Drudge has the siren up.

Weekend at Bernie’s. I mean, Ruth’s.

[cuban leaf]

Imagine Trump getting to nominate another one. Simply too sweet.

Imagine Trump getting to nominate another one. Simply too sweet.

She's not dead yet.

[onedoug]

A long life. But, RETIRE.

[Political Junkie Too]

Ginsburg is going to literally shrivel up before our eyes before she gives up her seat on the bench.

Ruthie will not leave SCOTUS unless and until she is wearing a toe tag.

[HighSierra5]

Tee hee.

[Mariner]

She WILL NOT retire.

Her life’s goal now is to outlast Trump and the Republican Senate. And she has the hubris to believe she can.

Justice Ginsburg has cancerous growth removed from lung

"According to the thoracic surgeon, Valerie W. Rusch, MD, FACS, both nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant on initial pathology evaluation. Post-surgery, there was no evidence of any remaining disease. Scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Currently, no further treatment is planned"

I'm surprised there wouldn't be follow up Chemo but I'm not a doctor and slept at home last night but I do not recall ever seeing her smoking but I do note that the nodules were found to be malignant.

Prayers up.

She’s proved to be a tough old bird. When she actually assumes room temp is when I’ll get “excited”. I take no joy in getting excited about the death of most people (notice, I said “most” - there are exceptions), but she leaves no choice when she shows every indication of wanting to die as a member of SCOTUS rather than resigning.

[Reno89519]

Yes, may she RIP.

[Beowulf9]

For some reason I’m thinking of the Hekowi Indian, Crazy Cat, lol.

[lodi90]

I have a hard time imagining the Deep State allowing POTUS to replace Buzzy Ginsburg. They’ll insist he picks a Democrat or some such nonsense.

[Drew68]

[dhs12345]

Good analogy. Democrats and liberals will keep her in office until she can be replaced by another liberal judge. That would have to happen after 2020 which is two years from now. Can she survive that long? And the assumption is that Trump and the Senate Republicans will lose in 2020.

And all of the unruly yelling and screaming behavior during the Kavanaugh hearings was a threat that a lot worse will happen if the Republicans and Trump nominate a conservative to replace Ginsburg.

It will not be pretty and the leftists might even resort to violence and threats of impeachment of confirmed judges. They will try everything legal and even illegal.

[TheBigJ]

Looks like possible excuse for the traitor to bow out. She’s leaving regardless.
