(snip) --- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Sunday said she wants to keep her Supreme Court seat for at least five more years.
Im 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 cant set term limits, because to do that youd 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.

Judge Judy makes a little more than Ruthie.

Is this about JJ’s salary?
Are you trying to say that if RBG made as much as JJ she would not ‘doze off’ in public?
Like Babe Ruth said when he was told he was making more than the President...’I had a better year’.
My point was they both say ‘empty’ things and at least JJ doesn’t get caught sleeping when should be awake.

That is the deal. If she wants to stay until they carry her out feet first, so be it.
If she lasts five years, that is still during Trump II. I give her about 18 months. One does not escape the grim reaper as many times as she has. It will catch up to her.

"She's had both Colon and Pancreatic cancer and is 75 years old. And despite the Maoist style propaganda of her doing so many push-ups a day she's a frail 75 at that."

This is Loretta Young (actress) who I thought RBG looked somewhat like in post # 26.

Obama nominated and McConnell followed the Biden rule. Would he do that again in if the Ginsburg seat came open in 2020? No and neither would they.

Judge Judy makes a little more than Ruthie. It was just a failed attempt at humor.

No and neither would they. Probably not. But the GOP did to Obama and the cries of hypocrisy will be deafening if it happens.

-------------
Loretta Young movies:
I really enjoyed The Bishops Wife with Cary Grant and David Niven ..... and Rachel and the Stranger with William Holden and Robert Mitchum.
She was in an incredible 110 movies.
