I remember it like it was ... yesterday.
Prayers for a quick recovery.
I will pray for her recovery (not just because Obama has the power to nominate, although that will add to my sense of urgency).
Any ideas who might be in the on deck circle?
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. Less than 5% of those diagnosed are still alive 3 months after diagnosis.
Prayers for Justice Ginsburg.
I have heard that pancreatic cancer is extremely painful. I will pray for her.
Not much further damage can be done in nominating a new Justice to replace her.
What’s sad is that when Obama was elected, I thought that the worst part of it for conservatives would be his Supreme Court nominees and impact on the federal judiciary because I’d hoped he’d be smart enough to govern as a moderate. Given how incompetent he’s been with the pork package, his appointments, and his stated objectives with respect to national defense in just his first two weeks, I think I was wrong and it may turn out that Surpeme Court nominees are the least of our concern with him and the wheel.
I wrote a column about how this would likely unfold back in November: http://www.istherealawyerinthechurch.com/?p=113
“Can President Obama Change the Supreme Court?”
The fact that she has had surgery to me means that they got the tumor before it spread. Some of you people act like nobody ever survives this. The reason it is usually fatal is because once you get symptoms it’s probably too late. A 1 cm tumor is small and depending on the type of tumor, very treatable.
I didn’t mean you in particular but others on this and other threads on this subject.
Finding a nominee more to the left than Ginzburg will sorely tax Obama. Right now they are checking whether Angela Davis has a law degree.
Will any of his SC nominees be tax cheats too?
I wish her the best, but even under best circumstances, whe will probably not be well enough to work within 3 months of today...and it will be probably get worse.
Regarding a replacement, how could there be anyone worse?
Pancreatic cancer is awful. I feel bad for her and her family and will offer prayers for them.
Maybe Bambi will bail out of the whole POTUS gig and nominate himself......
My mom lasted less than 3 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, or a democrat. Prayers to her and her family.
Prayers and best wishes for Ginsberg.
No reason to lower ourselves due to her politics.
I know Nino Scalia must be saddened by the health of his friend.
I’m sorry, I can’t wish her well, so I will just say nothing.
