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.
Pray for her Salvation and comfort.
She will not retire in the next two years - if she didn’t retire during Obama’s presidency she certainly will not during Trump’s. If Trump doesn’t win re-election, she might be persuaded by her liberal friends to retire in 2021.
Has anyone even seen her?
If Trump nominates a woman they will try to burn her at the stake.
Is that a prediction, a statement of fact, or a wish? Irresponsible headline.
The Handmaid’s Tale is on!
Her law clerks are hearing cases from home.
Corpseburg is being sprayed with Febreze to keep the smell down.
How would this guy know something that no one else seems to know?
This isn't news. This isn't a fact.
It's speculation. It's an opinion.
If the headline were 'Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg MAY Retire from the US Supreme Court in January, 2019' it would be clear it was speculation.
I don't believe this misleading headline/article should be posted as it leads people to believe it is about to happen.
I believe you should ask the mods to pull this.
Indelible in the hippocampus is that whoever Trump nominates is a rapist...
The great controversy between good and evil continues until the events described in Revelation. Until then, Lucifer, the devil or Satan is largely in control, proving to the universe that he's not worthy of controlling anything!!!
In other words, God wins when the show is over...
LOL.
Goes with my first thought, Ding dong the witch is dead.
Hanging on to die in office is not pointless to one who will curse PDJT & his supporters to her dying breath.
This is RBG’s final upraised middle finger.
Isn’t it illegal in most states to keep a dead body more than three days?
” God wins when the show is over... “
Reminds me of that gospel quartet song named something like, “I Read the Back Of the Book”.
It is my thought that she is hanging on long enough to be “close” to the next election so the left can block another Supreme Court nomination made by President Trump.
It will come down to the Republicans in the Senate if that tactic works or not.
Yes, and “Gimme That Ole Time Religion. It’s good enuf fer me!”
