In the first scene of the documentary “ RBG,” Gloria Steinem calls Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “a superhero.” The label could not be more appropriate — or more stifling.
In recent years, Ginsburg, 85, has acquired a cultlike following.You can buy baby onesies and stud earrings of the jabot she wears when she delivers dissents; her workout routine has become a source of fitspiration; and, most recently, Felicity Jones played a young Ginsburg in the movie “On the Basis of Sex.” But, at the same time, her fragility has become clearer. Since Ginsburg’s appointment to the Supreme Court, she has survived both colorectal and pancreatic cancers. In November, she took time off after a fall. And this month , Ginsburg missed her first oral argument in 25 years while recovering from surgery for lung cancer. The result has been an unusually intense cultural preoccupation with Ginsburg’s mortality. Ginsburg deserves our esteem. But we can’t ask an octogenarian to take sole responsibility for preserving women’s rights. (snip)
On the left, (snip) those of us who admire Ginsburg need her, both to stand against attempts to ban abortion and to give us someone on the court we feel we can trust.
For many, the nightmare scenario is that Ginsburg will pass away while Trump is in office. Her health is breaking news. Her trainer calls her a “cyborg.” Irin Carmon, co-author of the biography “Notorious RBG,” has assured the public that Ginsburg is a resilient figure. Politico’s Roger Simon asked his Twitter followers if they would donate a day of their lives to keep Ginsburg on the job.

This ‘cult like following’ came out of nowhere, it just happened on its own, as if by magic!
I’m looking forward to the Notorious ACB taking her seat.
Jim Jones had a cult following and was defended by the likes of Harvey Milk, Jerry Brown, and Jimmy Carter.
Well, the problem, you see, is that she can't stand at all. She's in a vegetative state.
“Obsessing over Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s health is bad for her...”
Then by all means let’s keep it up.
If she (RBG) is not up to doing her job, it is anybody’s concern.
I am not obsessed over her health. I believe she may be dead you schnock nose idiot.
Ginsburg deserves our esteem.

Oh, DOES she, Washington Post? Why is that? Because she’s protected the “right” of females to murder their own children (males, of course, are inferior and have no rights)? Ooh. Build her a monument . . . in hell.
The sooner the old witch dies, the better off the planet will be - and no amount of sickening, leftist media spin is going to change that.
How do we know she’s alive? What’s keep her family and staff from not announcing her death until 2020 if Trump loses?
RBG must be in bad shape to prompt this article.
Good thing we don't live in a democracy. So we should be just fine.
both to stand against attempts to ban abortion
And there you have it. Leftism is a death cult.
She should step down for health reasons, but she won’t because of politics. Heck, she may not even be making this decision herself. Truly sad and somewhat depressing.
“In recent years, Ginsburg, 85, has acquired a vulture-like following”
Her trainer calls her a “cadaver”.
“But, at the same time, her rigor mortis has become clearer.”
