Aka, her clerks will be deciding..writing drafts of opinions etc..
Retire already! Guaranteed this is what this farce, clown show hearings are about. Libs are freaked Trump will get another SC pick.

**With Sekulow vowing to bring the case to the Supreme Court, Trump’s next move could be a request for a temporary injunction blocking the subpoena at least while the high court determines whether to take up the case.

Based on geography, an emergency filing from Trump would go to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who could either act on the matter alone or refer to the full Supreme Court for consideration.

So, stomach bug Ginsburg will acting on this decision as well?

That’s all fine...even if Roberts goes to vote along the left side....it’s a four-four tie, so the court achieves nothing until January of 2021.

What would be curious is if you had RBG and a second left-member of the court who went into serious health issues or passing, and this GOP agreement about election years being a national problem.

The Dem line will be “you can’t appoint a SC nominee during an impeachment hearing.”

I'll take "What is a nail-studded baseball bat" for $1000, Alex.

“...I hope she gets saved and returns to the court a new creature!...”
Anything is possible with God, but in her case...highly unlikely. Lil’ Ruthie is the spawn of Satan, and the Grim Reaper has been dispatched to drag the vile, wretched demon back to from whence it came. It’s work is finished...time to go meet “daddy”.

I believe you hit on the truth! How can a Senate (led by all talk all the time Graham on Judiciary) vote on a Supreme Court Justice while dealing with an impeached President? Not one of the leaders would have the guts to carry on with normal business.

RGB wants sainthood. By holding out to the bitter end, she dies a martyr, sacrificing her life for the Left, to be honored as a saint for generations.

I would not be a bit surprised to learn that the rush to impeachment is based on both RBG’s medical condition and is to try to provide cover for Democrats in the Senate to block any Ginsberg Supreme Court replacement appointment.

Hear death and a set of contested Supreme Court appointment confirmation hearings would certainly be a circus that would derail Schiff from any camera time.

Impeachment would also allow Democrats to argue against any appointment until after the election both on a lame duck and a he is being impeached basis.

I suspect a linkage and that RBG is not long for this world.
