The photos at Kananaugh's ceremony show a huge lump on Ginsberg's neck. What is it?

Where do you get that from? Most government agencies do not have a mandatory retirement age, except for law enforcement.
Could be a fluid filled cyst or possibly a fatty lipoma. Looks too superficial to be a lymph node. Just an educated guess. At least Anthony Kennedy retired with some vitality left to enjoy life. Old Ruthie is too hardcore leftist for that option.
“Im posting from my cell “
Are you allowed visitors?
What are you in for, did you insult Hillary?
Those dirty glasses drove me crazy! They added to the oddness of the whole day. Ugh.
“What is the huge lump on Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s neck?”
It’s a piece of shit stuck between two ears.
Thanks a rot...my biscuits and gravy are coming back up.
An inflamed gill slit.
Goiter.
My diet thanks you for posting that pic - I have no desire to eat now.
Seriously, I would like some FReeper dick to explain a few possible things that could cause that.
BTW, I don’t wish her badly. But maybe she should retire and spend her remaining time with her family. It is pretty clear that she hasn’t got more than a year or two left.
Its demon spawn. Shes about to subdivide.
“FReeper dick”
Uh, DOC. Sorry.
Between fat fingers, no coffee, a phone with a (rather sick) mind of its own and that picture...well, that’s what happens.
Or the way Scalia was removed.
Her head?
“Looks too superficial to be a lymph node.”
Older people sprout these lymphomas, slow growing. I am quite sure that it’s been checked out and most likely benign. Too large for a sebaceous cyst, don’t think Lipoma.
I’m going with an Upper Posterior Cervical lymph node etiology unknown.

Malignancy
Lymph nodes may become enlarged in malignant disease. This cervical lymphadenopathy may be reactive or metastatic. Alternatively, enlarged lymph nodes may represent a primary malignancy of the lymphatic system itself, such as lymphoma (both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s), lymphocytic leukemia,
Metastatic lymph nodes are enlarged because tumor cells have detached from the primary tumor and started growing in the lymph node (”seeded”). Since cancer generally occurs more frequently in older people, this kind of lymphadenopathy is more common in older persons.
Metastatic lymph nodes tend to feel hard and may be fixed to underlying tissues and may or may not be tender.
Usually the lymph nodes that directly drain the area of the cancer are affected by the spread (e.g. Sometimes metastatic cervical lymph node is detected before the main cancer). In such cases, this discovery leads to a search for the primary malignancy, firstly in the nearby area with endoscopy, “blind” biopsies, and tonsillectomy on the side of the lymphadenopathy. If no tumor is found, then the rest of the body is examined, looking for lung cancer or other possible sites. If still no primary tumor is detected, the term “occult primary” is used.
In lymphoma, usually there are multiple enlarged nodes which feel rubbery to palpation.
Rhabdomyosarcoma
Neuroblastoma
Other causes
Surgical trauma, e.g. following a biopsy in the mouth
Kawasaki disease,
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease
Rosai-Dorfman disease
Castleman disease
sarcoidosis
Lupus erythematosus
Cyclic neutropenia
Orofacial granulomatosis
Laz? We gots a live one...
The next public appearance they will wheel her on on a gurney.
NEXT!
She looks really old and really bad.
Goiter?
