Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tells America She’d Like To Remain On The Bench ‘At Least Five More Years’

(snip) --- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Sunday said she wants to keep her Supreme Court seat for “at least five more years.”

“I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said Sunday in New York at a production about late Justice Antonin Scalia called “The Originalist,” CNN reported. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years.”

(snip) ---- Ginsburg cited “good behavior” and the lack of term limits as reasons why she intends to remain on the bench into the foreseeable future. “You can’t set term limits, because to do that you’d have to amend the Constitution,” she said. “Article 3 says … we hold our offices during good behavior … And most judges are very well behaved.”

CNN reports that Ginsburg has hired law clerks for at least two more court terms.

“Full title — Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tells America She’d Like To Remain On The Bench ‘At Least Five More Years’”

Translating, RBG says: “F*CK YOU America.” She’s in my daily prayers to be a recipient of a dirt nap. Ditto for Breyer & the “Wise Latrina!”

“You are right the founders never envisaged USSC judges sitting for 40 or 50 years”

Because when they wrote the Constitution, people didn’t often live past 60! They didn’t account for advancements in medical science.

Sleep and collect a paycheck till you’re 95..not a bad gig if you can get it. This so called “jurist” is morally corrupt.

If the photos on findagrave.com for Nathan and Celia Bader are indeed the parents of Ruth, (the dates on the gravestones appear to fit the timeline) then we can surmise she has outlived her parents.

Her mom passed away in Ruth’s senior year of high school. Celia was 48.

Ruth’s dad died when he was 71.

To do this does she want her body embalmed or stuffed? Any taxidermists out there willing to do a human? and If so, where would you order the forms for a 5'2” woman?

Ginsburg did everything but swear that she would leave office only when dead. Yet there are some unhappy examples of Supreme Court Justices who held on too long. Justice Douglas was slack-jawed and senile, in a wheel chair, and wearing an often leaky colostomy bag when he finally quit, and Justice Holmes was not only senile when he retired but frequently skipped out in the afternoon for the local burlesque show, where he sat in the front row and leered at the dancers. When Holmes was asked to retire at the age of 90, he said that he was surprised that his colleagues had waited so long!

>> Luke 4:12 Jews haven’t read that one.

Observant Jews don’t have to - it’s not a concept unique to the New Testament:

Exodus 17:2, 17:7
Deuteronomy 6:16, 33:8
Psalms 78:18, 95:8

Besides that, to call that dried up left wing Bader-Slimeberg a Jew is stretching it. Let’s say that in her prime, she was Semitic breeding stock.

She needs to die. She just pulled 5 years out of her ass because that is about when Trump’s second term ends and she knows the commit Senate Rats won’t allow Trump to replace her while he is a lame duck.

I predict she will die before then. I hope she dies quietly, peacefully, and painlessly. But I do hope she dies in the next year or two.

If 90 is a “kabillion” how much is 95?

1.05 kabillion

She didn’t leave during Obama’s term because she thought Hillary was going to win and she wanted a woman to appoint her successor. Now she’s going to try to not die as long as Trump remains in office. Thats the true reason behind her behavior regardless of any gas she blows out.

We already have the Deep State trying to run out the clock on our ELECTED representatives.

Term limits will allow Strzok, Rosenstein, et. al. to ignore Congress and the President with impunity.

Doesn’t matter. The godless left will just prop her up aka Weekend at Bernie’s style and swear she’s still alive.

Kinda like John McStain
