My uncle (a staunch Conservative) used to be Ruth’s caddy back in his younger days.
Although her views were not aligned with his, he spoke very highly of her and said she was a wonderful person.
One of the ways that I know that I am on the correct side of the political spectrum is when I can log on to FR and find other people here who also disagree with RGs viewpoints but are still able to wish her a quick recovery like anyone should to any 85 year old who falls.
I hope she takes this opprotunity to step down and enjoy the time she has left.
It is a moral conundrum.

Scalia valued her as a friend, and that’s admirable.
I wish her no ill, but I think it’s clear that retirement would benefit her.
