Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, underwent a lung procedure on Friday, the Supreme Court said in a release. She is "resting comfortably" at the hospital.

Justice Ginsburg is very ill. Another Justice appointment inevitable and soon. Bad news for the left.

She's already wearing a toe tag.

Her Lefty-Commie law clerks had to order a pallet of Extra-Strength Febreze to "freshen" her chambers...

[kiryandil]

A stray dog would be ashamed to leave a deposit like her on the sidewalk.

Corpseburg has NO honor. She's destroying the ragged credibility of the Federal courts.

[pacificus]

I love this RBG, she’s just giving us the blue print to keep a conservative justice seated FOREVER!

Keep going RBG....

The more she pushes herself the more likely Trump will choose her replacement.

Seems like she wants to die in that chair.

[haircutter]

JUST WONDERING.....

will RGB lay in the Capital ??? when she is gone???

[Candor7]

PDJT gets another swing at the SCOTUS pinata?

SO MUCH WINNING!

All the best to Buzzy though. She needs rest and whatever retirement time she has left.

The Dims are probably counting on RBG holding out for one more year. Then, if she passes they’ll shout from the rooftops about the “Garland rule”, where the Senate shouldn’t confirm a nominee during an election year.

Holding both the Presidency and Senate majority, PDJT and Mitch should tell them to pound sand. R’s gained seats in the ‘18 midterms, and elections have consequences.

[kiryandil]

Good analogy. Democrats and liberals will keep her in office until she can be replaced by another liberal judge.

By their actions in this matter, the law clerks of Bader Corpseburg are calling Justice John Roberts a liar.

John Roberts, November 2018: "We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges."

Do us all a favor and shut your lying blackmailed piehole, Roberts.

Clown.

[Flaming Conservative]

I pray your treatment is 100% successful.

[USS Alaska]

There are now at least 4, maybe more threads announcing the news that RBG has survived a lung cancer operation.

I have no opinion on her recent operation, I just hope the next one comes quickly and fails.

Merry Christmas Ernestine.

“Then, if she passes they’ll shout from the rooftops about the “Garland rule””

They can shout all they want. The rule only applies if the opposition party controls the Senate.

[Notthemomma]

Lets hope she doesn’t have any of the myriad of possible complications of a hospitalization or surgical/biopsy procedure: healthcare associated pneumonia, post-operative infection or pneumonia, aspiration of gastric contents, pulmonary thromboembolism, allergic reaction to anesthesia, stroke, heart attack, etc. At her age and with her overall health, even though she appears tough and determined, things could rapidly go bad.

Ruth Vader Ginsburg?

[caww]

Sounds like lung cancer....hardest to successfully treat ...the fact nothing more than surgery says either her body can't handle or and she's on the opposite side of full recovery.

[caww]

You can bet the other Supremes are covering any of her frailties to serve.

[Jane Long]

Amen!

Sounds like they got it all and she can retire and enjoy this latest blessing.

[marajade]

They just said she will not get further treatment. No radiation or chemo?

[piasa]

O’Reilly underestimates what a good taxidermist can do when joined by an animatronics specialist.

[Jane Long]

Normal and standard “follow up”, if they got it all.

Sounds like they did.

[Tunehead54]

Agreed.
