Praying here too, that she comes to accept Christ.

Someone her age?

This won’t end well for her.

...

Rib injuries can lead to pneumonia.

I hope she makes a full, quick recovery with the least amount of pain, then retires.

RBG can text in her opinions, as did John McCain. NBD.

The question is, when will she be able to return to work. She can’t vote on cases where she missed the hearing.

At her age, injuries like that have cascading effects.

Is that life threatening for someone in her condition and age?

Thank You. My comment was more about “lose” than what Antony actually said.

All kidding aside, I hope she is ok. Bone fractures at her age are serious stuff and frequently lead to one’s demise. Fortunately she’ll be able to sleep a lot while she’s on the mend.

It is time for President Trump to dust off “the list.”

We had a 90 family member about RBG’s age and size injured in an MVA. She broke more than RBG. Auntie recovered from the accident and lived another 13 years.

RBG had been keeping herself healthy with yoga exercises. This injury will likely make it hard for her to exercise, which will lead to other issues.

BlueLancer wasn’t wishing suffering on her at all. Besides, that flamingo pic is hilarious. Don’t overreact.

The court term runs from October to June. At a minimum I don’t expect her to be on the bench much at all in the coming months.

I believe it will be Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
She was confirmed by the Senate to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in October.
The vote was 55-43.

Isn’t it funny that people frequently use “loose” when they meant “lose,” but it’s rarely the other way around (as in #5)? This may be the first time I’ve seen “lose” erroneously used instead of “loose.”
