Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg undergoes more cancer treatment

HEADLINE ONLY!

[mrsixpack36]

Got to hand it to her. She has beat what.. 4 bouts of cancer and heart surgery? . Guess she wil live forever..

[Concentrate]

A friend of mine only made it 4 months from diagnoses to death.

Very sorry to hear that. Did you friend go through chemotherapy?

[lgjhn23]

“...Again?? Idiot lazy ass Grim Reaper...”
Yeah. He’s kinda like Lucy and the football with this old bird. Remember, he works for Satan and Ruthie is one Satan’s favorite “judges”.
When the time’s right, he’ll violently snatch that old hag’s soul so fast it will make ya head swim....he’s just itching to do this one.

[Jim W N]

I’m asking the Father to draw her to Jesus as Jesus himself said, “No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him” (John 6:44).

Problem is we used the “ Biden Rule” to do that. In context, the “Biden Rule” had ZERO to do with the fact Obama was a lame duck and everything to do with the fact it was a presidential election year. Biden “proposed” the rule during Bush 41s first term - during his re-election year (1992). He was no lame duck.

It would be hypocrisy at its finest. But-if it means replacing RBG-let it happen. Although the left will surely not take it sitting down (riots) and one day they will use it on us for sure ( pay back).

“....Got to hand it to her. She has beat what.. 4 bouts of cancer and heart surgery? . Guess she wil live forever.....”

Keep in mind, she’s getting the verrrrrry best medical care in the entire world. Medical care that only our elite overlords are allowed to have and is completely unavailable to the “unwashed masses”. If she’d been on odongoCare, she’d been dead ages ago.

[StAnDeliver]

Same. This was a flag up to the MSM to “get the obit updated” aka the slobbering “NOtorious RBG” hagiographies.

The best part of all this , is Trump can finally nominate Amy Coney Barrett.

[chris37]

I don’t know, one might be able to argue that GWB was a lame duck as soon as he got elected.

But yes, the situations were not precisely identical.

And as far as hypocrisy goes, since the Democrats are naked hypocrites on every, single thing, and no one ever calls them on it, they can choke to death on any hypocrisy originating from our side.

[StAnDeliver]

It’s a good point but with Amy Barrett they’d have to explainz why they are glass ceiling a fellow woman. Bad optic. And Trump can say — and mean it — you vote her down I’m sending her right back.

[chiller]

That would mean no hearings, which would probably not fly, except that the likely nomination is the Catholic judge who's recently been through hearings.....the one to which Feinstein said " the dogma certainly lives within you." Was it Barrett ?---strongly pro-life

Kavanaugh will look like play-time compared to the next. Trump should not necessarily, but probably will replace a lady with a lady.

[Political Junkie Too]

An interesting thing about these so-called rules is that they are made by Democrats to hamstring Republicans.

An adept Republican (if there is such a thing) can play the hypocrisy both ways: 1) the Biden way was to declare that the people should decide the next SCOTUS nominee through the ballot box, and 2) the hypocritical spin would be to say that the President doesn't give up his Constitutional powers in an election year, and if the voters don't like his choice they can vote him and his party out of office afterwards.

The Democrats have been masters at after-the-fact apologies, such as giving back tainted campaign donations after the money was used to win the race. It's time for Republicans to show the same hubris by discarding Democrat so-called rules, get their justice appointed, and then tell the voters to approve or disapprove once it can't be undone.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Let’s pray that He draws everybody to Jesus, so no one gets left out.

[rdl6989]

Kavanaugh will look like play-time compared to the next. The left will go full scale nuclear war. I think this is coming VERY soon.

[Political Junkie Too]

with Amy Barrett they’d have to explain why they are glass ceiling a fellow woman.

That would include Senate Judiciary Committee members Klobuchar and Harris, both running for President, Hirono (who hates men), and Feinstein, who said that all women should be believed.

[Tonytitan]

But I also hope she resigns soon.

And after that, regains full and complete cancer-free health.

[Jim W N]

If that is a Holy-Spirit-lead prayer, then pray it.

It’s not always everybody’s time and not everyone will be saved.

Does “localized tumor on her pancreas” equal a primary pancreatic tumor? Other origin cancers spread to her pancreas might be a less bad option. In which case the most common type would be adenocarcinoma, a notoriously quickly bad actor although I gather there have been some recent treatment that offer some hope. Less common pancreatic tumor types may offer a longer prognosis, cf. Steve Jobs, but if she has the common one she could go quickly in spite of this radiation therapy and in spite of being notoriously a tough person. As for the “no evidence of remaining cancer” spiel we’ve heard that before in her case. This news trumps the earlier round of reassurances. Lack of evidence of remaining cancer doesn’t equal evidence of its lack.

One of my sisters had pancreatic cancer. She lived about 3 years after diagnosis. She just made it past her 50th birthday. Doctors told her on numerous occasions that the cancer was in remission only to pop up somewhere else in her body. She suffered terribly with that insidious disease. I don't know if Justice Ginsburg has pancreatic cancer or another type that developed on her pancreas. It was tough for my sister and our whole family to watch. I wouldn't wish that end on anyone.

From WSJ...

WASHINGTON—Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday completed a three-week course of radiation for a malignant tumor on her pancreas, which was “treated definitively,” the Supreme Court said in a statement.

The court said that there was “no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body,” and that Justice Ginsburg, 86 years old, “tolerated treatment well.”

I find the wording odd. Seems very guarded to me. Pancreatic cancer is tough. When looking at definition, you can see that there is more than what is being reported (potentially). Here’s what I found:

definitive treatment
The treatment plan for a disease or disorder that has been chosen as the best one for a patient after all other choices have been considered.(National Cancer Institute)

My memory from the Kavanaugh hearings and others, is that a vote in the Judiciary Committee is not required.

The Judiciary Committee considered forwarding Kavanaugh's nomination without a vote or recommendation because they did not at the time have the votes to recommend confirmation. But Graham is saying he will not entertain hearings at all, like Grassley did with Merrick Garland in 2016. There is no way a nominee is confirmed without hearings with the current Senate. If we had a solid majority even without any RINOs, sure.

But McConnell has been extremely effective in pushing Judicial Nominees through, so I think with Lidsey Graham facing a tough reelection campaign in 2020, he would almost certainly lose his seat if he blocked a Trump Supreme Court appointment.

Pancreatic cancer does not typically metastasize, although it can attack the liver by direct invasion.
