Supreme Court's future rides on Ginsburg's health
The Hill ^ | November 22, 2018

Posted on 11/23/2018 12:02:11 PM PST by SMGFan

Some offered to donate their ribs, others recommended cloaking her in bubble wrap.

The reactions following news that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had fractured three ribs in a fall at her office on Nov. 7 may have been made in jest, but some no doubt were rooted in real worry.

At 85, Ginsburg is the oldest member of the Supreme Court, and this month’s health scare left many wondering if she’ll really serve for five more years as promised.

But she’s not the only one in recovery mode. Washington is slowly recuperating from the bitter battle over Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Another vacancy on the bench would surely lead to an explosive fight with liberals trying in vain to prevent President Trump from turning the court into a conservative stronghold with a third nominee.

The repercussions of Trump appointees are why some on the left have criticized Ginsburg and 80-year-old Justice Stephen Breyer — another aging member of the court’s liberal wing — for not stepping down when former President Obama was in office.

Does anyone on either do anything but laugh at Justices Roberts criticism of Trump reference to Obama judges?

I think President Trump decided not to say LIBERAL judges.

And thank you again Justice Kennedy!

When there is another vacancy, I predict the CommieCrats will call in Antifa.

they need her in the court until November 2020 and they will aim to defeat Trump in the Electoral College.
The Court will be the issue in 2020 if Ginsburg & Breyer are still there plus the older Conservatives.

But can they agree on the best Democrat to win the primaries?

The title makes it sound like the Supreme Court’s existence depends on whether Ruthie Baby stays alive. Of course this is from The Hill, so they would be desperate to stuff her, and prop her up in her court seat, when she croaks, just so they could say she still a sitting Justice.

She bench presses the other justices for fun then has lunch with Michael Phelps.

Antifa, taken to the extreme, probably numbers 10,000 nation-wide. How many conservative deer hunters are there in a small state like Vermont or Montana, much less Texas or Florida?

Citizens had their eyes opened when Kavanaugh was accused of running rape parties - then watched as the democrat sluts admitted they were lying.

Antifa can hardly top that...

These Liberal/Marxists have such big egos that they actually think that they can transcend death! It’s not about ideology as much as it is about them, and they’ve managed to screw their Leftist buddies for maybe as much as 30 or 40 years by refusing to relinquish their seats so Obola could fill them. Trump will get to replace both Ginsberg and Breyer, maybe even in the next two years, but certainly in the next six. And I would not rule out the replacement of the Wise Latrina since she has Type 1 Diabetes that is already causing her health issues. Now, we should be hoping that the aging “conservatives” give Trump the ability to extend the lives of their seats with new blood as well, and then we can always hope that Roberts gets hit by a truck.
The SCOTUS is the key to keeping our country from the ravages of Socialism/Marxism! If done correctly, it’s transformation will be Donald Trump’s biggest gift to his country.

there is no 'why' to that -- but it shows how wrong CJ Roberts was when he claimed there were no "Obama judges".

If Trump had said Liberal judges would that be like “Democrat wars”

Replacing RBG would be wonderful, but Roberts’s adoption papers need to be unsealed or leaked.

Remember how Senate Candidate Obama managed to get his opponent’s sealed divorce records unsealed? If he could do it, it can be done.

This Bush-Crime-Family-appointed traitor needs to go. Hopefully, some CIA white hats will step up.

Remember they were overconfident that Hillary will win in 2016 so Ginsburg and Breyer would had been able to retire and replaced by Hillary’s nominees.
