Justice Ginsburg, 84, Signals Intent to Work for Years More [Wishful speaking alert]
Newsmax ^ | January 27, 2018

In different circumstances, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg might be on a valedictory tour in her final months on the Supreme Court. But in the era of Donald Trump, the 84-year-old Ginsburg is packing her schedule and sending signals she intends to keep her seat on the bench for years.

The eldest Supreme Court justice has produced two of the court's four signed opinions so far this term. Outside court, she's the subject of a new documentary that includes video of her working out. And she's hired law clerks to take her through June 2020, just four months before the next presidential election.

Soaking in her late-in-life emergence as a liberal icon, she's using the court's monthlong break to embark on a speaking tour that is taking her from the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to law schools and synagogues on the East Coast. One talk will have her in Rhode Island on Tuesday, meaning she won't attend the president's State of the Union speech that night in Washington.

The witch is immortal.

If she died, of course Heaven wouldn’t take her, and Satan would be afraid she’d overthrow him, so Hell’s out.

She’s stuck here.

Why are we calling her “Buzzy” now ?

The reason seems evident based on the above comparison ...

It was her character on Laugh In and the identity she attained from it, especially on Dean Martin’s Roasts. So, if you lived down the road from her, tell us what her real name is so that we can differentiate while making fun of the character.

For the record.......

Clint is my model and example to look up to as I pass through my 75th year.

At 86, from his studio located office of 30+ years, Clint Eastwood produced and directed a fantastic movie The 15:17 to Paris. On Fox and Friends just now pitching his movie, clint looked good.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, Sheriff Joe served effectively at 85 and looks pretty good as he announced as a candidate for the Senate ( I doubt his sincerity but who am I to judge)

The lesson here is that me, in good health, must plan for at least 90.

When I was 22, I visited my grandfather on my way to the philippines to work for the Navy. He was 90. He asked me to walk his little farm. We went down by the creek and he proudly showed me his new recently planted orchard.

Ruth Buzzy is an awesome lady. I used to live down the road from her as a kid.

Ruth Buzzy acted crazy for her act but I always suspected she was an awesome lady. Thanks for confirming it.

If these ancient justices has any self-respect, they'd resign instead of hanging on 'til their last breadth.

I realize it would require a Constitutional amendment, but seams like justices should have 20 year terms. Enough to ensure stability of the court, reasonably consistent with life 200 years ago. We don't need these out-of-touch justices sticking around 'literally for life'.

The Democrats seem ancient.

Hillary, Pelosi, Ginsburg, Feinstein, McCain.

“... but the 84-year old baby-killing Libtard suffers from colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and wears a stent in her heart! “

Lets hope she can avoid the flu.

Looks like the buzzards are circling and the media is trying to waive them off. Trump could be replacing 3 by 2020. If that were a headline, the left would be manning the barricades.

Ruth buzzy, a shriveled-up old hag who is way past her prime, refuses to retire, out of her hatred for Trump.

Next up: a book SG84 glorifying Ginsburg’s secret diet and physical regimen that keeps her razor sharp.

It's impossible to parody the Left.

At her age, she would be wise to remove years from future plans. Everything is day to day.

Pump enough preservatives into her, and she could be an undead (she’s already a zombie anyway) sitting on the bench for decades.

She just needs to be seen from time to time...... her law clerks handling all the stuff.

If she had a REAL job, she would have retired 30 years ago.

This LIB dreg likely won’t last much longer. Then, she will most likely get very, very hot for a long, long time.
