Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s insistence on refusing to resign from her duties although she’s unable to perform them makes a mockery of the Supreme Court.

Whatever else she might have done in her life will be overshadowed by the ghoulish exercise she’s putting the country through of following her serious illness to determine the future of America’s third branch of government.

Since she’s seriously ill, she’s most likely on serious drugs, which will impair the judgment she’ll use when ruling on cases.

Which means that a bright law student in full possession of his or her faculties could render more astute opinions than those coming from RBG’s addled brain. Is this what the Supreme Court has come to?

You honestly think she has authored her own opinions in the last few years? LOL

Most Appellate Justices (federal and state) have their clerks (mostly law students or recent graduates) writing sections of their opinions, if not the entire opinion on occasion (for the less meaningful cases). This is nothing new. RGB likely hasn't contributed more than her signature in quite some time.
