WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's first absence from the bench extended into a second day on Tuesday as the 85-year-old jurist continued her recovery from lung cancer surgery at home.

She will read transcripts of the arguments. Very nice. Suppose Kavanaugh wanted to have a few days at the beach. Do you suppose they would let him go as long as he read the transcripts?

Have the local cops done a “proof of life” check?

I do NOT want anyone to construe this post as hopeful. It is NOT.

Well that’s great John, well then why even have oral arguments.

Yes, but only until her corpus decays entirely.

She and her “trainer” have been camping out at the theater waiting for her “movie” to open.

Why can’t all of Congress work this way. They can stay in their Districts/States, and vote from there. We have technology that would make that easy.

The Court makes their own rules? She can join the Friday Conference
by tele conferencing then.

The Congress requires members to be at Capitol Hill Chambers to vote.

I’m pretty sure the President knows if she is alive or dead. The Deep State may not want him to know, but I think he knows one way or another.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if he told us tonight that she’s been dead for weeks?

At 85 any major surgery is dicey recovery. There may be another opening around the corner.
