million! You can make an arbitrary decision, now, as long as it is deluded LibbyFuck jargon cloaked in legalese!"

Do you remember two days before they carved out half her lung, she stated she was fine?

Justice Ginsburg Told Audience Her Health Was ‘Fine’ Days Before Cancer Operation.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she was in good health during a public appearance in New York City Saturday, just days before she had surgery for lung cancer at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

NPR’s Nina Totenberg interviewed Ginsburg at the Museum of the City of New York on Dec. 15, where she asked the 85-year-old justice about her health.

“It’s fine, thank you,” Ginsburg replied. She went on to say that she had resumed her vaunted fitness regiment with her personal trainer after fracturing three ribs in a November fall at her chambers in the Supreme Court.

Less than a week later, doctors in New York removed two cancerous nodules from her left lung.

Ginsburg is spotted for the first time since surgery, She's rolled out in a wheelchair to a waiting car and barely can transfer into it without assistance.

I tried a website to calculate the life expectancy of an 85 year old widow with cancer, but the site scammed me into entering the data and then demanded an email address.

Let me know if anyone else comes up with the number. My guess is about 2 years, which does make things interesting politically.

I doubt you can calculate that, there are too many variables with cancer, location, and other issues. My wife works in Oncology and has decades of medical experience, and everything she's read (and between the lines), she thinks 3 - 6 months at best.

The average life expectancy for her generation was high 70s, so she's in extra innings, NOT counting these health issues.

Ginsburg was seen in a wheelchair the other day. If she was doing well, she would be ambulatory 3 weeks post Op.

Yes, two nodules is bad news. Especially since she's already had other growths (rectal and pancreatic) removed in the past few years.

Thoracic surgery is rough on anybody, at 86 (this coming March) it's rough.

I'd rather not give a link to a scammer site because it helps promote them. I'll look for a different life expectancy calculator.

Simple. Give them trump@whitehouse.gov or report_fraud@fbi.gov
