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.”
After she croaks.
satan has been given limited influence on this earth for a timebeing which God has chosen, but God is in control. Holy Spirit can still stir people’s hearts and minds toward God. satan trys to kill steal and destroy what is good or godly about a person and many cave at times (free will) and bad things can snowball from there, but God knew this from the beginning and He is still in control (book of Job - God, in control, allowed things to happen to Job)
No they were not correct. As far as I know Ginsburg has not retired yet. However I do hope she does retire this month.
Yes, as I said, He’s allowing the evil deceiver to have his way for a host of reasons. Therefore he’s roaming about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, knowing he hath but a short time... he’s a short-timer and so is RBG!!!

LOL ! You’re right. If she were leaving the SC this month
it would be the top story on every news outlet.
Either way, times will get interesting once she leaves the court.
She likely won’t survive 6 mos.
Ruth Buzzy plans to die a SCOTUS justice. She’s not going to resign.
is this real? Please GOD, let it true
Does she live in DC? Not a state.
What's sad about that? Ridding the court of a liberal justice is a GOOD thing!
You are correct. But it won’t stop morons from knowing which sites are obviously fake news clickbait nonsense designed only to get clicks for advertising revenue.
The level of intelligent discourse on FR has sadly degenerated over the past five years to the point that it is a largely just an echo chamber for the obsessed conspiracy buffs, well meaning wishful thinkers and few truly intelligent activists. Any different opinion is now rewarded with threats, insults, etc. That never was the case in the past. And so many FReepers that used to post have left and moved on. Sad.
What you end up with is nonsense articles like this garbage, or equally fake nonsense from IWB or Jim Hoft Gateway Pundit. This is now what passes for intelligent discussion. Follow the money.
Glad to see you back.
If she is “hearing cases from home,” that means she is in bed and her law clerks wake her up and tell how to vote and then back to bed.
“Seriously, what’s to keep the lawless left from covering for her death and then having her radical Communist law clerks write opinions for months going forward?
Bingo. Need proof of life on a regular basis.”
Roberts might not “inquire,” but there are other Justices who would not let him get away with it.
USSC clerks writing opinions for their bosses is almost standard practice. Scalia was notable for frequently writing his opinions solo.
RBG’s death couldn’t be covered up for more than a day or so, but as with Congressmen, debilitating dementia can go unacknowledged for a long time.
