On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch for deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's long-empty seat. On Wednesday morning, liberals woke up, did the math and realized it was time to be concerned about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's fiber intake. Also bone density. Also exposure to airborne viruses (Madame Justice, what is your flu shot status?), and salmonella, and slippery ice, and also: Has anyone heard how scientists are coming along with a Zika vaccine?
"I'm very interested in this." says Jeanette Bavwidinski, a community organizer in Pennsylvania. "I'm interested in what her daily regimen is. Like, what are you all feeding RBG? Is she getting enough fresh air? Is she walking? Is she staying low-stress? What is she reading? Is she reading low-stress things?" Related Stories
"Can she eat more kale?" asks Kim Landsbergen, a forest ecologist in Ohio. "Eat more kale, that's all I can say. We love you. Eat more kale.
The facts in play: Ginsburg is 83 years old, the oldest justice by more than three years. She is one of the four reliably liberal jurists on the Supreme Court, and a mascot and hero to the left. There is one swing vote on the court, Anthony M. Kennedy, and there are three staunch conservatives. Adding Gorsuch would maintain the balance that existed when Scalia was alive: conservative replacing conservative.
But what if Ginsburg retires? What if Ginsburg gets sick and needs a leave of absence? What if Trump ends up replacing Ginsburg? In a week that has seen a relentless churn of White House news, liberal residents of the nation funneled their worst fears into a tiny, elderly woman.

“Itd be a hoot if she said she loved fried food, Bourbon and a cigarette now and then.”

I’m a bit older than her-—I don’t drink but I eat EVERYTHING and still smoke.
If anyone suggested that I eat kale I’d wack ‘em.

She’s lucky Podesta doesn’t have emails in his inbox with her name and “wet works” in the same message.
If she were a conservative she would have been invited to some remote resort long ago where there was no medical examiner around for 100 miles.
Look at Roberts hands in the first photo. Isn’t that a strange way for a man to hold his hands. Maybe that’s a gang signal for a subgroup of men?
These people are fruitcakes. What if a justice won't retire and is in a hospital bed? Can they continue to serve as a justice? They could have an aide ask her how to vote and she nods her head up and down or sideways. I think it could come to THIS.
Notice how Hillary and Obama didn't make a fuss about it to excite their voters over a liberal-majority court...sure it could be that dems just knew she was a shoo-in so why panic GOP voters unecessarily...but could (also) be that they knew it would galvanize conservatives so best to keep quiet about it.
If anyone suggested that I eat kale Id wack em.

I believe you.
There are three branches to the United States Government: the legislative, the executive, and Anthony Kennedy.
Imagine! The Donald gets to a appoint a branch of government!
Yes, but look at the bruises on RBG’s hand, it appears as if she’s had a transfusion, or some medical drip.
Isn’t she a diabetic?
Yes, in fact Type 1 apparently.
And make sure Gorsuch doesn’t visit that lodge.
Kennedy has indicated that he might retire.
JAC
C is for crone
She has had cancer on top of aging poorly, but hey she is 83.
As long as the shriveled liberal can drag her ass to court she’ll vote whack left...
Liberals crack me up! At this point, no amount of kale is going to do a damn thing for her...
Taxidermy is an option.
Taxidermy is an option...
Yes... Then they can stand her up in the corner and have nightmares of how her vote could have ruined America.
