If she is that sick, maybe she will be incapacitated. 3 1/2 years until the next preisdent is sworn in. That can be a looong time for a sick person.
Well if she IS inccapacitated than they should force her to retire like they did with "Wild Bill" Douglas. But with current situation on the Court...I'd doubt whether Stevens would manage to do what Brennan and Marshall (who were probably the most liberal people in the whole country, except Douglas himself) did.
