Just how much influence is President Donald Trump going to have on the U.S. Supreme Court? His administration hasn’t 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 doesn’t appear to be ready to step down. In fact, the same week she was a no-show at President Trump’s address to Congress, she was in the news for her impressive workout regimen.
Now aged 84, and the senior member of the high court’s 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.
Here’s what you need to know:

2. She’s 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 Doesn’t Need the Money [snip]

At her age, they have to be very fast 5 facts. Blisteringly fast
Also, Ruth Buzzy was her idol and inspiration.
People like her always seem to corner the market on longevity.
6. She’s undead
7. Evil doesn’t die
Though Jared and Ivanka will probabky nix that.
6. She’s a Zombie.
But when it’s her time, you can bet Schumer and Pelosi will attempt to filibuster the inevitable.
3 - Working out does not gurantee good health or long life.
Keeping active is good for your well being and does provide some modest health improvements however it does not stop cancer or heart attacks (or even falling down breaking a hip).
As Howie Carr likes to quip, Ginsburg doesn’t buy green bananas.
She’s the Fidel Castro of the SC
Kushner had better have 0.0% influence in selection of a scotus candidate.
0.0%...!!
I’m surprised the article didn’t give the over/under for 2017.
84? She has at least another 10 years. My mother lived to be 100+ and was active and in good health until the last 4 years. It was really only the last year that her decline was perceptible.
Ginsburg cannot hang on much longer and will die or step down in the next four years. If Trump nominates a replacement like Gorsuch, Senate Democrats will gnash their teeth and rend their garments, but the nuclear option has already been triggered and a conservative SCOTUS will be assured for a generation.
So...when RBG is videoed asleep in public, she’s just exhausted from all those blistering workouts?
She’s only 84? I thought she was older than that 20 years ago.
Eat healthy, exercise, and use sacrificed baby parts when needed.
That is how I read it.
