RBG scare: David Axelrod warns Supreme Court vacancy fight could 'tear this country apart'
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug. 23, 2019 | Daniel Chaitin

That didn't take long.

A former Obama adviser set the stage for a potentially nasty confirmation fight in the Senate next year within an hour of the Supreme Court announcing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recently completed three weeks of radiation treatment after doctors found a localized cancerous tumor on her pancreas.

Ginsburg, who is 86, has battled various illnesses over the last 20 years. The Supreme Court said in a statement Friday that she “tolerated the treatment well" and concluded that there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body.

I hope Trump appoints the most conservative judge in the country then the Senate rams it through totally ignoring the democrat liars.

If after seventy years of leftist scum legislating from the USSC the democrats are going to "rip the country apart", I say bring it.

Only if the left acts like their normal behavior. The country elected a bigger GOP senate two years after Trump, so there is no reason it should tear anything apart. When Obama was president it didn’t get torn apart with his nominees because we accept the outcomes of elections.

-—— there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body-——

Interesting comment. Is there still evidence of pancreatic cancer?

Specifically, did the radiation treatment kill the cancer of the pancreas?

I thought I saw a report where the cancer was gone

Note the report doesn’t say her pancreas are free of cancer, just the cancer has not spread to the rest of her body. So, the question is how much radiation can she take before the cancer takes over. At her age operating is likely out of the question. Remember she had cancer in the pancreas before this latest bout.

She’s not dead yet and as long as she’s breathing she’s on the court.

‘’translation of the title: Democrats will tear the country apart.’

What was the Senate votes for the Justices appointed by Democrats.. 85-15 or 90-10. Repubs questioned and possibly held one press conference to voice concerns but otherwise gave the President their choice.

Democrats would never do that though.

The country’s already torn apart. Axelrod’s a bit late on that one.

And he had a lot to do with it.

Axelrod’s mother was a communist. He got one elected.

“Currently, no further treatment is planned”.

“Post-surgery, there was no evidence of any remaining disease.”

All information about her illnesses always say the same thing.

Published 12.21.18

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday underwent surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City, where doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung, according to a press release issued by the Supreme Court. “Two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung were discovered incidentally during tests performed at George Washington University Hospital to diagnose and treat rib fractures sustained in a fall on November 7,” the statement reads. “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.” The statement adds that Ginsburg will remain at the hospital for a few days and is now “resting comfortably.” “Currently, no further treatment is planned,” it says.

“Pancreatic cancer is one of the ugliest cancers there is. The “cure” rate is close to zero”

True if it gets to the liver. For most people symptoms do not appear until that has occurred. She could hang on for a while if they can confine it to the pancreas.

Despite all the happy talk by the leftist apologists, it seems clear that to say Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg has one foot in the grave and the other foot on a banana peel is being overly optimistic.
