Old bag of bones trying to put her other foot in the grave. Think Kavanaugh was bad just wait.
Ginsburg Getting worse
- Thread starter SCSteeler4life
- Start date
Falling asleep during speeches, health issues, 85 years old. Does she really have all of her mental faculties at this point? One has to wonder.
I don't wish her ill, I just want her to retire. One has to admit, she can't have all of her mental capacity at 85. Where are all of the people crying that Trump was losing is mind?
Did you ever notice that when scrubs like is get Pancreatic cancer or colon cancer or lung cancer we tend to be doomed, or at least have long drawn out battles, but elitists like RBG and Carter all get magically cured quickly and simply...
Which further validates hamster's question if she is fit for office at this point. It's a valid question.
Didn't help John McCain. Or Steve Jobs.

Didn't help Kennedy much either. He died within a year of being diagnosed.
She's a liberal, what difference at does it really make?
Good point.

Fairly recently some billionaire came out saying that that difference in healthcare was what was the most surprising part of being super rich. He said most people have no idea that there is a completely other level of healthcare.
I believe it. Just like I believe that there is a different level of justice for the political elite, than for the middle American,taxpaying hoi polloi.

I wish she could retire and enjoy the rest of her life. Like I said before a vacancy created by her death would be a political firefight. This is not replacing a conservative with another conservative, it's replacing a liberal with a conservative, giving the conservatives a solid 6-3 majority for what looks to be a decade or more with that margin. ** Justices agree 75-80% of the time **
The fact that the Supreme Court is subject to political ideologies is a travesty. They should be interpreting the Constitution, and should be in agreement the vast majority of the time. However, more and more, feckless legislators are punting to the courts, and the courts have become a vehicle for legislation. Therein lies the problem. The left relies on the courts to implement more than the right does. Roe vs. Wade is a prime example.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, undergoes lung procedure to remove cancerous growth
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, underwent surgery Friday to remove two malignant nodules from her left lung, the Supreme Court said.
It said she was "resting comfortably" after the surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and there was no evidence of any remaining disease.
"Currently, no further treatment is planned," the court said in a statement.
Ginsburg, the eldest member of the court and the senior justice of its liberal wing, underwent a pulmonary lobectomy. Two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung were discovered incidentally during tests she received while being treated for rib fractures sustained in a fall last month. Both nodules were found to be malignant during an initial evaluation.

ANY surgery at age 85 is not minor. I wish no ill will on anyone. I hope she has a full recovery with no complications.
That said, I don't this she is physically fit to serve as a Supreme Court justice after this term.

Yeah... when Jimmy carter beat aggressive pancreatic cancer one of the talking heads on cnn was rambling on with one of the doctors about it and had the balls to say that what they did to President carter wasn’t available to the general public and even if it were it would be 150grand a treatment
Some friends of mine have passed from pancreatic cancer... it pisses me off every time I think about it...
I also think about when some of the developments in DNA research in the mid nineties had some medical goobers theorizing that one day we could extend lifespans to a thousand years and drastically slow down aging... but then they all agreed that such things would have to be limited to the “best people” to eliminate overpopulation...
Elitist ******** the lot of them

The deep state must not like Ted Kennedy...he went down hard with the cancers.
genetics is a tough subject ethically speaking. 1000 year lifespan is highly unlikely though. The heart is a muscle that works 24-7 even with perfect genes i can't picture it lasting 1000 years. Of course you could always put in a mechanical heart, but i cant imagine what a body would look like at 1000 years old. Also if people lived that long the population would be outrageous and there would be no natural selection taking place. Do we really want people creating super humans? Scientists could create geniuses / athletes / whatever, but where would that leave the unaltered people?
As for Ruth she will never step down now unless she is on her death bed. She is probably not fully mentally there, but there are a few in the house/ Senate who i feel should step down as well.
I really can't fathom the need for people to remain in politics past 70 years old, let alone 80. What's the point ?
nowadays it seems that senility is a prerequisite.

I guessing most wouldn't want an 85 year old performing surgery on them, so why is it OK to have an 85 year old justice or member of congress?
Justice Ginsburg will do a John McCain before ever considering stepping down for the good of the country, as well as themselves.

Particularly in the house, incumbents win most if the time because opponents cannot get the name recognition and its harder to raise money against someone already entrenched with the local power mongers...
Thus you have Pelosi types that know they realistically are never losing so they can afford to run far right or far left on extremist nonsense... its more likely that a congressional district is more uniform in opinion and culture than a whole state... they all know what their area wants to hear and they act on it all the time
