"Kavanaugh appears to not be what we thought he was during his confirmation hearings."

That is a typical occurrence in nominations.

Roberts is not the conservative, either, that was expected.

In fact, talking about Ginsberg: I remember when she was asked about her standing on abortion during her nomination hearings and she refused to answer.

I think if what we are counting on happens, e.g. Ginsburg gone and another conservative confirmed, the chemistry of the SCOTUS will shift. It will not be the "all conservative" establishment as we were expecting.

I think the status of her cancer was not completely disclosed.

"Justice Ginsburg has a history of other cancers, “The justice had colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009.” Odds favor that her lung nodules represent metastases from her other cancers rather than a third new cancer originating in her lungs."

With metastases, chances for survival are low.

Saw that...wondering if this is just wishful thinking...she is not the type to give up...unless something else is going on...maybe we will get some clues from Q.

Is it happening?

The Constitution does not say a Supreme can't retire. They just didn't get the word!

The new twilight zone...

Can NOT stop laughing at this!!!

Think weekend at Bernie’s.

Q says the senate was the target 53- 47 . With the Mitt faced Romney now may be 52-48. Good bye Flake good bye Corker of the RINO class. That senate vote approves RBG ‘s soon to be replacement.

With the Kavanaugh circus behind us, the Democrats have pretty much guaranteed that Trump will nominate Amy Barrett to avoid this "high school groping" nonsense.

They will not be happy.

I would like to see her have more appellate decisions, but nominating a woman would be good theater too!

I think that your prediction is spot on. Whether the wimpy Republicans fall for it, remains to be seen. What Conservative candidates would want to put themselves through the conformation hearings. Well, I hope that someone will.

Just watch. When Ginsberg dies, some libs will demand Trump should appoint a lib to replace her "because that would be only fair."
Me dino vaguely recalls this happening before with a different conservative president in the past.
The lib appointment did not happen.
Then again.,I could be wrong about the idiotic request.
Think I'll stand by my prediction, though.

As far as Ruth Bader Ginsberg is concerned, you have hit on an exposed, quivering nerve of mine.
She has said that she plans to work on SCOTUS for 5 more years.
If she does retire, it certainly will be interesting.
As I wrote, if we think that the Kavanaugh confirmation was a crap storm, “we ain’t seen nuthin yet”.
The Demonrats will view the upcoming fight as existential. A 5 to 3 vote in the Scotus (sometimes plus Roberts) will stop legislation from the bench…..which the Demonrats count on to implement their agenda.

As you may have guessed, I am not a Ruth Bader Ginsberg advocate.
I think she is in early stages of senility……..maybe even early stages of dementia……. and therefore is very dangerous as a result.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg was nominated by the President Sexual Predator, Bill “Put Some Ice On It” Clinton, in 1993. She was close…but got no cigar.
She has been on the SCOTUS for 25 years.
She is 85 years old….85 freaking years old…..and is making decisions on constitutionality that affects us all.
If ever, there was a need to term limit Supreme Court Justices, Bader-Ginsberg would be the “poster child” for such limits.

She is a Harvard grad and got her JD from the ultra-liberal Columbia University.
She is pro-abortion, pro-gender (women’s) rights, advocates using foreign law and norms to shape U.S. law in judicial opinions, and pro-green.
She is the first Supreme Court Justice to officiate at a homosexual marriage.
Her commentary typically parrots Democrat agenda and talking points.
She consistently votes Democrat partisan and liberal in SCOTUS decisions.
She is perhaps the most liberal of the liberal 4….Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer, and Ginsberg.

When asked about Egypt’s drafting of a new constitution, she is on-record stating that they shouldn’t pattern their constitution after the U.S. Constitution because although the U.S. Constitution was written by very wise men, no women were able to participate directly in the process and….. slavery still existed in the U.S. She stated that Egypt should use the Constitution of South Africa as a model.

During interviews in 2016, she strongly criticized GOP nominee, Donald Trump, telling the NYT and AP that she didn’t want to think of a Trump presidency. She said she would consider moving to New Zealand if it happened…….but later walked back her comments as “ill advised”. (Too bad as I would have paid her one-way airfare.) It is probably safe to conclude that she is a Trump-hating lunatic..

Her health is suspect…..colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and heart disease (coronary artery stent).
She dozes off at a Obama SOU and the Pope’s address to Congress.

Actually, I’ll give her a pass on this as an Obama SOU would put me to sleep also.

It is long past the time for her to move out to pasture.
This woman needs to be put out to pasture. She is no longer capable of fulfilling her responsibility as an Associate Justice of SCOTUS. In fact, she hasn’t been sharp for several years.
It is time for her to retire…..and give us another conservative associate justice in the SCOTUS….particularly because, given his recent opinion on public funding of Planned Parenthood, Kavanaugh appears to not be what we thought he was during his confirmation hearings.

See what we missed by attending to our own happiness and prosperity........

Ah, but subversion is exactly how they play the game...they couldn't take the nation down any other way...

Dear gawd...

Personally, while I try not to wish anyone ill, I would love to see the progressive hack known as RBG replaced with a traditionalist on the Bench - someone who actually respects the Constitution for what it is and isn't constantly trying to re-write it to be something it is not. If you don't like the Constitution, you have two choices: try to drive a Constitutional Amendment, or become a citizen of another nation. Subversion isn't acceptable - especially from those at the highest pinnacle of the Justice system!

Sounds alot like that female Surgeon General we had, several years ago, who felt masturbation should be taught in public schools.

Part of the problem with the lifetime appointment of the SCOTUS justices is the tradition of letting them stay until they decide to quit. Chief Justice Rehnquist knew his condition was terminal, and that there was no risk to a dramatic shift in the court if he retired, but he stayed until he was found dead in his office. I suspect Ginsberg will be considered active even if unconscious and on life support.

Interesting measure of time...4 score and eight verdicts ago...Laughing

LOL!

Yes, it'll be an earthshaking event when she finally goes.

The left made a symbol of her. A destructive, mean symbol.

I can see it now,
“Time of death, eight verdicts ago.”

s with mc cain. its time for her to retire

https://www.thepubliceditor.com/dts-d...

They can keep her "alive" like the Russians did Stalin when he passed, by not disclosing it

It has been some time after that his death was announced.
