Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch for deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's long-empty seat. On Wednesday morning, liberals woke up, did the math and realized it was time to be concerned about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's fiber intake. Also bone density. Also exposure to airborne viruses (Madame Justice, what is your flu shot status?), and salmonella, and slippery ice, and also: Has anyone heard how scientists are coming along with a Zika vaccine? "I'm very interested in this." says Jeanette Bavwidinski, a community organizer in Pennsylvania. "I'm interested in what her daily regimen is. Like, what are you all feeding RBG? Is she getting enough fresh air? Is she walking? Is she staying low-stress? What is she reading? Is she reading low-stress things?" "Can she eat more kale?" asks Kim Landsbergen, a forest ecologist in Ohio. "Eat more kale, that's all I can say. We love you. Eat more kale.

yes, that’s Norm’s mama.
The obvious reason Ginsberg didn’t retire during Obama’s tenure is that she didn’t trust Obama’s selection ability.
I suspect she has insider knowledge that proves to her that he is an anti-Semite.
IIRC she threatened to move to New Zealand if Trump won.
NZ will accept you as permanent resident if you are a senior with $10.5 Million to bring with and can speak ENglish. RBG can qualify on that basis. I would encourage her to go to NZ.
I played with too many frogs in my childhood years, and snails are oh so slimy and repulsive to me. I can stay away until we run out of shrimp, mutton and Bombay Ducks (eel like fish).
I have no knowledge whatsoever about Thomas’s health, but obesity (statistically) shortens the life expectancy of black men very significantly.
Excellent point! Also my guess is she believed all the polls and was certain madam president would find another RBG clone.
This is hysterical!
OK I believe you, depending who makes the soup. Since Kale is a sea weed (?) and we are land mammals, our constitution may not be in sync with kale. Anyways next time I see it on menu in a good restaurant, I will try it.
Yeah, obesity is statistically known to cause high blood pressure in African-American men.
There is no better thing than regular mild exercise for any septuagenarians, such as myself, to stay healthy and out of doctor’s office.
I also found I can control my border line type II diabetes by limiting my food intake during a 8-9 hour span every day.

Exactly. I think she bet on Hillary, but I think she would rather a republican selection than an anti-semitic one.
I doubt that last part is a requirement. When they wake her up to vote, she just has to remember to ask how Thomas voted and then do the opposite.
What is kale?
What is kale?
It's some sort of strange green leaf they eat in Leftcuckistan, apparently. I'm guessing that this "kale" must be more affordable than arugula since all the food desert denizens are advocating it.
I predict Ginsberg will die on the bench...now she will never retire
One of the funniest stories this week. LOL!
Says the snowflake, demonstrating her profound ignorance of the job of Justice of the Supreme Court.
November, 2016: Ruth Bader Ginsburg acknowledges Trump will fill Supreme Court vacancy
The current circumstance of a POTUS who got elected on the basis that he would nominate a SCOTUS justice from a defined list is unique.Having now nominated a justice according to his campaign promise, the president has a serious claim that the country is behind his choice.
I have long thought that that is exactly how SCOTUS justices should be selected. Every presidential election, each presidential candidate should publish a Trump list of candidates from which his/her SCOTUS choices will be made. After the election, the winner gets to name two justices from his/her list. These justices would not be subject to Senate confirmation but would be sworn onto the court directly, and they would serve for the fixed term of 22 years.
The court would have an eleven-jurist bench. Each two-term POTUS would thus leave a legacy of four SCOTUS justices, out of eleven total.
To transition to the fixed-term-justice system, new SCOTUS members would be latent if not enough life justices had died or retired yet to make room for the newcomers. Latent SCOTUS members would become actual SCOTUS members on a seniority basis, and their 22 year term would then begin. Latent members would automatically be installed on an appeals court, but could step up to temporary active SCOTUS status as needed to maintain eleven voting justices whenever a justice recused him/her self from a case. A sitting justice with life tenure could recuse for personal reasons if willing to see the latent replacement fill his/her seat temporarily, but any service in temporary capacity would count against the 22 year term of said justice.
IMHO that would be a far more predictable, less chaotic way of maintaining the institution of SCOTUS than what we have now. If it were already enshrined in the Constitution, would there be the slightest inclination to reform it toward the system we have now? I doubt it. As matters now stand, a politically unified government without a senate filibuster might at any time pack SCOTUS by increasing its size (not now constitutionally stipulated).
