I don’t personally wish her ill. My family history is riddled with cancer, and my wife had a scare two years ago (she is okay now with less than 2% chance of getting the same cancer). BUT, this bird is a disgrace to the Court and she obviously thinks she is SO important that she is going to die in her chair at the court. Hell .. 3/4 of the time during oral arguments, she LOOKS like she has died in her chair!

Time to GO, Ruth Buzzi!

Sad. Please retire Ruth. For the good of the nation.

The deepstate will do whatever is required to keep Trump from getting another court pick this term. They will do the weekend at Bernie’s if they have to.

Isn’t there a senate rule that no hearing held on Supreme Court Justice on election year ?

NO.

I think it would be hilarious if she came out and refused to die before President Trump left office. Then promptly, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer dropped dead, showing that death has a sense of humor.

I have no idea what you are talking about when you mention 4 months. He can nominate a replacement as soon as he wants to if she dies. After that, it is up to the Senate to have hearings and confirmation. I have no doubt that if she dies and he nominates a Conservative that we will see the biggest Popcorn contest that we have ever witnessed. Stay Tuned!

Deep State is scouring the land for a look-alike as we speak. Time to cover until Trump is gone.

“And she could have two or three years left in her”

No chance. My speculation is this tumor relates to metastasized cancer from the previously treated lung cancer.

That combined with the extremely poor prognosis concerning pancreatic cancer and her advanced age all add up to a relatively short time left for her on this earth.

She likely has 6 months as an absolute best possible scenario, odds on less.

I lost my dad in October last year. He was diagnosed in June with pancreatic. He was 84 years old, in otherwise excellent health, and the first round of chemo just about killed him in August. At that age and later, the body has a VERY difficult time bouncing back. She obviously survived her first bout with pancreatic years ago but at her advanced age and succession of other cancers since, I would be surprised if she makes it to Christmas.

Aside from loathing her politics, I don't wish her ill but she should have the decency to at least resign!

In the local used bookstore, there are “Notorious RBG” posters and stuffed dolls of herself.

Right beside that display is one featuring all things Cthulhu.

McConnell could recess the Senate and let Trump place a nominee on the court as a recess appointment.

That would likely happen, and then they can formally nominate that person at their leisure.

If you think Romney, not to mention the other Rinos and NeverTrumpers, will vote in Trump’s favor in this, I have a bridge to sell you. He could nominate the LORD Himself, and they would fight it. Having said that, I put my trust in the Lord, and pray He will bring His will to pass.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg today completed a three-week course of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. The focused radiation treatment began on August 5 and was administered on an outpatient basis to treat a tumor on her pancreas. The abnormality was first detected after a routine blood test in early July, and a biopsy performed on July 31 at Sloan Kettering confirmed a localized malignant tumor. As part of her treatment, a bile duct stent was placed.

The Justice tolerated treatment well. She canceled her annual summer visit to Santa Fe, but has otherwise maintained an active schedule. The tumor was treated definitively and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Justice Ginsburg will continue to have periodic blood tests and scans. No further treatment is needed at this time.

Are they trying to remove the RBG from the cancer?
