'Can she eat more kale?' Hordes of liberals want reassurance RBG's health is good
SFGate ^ | February 2, 2017 | Monica Hesse

On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch for deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's long-empty seat. On Wednesday morning, liberals woke up, did the math and realized it was time to be concerned about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's fiber intake. Also bone density. Also exposure to airborne viruses (Madame Justice, what is your flu shot status?), and salmonella, and slippery ice, and also: Has anyone heard how scientists are coming along with a Zika vaccine?

"I'm very interested in this." says Jeanette Bavwidinski, a community organizer in Pennsylvania. "I'm interested in what her daily regimen is. Like, what are you all feeding RBG? Is she getting enough fresh air? Is she walking? Is she staying low-stress? What is she reading? Is she reading low-stress things?" Related Stories

"Can she eat more kale?" asks Kim Landsbergen, a forest ecologist in Ohio. "Eat more kale, that's all I can say. We love you. Eat more kale.

The facts in play: Ginsburg is 83 years old, the oldest justice by more than three years. She is one of the four reliably liberal jurists on the Supreme Court, and a mascot and hero to the left. There is one swing vote on the court, Anthony M. Kennedy, and there are three staunch conservatives. Adding Gorsuch would maintain the balance that existed when Scalia was alive: conservative replacing conservative.

But what if Ginsburg retires? What if Ginsburg gets sick and needs a leave of absence? What if Trump ends up replacing Ginsburg? In a week that has seen a relentless churn of White House news, liberal residents of the nation funneled their worst fears into a tiny, elderly woman.

I get great satisfaction that she screwed over the liberals for decades to come. She could have let obama name her replacement.

Liberals have for many years wanted the Notorious RBG to retire so the Liberal Messiah could pick her replacement, but she refused to step down. Now President Trump will get to get to replace her. Thank you Ruth.

A forest ecologist in Ohio?

Lots of woods in the southeast part of the state and if the rest wasn't farmed it would revert back to the natural forest.

One local park has a century trail where 100 plots of land have been marked off and one new one is left to go wild each year. The oldest is 20 years old and growing trees nicely.

""I kept thinking, you know, I could organize a bunch of gays," says John Hagner, a consultant for Democratic campaigns who lives in Washington. "I could organize the gays, and we would just make a protective circle around her at all times. We could help her get up and down the stairs. We got this.""

Just.. LOL

Like, what are you all feeding RBG? Is she getting enough fresh air? Is she walking?

LOL - Who is this question directed to? Is Ginsberg being boarded at a kennel?

I wonder if he “could organize a bunch of gays” to form a circle and visit various ICUs and cancer wards here and there. Apparently his “gays” have magical healing powers.

Beyer also looks like a cadaver. By comparison, J. Kennedy is the picture of vim and vigor. He’s only been on the court for 30 years, since Reagan.
