Associate Supreme Court Judge Ruth Ginsburg is just like John McCain....dead...long before she actually passed. If she had any honor, dignity & class she would resign from the court immediately!!!

“Does she get to vote in absentia too?”

Didn’t she vote “from the hospital” last week or so?

She will likely vote a couple times after she meets her lord.
Dims will keep her on ice until she starts to smell.

I wonder if that tool Roberts and the rest of the left want to fake it into 2020, hoping the can rely on the “Biden Rule” and vote fraud in 2020.

Yes, she does. She’s already done it once. This is outrageous as there is no assurance she is the one actually voting.

She’s busy at the gym. Can’t make it to work because she’s doing deadlifts and I hear she bench presses well over 400 pounds.

She can remain in office as long as she chooses because the Democrats took the House.

This ought to be example number one of why lifetime appointments should be abolished. She is totally incapacitated, unable to execute her responsibilities and reasonably can be suspected of allowing others to user her vote for her through this great process Roberts put in place to preserve her leftwing seat at all costs. She could linger unseen on her deathbed for years, potentially even have dementia and she’ll remain on the court while some minion of the DNC pushes the “side with the left” button for her in every ruling.

Searching the world for a look-alike replacement, since she’s dead.

Is a video record of those proceedings available for her to review?

I’m sure Ruth would do the right thing and retire but with Trump being president the democrat in her won’t let that happen. My condolences to her family being denied any quality time she has left.

Liberals believe their only chance at life after death, is to build Nirvana on Earth through their own efforts. She is working her way into salvation preying to god/guv.
