This is just as irrelevant and irresponsible as the diagnoses of psychologists who label President Trump as mentally ill without the benefit of a real examination.

Goes to show that the right is just as craven and hypocritical and amoral as the left...

“This is just as irrelevant and irresponsible as the diagnoses of psychologists who label President Trump as mentally ill without the benefit of a real examination.”


1. You are absolutely correct. No examination of the patient AND the records/tests, no valid diagnosis. While the doc here is undoubtedly better informed than a lay-person like me, a guess is still a guess, whether informed or not.

2. That said, he’s likely correct. Cancer hides itself very well, and Ginsburg has apparently reached the limit for chemo. So she’s likely to have it show up elsewhere.
She’s also extremely frail, and at nearly 86 her immune system is not as able to fight off opportunistic infections.

That all said, many people have been in similar circumstances and survived for many years.

Wayne Allen Roots comment had nothing to do with this article.

Sebastian Gorka also has one.

I wouldn’t say that. Making an educated guess based on her known medical history and the expected outcome for different forms of cancer, as in the current article, is reasonable. Rendering a biased and half-baked psychologic “diagnosis” based on analysis of speeches and TV appearances is not.

Apple and oranges. Mentally ill is quite different than physically ill. Most of us have had experience personally or know people who have gone through similar physical experiences as Ginsburg. It's simply an educated guess, considering her medical history, that chances are better than average her body is saying no even if she is saying yes. The human body can surprise us sometimes though and sometimes the will to live will keep someone going much longer than one would think. In fact it can defy nature at times.

While I don't care for Ginsberg due to her ideology and many rulings; I have to respect her tenacity. She is one tough bird.
