I wonder if she sleeps with a pillow over her face? Hmmm.

“Here, in all its quasi-glory, is the main reason many conservatives cut him so much slack. They want a conservative judiciary. They want to fill the Ginsburg seat. This helps counteract the distinct possibility Trump could be wearing out his public welcome.”

...and that is based on? You could say the same about Obama - in that liberals wanted him to stay another 4 years in the White House to follow through on Obamacare, even though they were otherwise tiring of him...not true in either case, but only posited for Trump. Interesting.

The writer of this article proves that he knows no more than we do about RGB’s physical condition. He begins the article with a bit about her that has already been made public, and then he shifts to bashing Trump about the possible opportunity to replace her.

Better still, from the standpoint of rolling up crucial centrist votes, would be a widely shared sense of economic well-being, such as we thought we were enjoying prior to last week's Twitter storm, in all its peevish incoherence

Is Commie Liz Warren better equipped to capture centrist votes? I don't think so when Trump reveals her radical stance on everything.

“It helps, like his refugee policies, to keep conservatives and many much-desired moderates happy, if nervous.”

The only thing people here are ‘nervous’ about is Trump losing, or Republicans in Congress again pulling the rug out from under him.

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's apparently successful treatment for a malignant tumor on the pancreas."

I guess they are trying to imply that she was “cured”. Pancreatic cancer rates are some of the worst; friends that I have known who got it were all dead in months. But I guess it is worse for young healthy people than tough old leftist birds. Unless the deep state has installed a look-alike, she is not likely to be able to hold on to her seat much longer. Then we will be seeing hysteria comparable to the Chinese biking LA.

I doubt that “Our Country” can be saved no matter which way it goes.

I have my doubts too. I was taught history; taught by people who actually remembered when America's affliction was only a rash here and there, not the fullblown leprosy it suffers now.

It's going to take a miracle. Does the Lord want to work a miracle on a nation in which half the people aren't even sorry about killing sixty million babies, and the other half are only sorry? Put up with it, with all the left does, indeed enable it with your tax dollars, and you own it.

Hope I'm wrong and the grace of God can cross the barrier that has grown over our hides.

A curious phrase struck me when I first heard it and at the time it seemed to me it was directed at libtards. “When you kill a killer the number of killers remains the same.” What utter tripe. I won’t claim to know the mind of God outside what He has shared with me in reflection upon reading His word but I expect from my understanding is sort of like this, “If evil flourishes when good men do nothing (Bonhoeffer) then God must rejoice when good men do what has to be done.”

“The Notorious RBG’s retirement from the Supreme Court, due to age and health, would allow Trump this year — next year — to strengthen a tenuous conservative majority on the court, made possible by the 2016 election, and possibly the next one up.”

If RBG were to die while still a sitting justice, that alone would make the Court more conservative without having to get a replacement confirmed. That is an enormous difference from the situation with the late Justice Scalia, whose loss left us down a conservative pending replacement. (Lately, justices have been retiring effective upon the confirmation of their successor; that ploy would the Left a bit more leverage; however, the Left appears determined for her to remain on the Court until the point of death, a strategy that could backfire.)

Ever wonder if Google autocorrect isn’t screwing with you on purpose? Proof read everything as much as you can. You may start to see a pattern.

RBG is not forced to do anything by anyone, particularly at her age and state of health. She is doing what she wants to do...hanging on to her position whether or not she is capable of doing the job. Lots of DC swamp critters do the same thing.

As in so many things there is a clue in here that the “journalists” are failing to share. “Plastic stent”. Placed when survival is months. As in “a couple...”. Metal stents are used for longer predicted survivals.

Very sorry to hear about your brother.

In the Ginsburg situation the statement “no further treatment” may mean that further treatment is probably futile and is not indicated. It doesnt necessarily mean that the illness is cured.

Thank you. I miss him every single day.

I think she’s beyond running.

No official statements claimed a cure. But they worded things slyly so the media could run with what they have.

The media will pretend she is alive until 2024. Her clerks will continue to announce her rulings which will always be the opposite of what the constitution sais
