Should Ginsburg Retire?

[nat4900]

More importantly, there should be testing for mental fitness.

For example, Thomas is completely senile now that he can't sit on Scalia's lap any longer.

they should have 10 year terms and then you are gone...and whoever is president when one leaves gets to pick the replacement.....

So....you working on that Constitutional Amendment, are you?

 

[Pilot1]

Take your right wing stupidity and go light a cross on your neighbors' yards.

How did what I say equate to racism in your confused mind, or is that all you Libs have? Cries of racism. It doesn't even make sense.

Oh, you're GAY, right? That explains a lot.

Garland would have approved.....lol

Ginsburg misses Supreme Court arguments for the 1st time

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is missing arguments for the first time in more than 25 years as she recuperates from cancer surgery last month, the Supreme Court said.

Ginsburg was not on the bench as the court met Monday to hear arguments. It was not clear when she would return to the court, which will hear more cases on Tuesday and Wednesday, and again next week.

Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said the 85-year-old justice is continuing to recuperate and work from home after doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung on Dec. 21.

Ginsburg had two earlier cancer surgeries in 1999 and 2009 that did not cause her to miss court sessions. She also has broken ribs on at least two occasions.

Her latest surgery was a procedure called a pulmonary lobectomy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The court said in a release issued the day of the surgery that doctors found “no evidence of any remaining disease” and scans taken before the surgery showed no cancerous growths elsewhere in her body. No additional treatment is currently planned, the court said."

Ginsburg rebuffed suggestions from some liberals that she should step down in the first two years of President Barack Obama’s second term, when Democrats controlled the Senate and would have been likely to confirm her successor.

She already has hired clerks for the term that extends into 2020, indicating she has no plans to retire.

If she did step down, President Donald Trump would have another opportunity to move a conservative court even more to the right. On the day she had surgery, Trump tweeted his wishes for Ginsburg’s “full and speedy recovery!”


Democrats continue to hold their breath and keep their fingers crossed in hopes Ginsburg can make it through until 2020 and that the Democrats win the WH...




Ginsburg misses Supreme Court arguments for the 1st time

.

The woman takes a sick day ONE TIME after 25 years on the job, and suddenly she's no longer fit for her job.

One sick day.

After 25 years on the job.

And really, it's not much of a sick day because she's effectively telecommuting.

This going to be your reaction when Kavvy stays home with a hangover from drinking too many beers?

Umm, triggered emotional snowflake, calm down....

Ginsburg is 85 years old and has been fighting Cancer since 1999. Every time she goes into the hospital snowflakes like you gasp, break out your rosary beads, drop to your knees, pray she can hold out until a Democrat wins the WH again, and when the news reports she is fine you jump back to your feet and attack anyone who actually voices the fears that were in your head, like you're doing now.

Give the drama a rest.

Right...

Give the drama a rest.

they should have 10 year terms and then you are gone...and whoever is president when one leaves gets to pick the replacement.....

I think 10 is too short, but I would like to see a term limit for them.

A mandatory retirement age would work. Say 75 or 80? My daughter loves RBG so I don't want to root against her...

some of the people running the show are getting pretty obsolete.....

Just googled the PA retirement ages:
"Justices must step down from the Supreme Court when they reach the age of 75, but they may continue to serve part-time as "senior justices" on panels of the Commonwealth's lower appellate courts until they reach 78, the age of mandatory retirement."

 

[easyt65]

Right...Give the drama a rest.

I know you are sued to parroting Democratic Talking points, but you don't have to parrot what I say.

 

[Harry Dresden]

they should have 10 year terms and then you are gone...and whoever is president when one leaves gets to pick the replacement.....

You should read the Federalist Papers.

i dont care if its the trump papers.....there comes a certain age when its time to hang it up....especially when its a job that affects us all....

For example, Thomas is completely senile now that he can't sit on Scalia's lap any longer.

I hope Thomas retires and Trump can name a young justice...

 

[Harry Dresden]

they should have 10 year terms and then you are gone...and whoever is president when one leaves gets to pick the replacement.....

I know some states, like Pennsylvania, have a mandatory retirement age for their Supreme Court.

More importantly, there should be testing for mental fitness.

And if they had that for presidential candidates --- which they should have --- we wouldn't be subjected to the idiot currently in office.

they should give that test to congress too.....there would be more than just trump failing that test......

 

[Harry Dresden]

they should have 10 year terms and then you are gone...and whoever is president when one leaves gets to pick the replacement.....

So....you working on that Constitutional Amendment, are you?

yea they are voting on it next week.....

Fructose is the only known substance that will speed up the metabolism of alcohol. Give it a try and come back when you can make sense.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg misses supreme court arguments for first time in 25 years

More shaudefreuda from the Christians, such a loving bunch of folks.

Now it’s bad for people to retire in Leftardia?

 

[DGS49]

This display of hers is pathetic, vindictive, petty, and egotistical. Just like last year when McCain did the same thing.

75 should be tops for every job. Period. It shouldn't be necessary to throw the bastard out by proving they are unfit.

Of course, where would that leave the House and Senate?

 

[Ambivalent1]

This woman was NEVER fit to sit on the Court.

I'm pretty sure Schumer's wife wears the gonads in his family. Isn't it a bit odd how Nancy does all of the talking?
