Just how much influence is President Donald Trump going to have on the U.S. Supreme Court? His administration hasnt been quiet about its hopes to replace as many as four justices with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg near the top of the list.
But with rumbling concerns about her health, Ginsburg doesnt appear to be ready to step down. In fact, the same week she was a no-show at President Trumps address to Congress, she was in the news for her impressive workout regimen.
Now aged 84, and the senior member of the high courts four-person liberal wing, Ginsburg has had a series of health issues. Since the 1990s she has suffered two bouts of cancer as well as heart problems.
Heres what you need to know:
1. Shes the Oldest Supreme Court Justice [snip]
2. Shes Had Cancer Twice, Plus Heart Problems [snip]
3. Her Workout Almost Crushed a 27-Year-Old Reporter [snip]
4. She Likes Being Notorious RBG [snip]
5. She Doesnt Need the Money [snip]

Doesn’t matter.
When she’s a corpse the DNC will just assign her an assistant.
Pelosi has zero say in the matter. Less than zero.
Schumer will go ballistic, but he blew it with Gorsuch. He’ll rage like King Lear at the storm, but in the end will have to accept the loss.
Hmmm??, I saw her on a News program recently, are you sure she isn’t already dead??
Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg—a blight on the judicial system.
I wonder if she is a racist for not retiring under Obama’s watch?
“At her age, they have to be very fast 5 facts. Blisteringly fast”
When you are her age things can go South in a hurry.
Chances that she will make it to Trump’s 2nd term... 1 in 7.
A 27-year-old with advanced stage COPD?
Fidel Castro lived to be 90, Margaret Sanger lived to be 86, George Soros is 86. What is it with evil people living to be so old?
The bridges are already blown for that maneuver. The supermajority has been nuked. Thanks goodness.
They don’t feel stress in life, they cause stress to everybody else.
Where does it say in the Constitution that there are 9 Supreme Court Justices?.
It doesn’t. There are times in our history when there have been more, and there have been less.
So I say, Trump and the Republicans should start stacking the SC right now (of course, the Reps are taking a vacation as Do Nothing Republicans while we scream we need the tax cuts NOW to avoid a 1,500 point drop in the DOW if we don’t get them by August - can someone put Rand Paul in his place?).
So there is word that Hillary was planning on doing this, so I say Trump and the Reps do it and who cares if the Alt-Left media screams “dictatorship” in the MSM, they will non-stop attack Trump anyway so who cares?
Just nominate and appoint 3 more and push the number up to 12 Supreme Court justices, don’t even wait for that lefty old hag to die.
Twelve or 13. Fine by me. In fact, 13 to prevent “ties”. Stack the Court with Trumpsters! DO IT REPS! DO IT!
a cruel joke
I thinks she’s actually been dead for years. Being dead has never kept a democrat from casting their vote.
Politically this could be very difficult to do. You’re right, there is no constitutional requirement that there be nine and only nine Supreme Court justices.
But politically, it would be difficult to get the Congress to pass legislation to increase the size of the Court. FDR tried to do so and failed. This is one of those touchy “3rd rail” types of issues.
Ted Cruz is NOT on Trump’s list.
Check it out.
I’m hoping for Arabella Rose Kushner, she speaks Mandarin fluently and is obviously in control of her grandfather.
Plus she’s five, think of her longevity on the court.
Yeah, Sarah Brady was another one that cheated the grim reaper for a long time. Mean enough to survive cancer and keep on smoking heavily.
Eventually, something odd usually does them in. Infection from an ingrown toenail or something.
Satan likes to get all he can from them, I reckon.
“What is it with evil people living to be so old?”
Some might say that all of these evil people made pacts with the devil.
