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.

She showed up for the inaugural. I wondered what she was thinking that day.
“I could organize the gays, and we would just make a protective circle around her at all times.”
Who knows what loathsome diseases they would give her?
Sounds like a plan to me.
She’s not sleeping. She’s drunk.
Well what do you know, the dim rats want to control
her every waking moment. How surprising. Not.
Like they did with hillary rotten clinton?
Not sure who it might be, but on Hannity the other night three or four of the various guests indicated that they had heard there might be a retirement of a justice coming up in June after the current session ends - we can hope.....
Ruth Baader Meinhof is not going to be around much longer, so it will be fun to see the Democrats writhing in despair after they waste all their remaining tactics trying to stop Gorsuch. :)
Yeah, I know. I’ve been in some nice wooded areas in Ohio. Still, “forest ecologist” and Ohio seem like a mismatch. Then again, forest ecologist?
Ruth Buzze Ginsberg has to survive to 92 to keep her seat liberal. Thurgood Marshall tried to outlast a Republican prez and failed.
She promised to flee to Australia if Trump won, maybe she was dreaming of kangaroos and a barby.
Kennedy wants to retire.
They seem to think if you eat kale, you’ll never get sick or get cancer. You’d have to be an idiot to think like that.
There’s a wise Latina setting up for a nose-dive, too.
I think the Left are more into ratnip.
Not as good as Ginsberg, but it’s a start......
Granny Clampett is fading fast!!
>>> "Looking back, it was seriously dumb (and, frankly, selfish) of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer not to retire from #SCOTUS in 2013," fumed a user on Twitter shortly after the Gorsuch announcement. <<<<
Heh! I really enjoy the left eating their own.
Weekend at Ruthie’s
>>> (RBG) regularly does push-ups, she told the crowd, as well as situps and “something called a plank.” She can do more than 20 push-ups. She does the full push-ups, not the knee variation. She has a personal trainer. This personal trainer also now works with Justices Elena Kagan and Stephen G. Breyer, too. “He does his best to keep us all in shape,” Ginsburg reports. <<<
Gotta give her that. Not many at age 83 can do push-ups and sit-ups.
She is one of the four reliably liberal jurists on the Supreme Court, and a mascot and hero to the left

That is an understatement....
Imagine if R Limbaugh referred to her as a ‘Mascot’.
