RBG is a tough old broad. A mere "stomach bug" is unlikely to keep her away from the Court. Recurrence of pancreatic cancer can result in similar symptoms.

RBG’s health, or rather lack of it, is yet another reason to impeach Trump by any means necessary...

Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to put a Stop to all this Expensive and Extraordinary care for people at the end of their life already?? Can’t she just take a pill?

It must be awfully hard for a Democrat lawyer god to realize that she can be sick and die.

When someone from the government tells you its a stomach bug, do you believe them?

Hmmm. Good point. Now, Congress exempted itself from Obamacare. I suspect our godly federal judges are also exempt.

A pancreatic cancer has metastasized into the very close by stomach. Thus, declaring her illness as a stomach bug is correct if free of realistic truth.

My analysis and I am not a doctor and did not play one on TV

A scotus Justice can not serve when under morphine or other such continuously administered pain killers.
