Editor's Note; We first posted this story in September, 2018. Sadly we were correct, as Justice Ginsburg underwent surgery on December 15th to remove a cancerous growth from her lungs. We are reposting it since so many people contacted us to ask if it was true, which sadly, it is. God bless Justice Ginsburg; we wish her the best and thank her for her service to this Country.
While the Nation is preoccupied with the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, it appears there will soon be another vacancy on the US Supreme Court
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has had a re-occurrence of malignant melanoma, she has told her law clerks. Ginsburg was treated in 1999 for colon cancer and had surgery in 2009 for pancreatic cancer.
She has told key Democratic members of the Senate about her medical condition, including ranking Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein. This explains in part the "take no prisoners" attitude of the Democrats during the Kavanaugh nomination, carefully orchestrating weak 37 year old allegations against Kavanaugh by Women he barely remembers knowing in High School and College.
Kavanaugh is a player in this drama. He's in the wrong place at the wrong time . President Donald J Trump will be replacing Notorious RBG, the lovechild of the left, and so will remake the Supreme Court for a generation. The Democrats simply must win back the Senate in November 2018, progressives feel.
Ginsburg, 85 was appointed by President Bill Clinton and took the oath of office on August 10, 1993. She is the second female justice (after Sandra Day O'Connor) of four to be confirmed to the court (along with Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, who are still serving). Following O'Connor's retirement, and until Sotomayor joined the court, Ginsburg was the only female justice on the Supreme Court. During that time, Ginsburg became more forceful with her dissents, which were noted by legal observers and in popular culture. She is generally viewed as belonging to the liberal wing of the court. Ginsburg has authored notable majority opinions, including United States v. Virginia, Olmstead v. L.C., and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc.
Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Russian Jewish immigrants. Her older sister died when she was a baby, and her mother, one of her biggest sources of encouragement, died shortly before Ginsburg graduated from high school. She then earned her bachelor's degree at Cornell University, and was a wife and mother before starting law school at Harvard, where she was one of the few women in her class. Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated tied for first in her class.
Following law school, Ginsburg turned to academia. She was a professor at Rutgers School of Law and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. Ginsburg spent a considerable part of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court. She advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and was a member of its board of directors and one of its general counsels in the 1970s. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court.
Beware, this could be “A Week end at Bernie’s” judge.
U.S. Supreme Court's Ginsburg to miss Monday's oral arguments
Nothing new at all. She misses most oral arguments while she's passed out on the bench.
I honestly thought the article I posted would have been deleted by now, lol.
From the article:

Goes on to say this is why they went to the mat w/Kavanaugh and that they are now desperate to regain the Senate.
Must be a prog site, since they are sad and felt it necessary to emphasize that Trump will have changed the Court for a generation.
Given RBG’s age and health history, she may just have no choice other than to resign. Hanging on to die in office is pointless. I have seen metastasized cancer in a family member. There’s a good chance she is 1) on heavy IV painkillers and 2)if there are brain mets, she is already cognitively challenged. My mother-in-law was out of it from brain mets and IV morphine for at least a couple of months at the end. She could barely eat.
Terrible end for anyone.
I think this is real.
Cue the next prog meltdown.
This is wishful thinking. Ginsburg will never resign with Trump is POTUS. FTR I don’t wish illness or any other harm on RBG. I just wish she would leave.
Why should she retire? She apparently casts votes while under heavy anesthesia.
Even dead they will prop her up and and libs will take turns being puppet master. The court will become a surreal version on ‘Weekend at Bernie’s!
RGB is oding same as McCain - on various tretaments and Rxs screwing with their minds and yet they persist in not letting go of their job which they can no longer clear mindedly do.
I say this with all respect due being I recently lost a loved one to cancer and no one wants to see people decline and give up independence and abilities but God is in control and when people try to put themselves in control it comes off as Mccain or now RGB. At this stage of things she should step down instead of disgracing herself as McCain did.
She’s determined to stay there long enough that Trump won’t be. Able to name replacement until 2021.
LOL, you are correct.
Links to this “SMO” site should be blocked by FR. It’s a fake news site that repeatedly makes FR look like a bunch of idiots.
Nothing, they put an ineligible usurper in the White House in violation of the Constitution.
If she has to be rolled in on a gurney and one of her law clerks
has to hold her arm up to vote, she will be there until she dies.
She wants to be the first Breathing-Challenged (aka dead) American on the Supreme Court...(her brain is...)
Nothing compared to if they try to impeach Trump.
If President Trump nominates a WOMAN, what will they do?....................
