Amy Coney Barrett

In light of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s history of cancers and most recently, a surgery to have cancerous tumors removed from her lungs as well as her absence from the bench, Dr. Joseph Bentivegna writes Bader, 85, is quite ill.
Dr. Bentivegna, M.D. says the media who have commented on Ginsburg’s health are “underestimating the severity of her illness,” and that “President Trump has a reasonable chance” of replacing Ginsburg in his first term.
If Trump wins reelection, the doctor believes Trump has at least an 80% chance of replacing Ginsburg — we believe that chance is much much higher.
The doctor laid out Ginsburg’s history of illness in his blog post, but points out the most significant thing is the justice’s recent surgery on her lungs to remove tumors.
1. She had non-metastatic colon cancer removed in 1999
2. She had non-metastatic pancreatic cancer removed in 2010.
3. She had a stent placed in her coronary arteries in 2014
4. She fell in November of 2018 and broke three ribs.
5. She had surgery in December of 2018 and had two malignant nodules removed from her lungs.
6. Scans found no other cancer in her body.
7. She is 85 years old and has no history of being a smoker.
According to Dr. Bentivegna, the key here is what type of cancer Ginsburg had on her lungs. It has already been determined that the tumors removed were malignant, however, there is one more layer to this.
The doctor points out that we still don’t know what type of cancer Ginsburg has:

The tip-off to me was the spokesperson saying “no further treatment is needed”. Anyone you know with this amount of ailments sent home after major surgery with “no additional treatment”? Likely they can no longer treat her.

I’ll second that.
Oh, and not guilty.

Goes to show that the right is just as craven and hypocritical and amoral as the left...
Very nice and willing upgrade.
Not so trivial trivia: 85 verses in the Book of Ruth.
Hmmm...
Having dealt with and lost both parents to the ravages of the diseases of old age, including multiple cancers — and now facing my own mortality — I don’t wish RBG any ill will. I do wish she would step down now, allow her family & health care providers to look after her, and get right with the Creator.
I saw a report earlier in the week that the White House was going over it’s list of Supreme Court potential nominations.
I know the President came in with a list but they may be contacting some to see if they are prepared for the nomination process. It is not likely to get any easier.
To take out the entire #MeToo element, push forward a female judge. You’ll just see a lot of clenched teeth.
with the fall and now the cancer, I’ve had the feeling that she is in poorer health than is being advertised. And the Dimocrapts are willing to believe.
They’re likely lying about here and I think it’s because trying to keep Trump from getting prepared to replace her, even if they only succeed in delaying her replacement by a few days or a week - they would still do it.
However, I’m sure Trump is working it, full speed.
Why would he do that he has the votes in the Senate to confirm a new justice.
Yep, you are correct they have already said he is.

Amen.
Trump has been in office for 2 years. Trump knows the extent of RGB’s condition. That is not a secret.
Good smile.
Yes, exactly. Media Lies. Constantly.
