Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Sunday said she hopes to remain on the high court for at least five more years, according to CNN.
"My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years," 85-year-old Ginsburg said at an event in New York City.
Speculation over the future of the Supreme Court has mounted in recent weeks following President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, who would replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Kavanaugh's confirmation would sway the balance of the co

Zombies are always saying this crap.
It would be poetic justice if she hung in there that long only to have Mike Pence win the presidency in 2024.
There was the Scalia (Garland - not acted upon) Gorsuch seat in 2016. Republicans controlled the Senate.
I think Kennedy 1988 does not count - the vacancy was 1987.
Democrats controlled the Senate - could have played hardball, although we know now why Cranston supported Kennedy.
Warren 1968 - (Fortas - scuttled), then Burger appointed by Nixon. Democrats controlled the Senate.
Brennan 1956 - recess appointment. Democrats did control the Senate but they were adjourned at the time. Eisenhower’s motive was to appeal to urban Catholics, and of course that backfired. They probably weren’t expecting Minton’s resigbation.
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin
Damn, they are some miserable-looking broads, aren’t they...
Yeah Ruthie... five more years. Sure.
You pray for her retirement - I’ll be praying for her not too distant death.
I didn’t know embalming lasted that long.
she will probably decease before she retires
2.5+ 4= Trump appointee!!!!
Thanks RBG!
That look by Anthony Kennedy is hilarious! It’s almost as if he’s saying, “Good God, old woman... find a cot somewhere and sack out. You’re wrecking the decor!”
Justice Snorey is a leftist place holder.
She thinks 5 more years? Dr. Death may have something to say about that.
She is very much like am 18 year old drooling cat.
I’d say she will fold in a month or so.
Weekend at Bernie’s or McCain’s!
Yeah, good point.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dispelling rumors that the Supreme Court Justice could be retiring soon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg told reporters that she is “mentally fit enough to serve through the end of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s term in office.”
She made the comments just after her second morning nap, telling the press “not to worry” about her mental state.
“I can wait out that old Republican bat,” she said, grinning. “I’m not gonna sit around and let Eisenhower pick a terrible Supreme Court nominee like Earl Warren to replace me. No, siree. I’ll wait until one of the Kennedys finally runs for office so we’ll get a solid, left-wing judge in my place.”
Ginsburg also stated that she would continue to judge impartially on all pressing topics confronting the nation, such as the Cold War, segregation in schools, and the Red Scare.
At publishing time, a rambling Ginsburg had also stated she would not be resigning her post as Princess Frostine of the great kingdom of Candy Land “any time soon.”
They are pumping her full of ginseng, stem cells, HGH, and regular doses of electro-shock therapy to keep her going at all costs.
I was thinking more of the “Monopoly guy” scene from the second Ace Ventura movie.
“Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars”
“I’ll be on the bench for five more years”
