Not exactly. If Ginsburg were unable to attend USSC hearings, she wouldn’t be able to rule on them. And the Republicans only need 50 votes to put a 10th justice on the USSC.

They’ll go after her religious affiliation, too.

Republicans need to start impeachment proceedings against ginsburg, and get her replaced with ACB.

Democrats have already said they are going to impeach Kavanaugh, so we might as well stack the bench while we can.

I love Amy but, we have enough Catholics on the bench. How about a born again Christian.

Meh..that has no leverage. I’m talking allegations that make her seem like a crook or shady.

I think Buzzy’s got enough spite left in her to try to push through until Trump’s second term is up.

She looked heaven bound last week.

No she is Catholic and most likely Jesuit like Kavanaugh. How about a Protestant?

How about we not have religious tests.

I am interested in her judicial conservatism, not whether or not she kneels during mass.

she’s been dying of the same heart attack for ten years. If she doesn’t die, she will retire in 2020 to make it an election issue.

An all Catholic SC is not a good idea. Have you looked into the Jesuits?

“I don’t know about that.. her most recent interview was pretty rough. She speaks very slowly and has to pause often. She sounds to me like she’s fading fast.”

I agree with your assessment. She looks all of about 70 frail and fading pounds.

We will see the true meaning of the words ‘meltdown’ and ‘mayhem’ and the resulting liberal splodey-heads, if and when notorious RBG passes. Particularly if Trump is the one naming her replacement.

Oh what a glorious circumstance!

For her replacement, I would look for a constitutionalist to the right of both Bork and Scalia, just to make the specter compete.

Actually we have Trump and Pence as Born Again Christians.
