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.

The left will kill her with kindness..
Dear RBG - Time for your nap. Bye-bye.
I get great satisfaction that she screwed over the liberals for decades to come. She could have let obama name her replacement.
The left must think kale is like spinach to Popeye.
The Democrats will have her stuffed and rolled out on wheels if they can get away with it.
A forest ecologist in Ohio?
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.
She has survived pancreatic and colon cancer. That old broad is tough. She could live another 7 years...kind of like mccain ...probably be a senator at 100
Wow, I read the top line wrong at first...ewww.
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 did not expect to read a Biggie quote in the comments here...
“Salt n’ Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine...”
Just.. LOL
I’d like to know about the doctors who treated her for those two deadly diseases & the treatment she received.
LOL - Who is this question directed to? Is Ginsberg being boarded at a kennel?
I see these seats as possible Trump picks
Ginsburg
Kennedy
Thomas
Breyer
(plus Scalia)

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.
Yes, they get very greedy!
We couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried!
