The woman is a cancer-breeding and cancer-killing machine. – Think about it: How many people have you ever heard of who have had lung cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer over a span of less than a decade and lived to tell about it?
That’s the record that the extraordinarily enduring Ruth Bader Ginsburg has now racked up in recent years. Today, she announced that she has been receiving treatments for liver cancer since May and the Supreme Court has managed to cover that little fact up until now. She also claimed that her hospitalization earlier this week had no relation to her latest battle with cancer, but that seems hard to believe.
From a report at Fox News:
“On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy to treat a recurrence of cancer,” Ms Ginsburg said in her statement.
“The chemotherapy course… is yielding positive results,” she added. “My most recent scan on 7 July indicated [a] significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease.
“I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment,” she said. “I will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay.”
Supreme Court justices serve for life or until they choose to retire, and supporters have expressed concern that if anything were to happen to Ms Ginsburg a more conservative judge might replace her while President Donald Trump, a Republican, remains in office.
“I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam,” Ms Ginsburg said in the statement. “I remain fully able to do that.”
[End]
Everyone should wish the Justice well in this latest battle – there is nothing more terrible than having to deal with cancer, and she has established perhaps the most amazing record in human history of beating forms of the disease that kill a very high percentage of those who suffer from them.
That having been said, the truth about her last statement in that excerpt – “I remain fully able to do that” – is that she is only able to remain nominally on the Court because staff and interns perform 99% of the actual work for her. In that, she is certainly far from the first justice to retain a seat in that way, but unlike her survival skills, it is not something anyone should admire.
The fact that this ailment was kept a secret from a public that deserves to know is also nothing to admire, but not at all surprising for an institution led by a living chameleon, Chief Justice John Roberts.
Meanwhile, in REAL news… – There is no new low to which the members of the White House press corps will not stoop.
Today, a Reuters photographer made it his job to invade the privacy of Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, worming his way close enough to the podium to get a shot of the tabs on her famous briefing notebook that she brings into every meeting with the assembled enemies of the people.
Here’s the shot:
White House photographer snapped photo of the press secretary's ...
All the corrupt, blue-check media hacks on Twitter are making a huge deal about the tabs titled “Hate” and “Absurd,” but the obvious explanations for those are easy:
– “Hate” contains answers to any question posed by PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor; and
– “Absurd” contains notes that describe the preening behavior of Jim Acosta.
This is not hard, folks.
That is all.
Well Ruth, you’re sure able to ‘suck balls’ full steam, you’ve proven that over and over.
Was the interview taken via Ouija board?
No, she's been receiving treatments for liver cancer since May. She's had liver cancer for a lot longer than that. It wouldn't surprise me if she's been having treatments for a much longer period, but they are only now reporting it to make it sound like they caught it early.
I wouldn’t be surprised if/when one of the organs goes seriously on the blink that the others will shut down as well. That’s pretty common, esp for elderly folks.
“I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam,” Ms Ginsburg said in the statement. “I remain fully able to do that.do that.do that.
eeerrrk.”
To be so frail and to live so loong.
I won’t be a conspiracy theorist and say maybe she’s getting some treatments most can’t get.
She is likely just getting treated by the best.
Actually she was diagnosed with liver mets back in February.
I knew something was up when they said her fever was after a procedure on stent in her liver. That screamed to me either pancreatic or liver cancer.
Yet we kept hearing about her being “cancer free”.
Probably duct tape keeping her innards in place.
lol
It would be victory for her if democrats take the senate
My mother suffered from ovarian cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer which was on her death certificate as her cause of death, she was only 61 when she died.
In a just world, Ruthie would be long gone, Just saying
Bi-weekly chemotherapy (poison) usually makes one useless for the better part of a week. At best she is fifty percent functional. If she had any integrity she would retire.
Republicans got played once again.
There will be no time left in the congressional calendar to vote in a new supreme court justice. RBG and the democrats played their cards very well.

Change the name from republicans to suckers.
i say satan’s really got a lot of mileage out of her.
When you fall asleep at every SOTUA, every gathering and function, you aren’t “going full steam.” Her law clerks and DNC handlers are writing her opinions. She is a puppet on some very serious life support.
She is getting the best care, and there is no political correctness or bureaucracy in the way.
If she had any integrity she would retire.
At this point it may not be up to her...
I doubt she wrote the statement.
Sometimes people of great power, her, Soros, become
the captives of their own organizations.
Kept alive in spite of their own wishes.
My friend made a suit for the prom out of duct tape. Good stuff. Brawndo. It has electrolytes.
Yes.
I bet 20 million or more has been spent over 10 years.
I’ve seen people rack up a million that is covered by health insurance and that is in a much shorter time period
