From Jul 2018: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Just Hinted at a Time Frame for Her Retirement (in 5 years)
Fortune | July 30, 2018 | Hallie Detrick

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t plan on retiring for at least another five years, according to CNN...

... “I’m now 85,” she said, explaining “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so I think I have about at least five more years.”

She’ll be gone in less than six months from pnemonia. Broken ribs are brutal even on healthy people like Rand Paul.

I saw her hobble into the Kavanaugh swearing in. Judging from her physical condition I don’t think she will last that long.

Was it a fall, or it is bone cancer.

She has had cancer and a recurrence can locate in bone.

Ecclesiastes 9:12 (KJV) For man also knoweth not his time:
as the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the snare;
so are the sons of men snared in an evil time,
when it falleth suddenly upon them.

I suspect the grim reaper is smiling right about now...

I don’t wish you any harm Ms. Ginsberg, but I don’t think you’re timetable is the one that will prevail.

If it’s Soros money keeping her alive, she might make it 5 more years. Few else has deep enough pockets for experimental bionic parts

Talking heads say she’s still sharp as a tack. They need to explain why she couldn’t string two coherent words together in that recent video.

I think she plans on lasting until the last year of Trump's presidency, then Dems would invoke the Biden rule - no confirmations in last year of presidency.

That could be true. Seems like broken bones at that age cause a lot of problems and often complications. That will be the only way she will be gone from the SC. Her handlers are not going to let her quit.
