Should Ginsburg Retire?

[WillPower]

Although she's a communist and a hateful old crone, anybody who can do what's required of a USSC associate justice at her age, has my respect. God willing I'll hit my 80's in 2027....no point in going much farther than that. My plan is to have just enough money to my name to put a tank of gas in a Ducati Monster I'll steal and drive through the Phoenix freeways at 90-100 mph. Either the cops or the road will end my last hurrah....HOOAH

How pedestrian. You could at least steal an Aprilia RSV4.

 

[skye]

I wish her well, and a recovery but.....

having said that ..why is the Left doing this to her?

 

[BlueGin]

Are you stupid?

She missed a day of work fro the first time in 25 years! I bet you have missed way more days of work than that in 25 years.

Exactly, and it took surgery for that to happen. At this point, there is no indication she can't return to work in the near future.

Surgery to remove lung cancer she didn’t know she had. The woman is 85 and is going to be going through cancer treatment. Think about what that does to a person.

 

[BlueGin]

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.

Uh...and Congress please.

 

[Preacher]

Wish she would die already! Roberts is NOT a strong conservative so we need another STRONG conservative vote on the court.

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...

I'm hearing Chuck Schumer will offer her his left lung....and his right gonad...

That's impossible. It is a well established fact that "Crying Chuckie" has no gonads, nor has he ever had any!

At that age there will not be any treatment. The treatment is worse than the disease.

 

[WEATHER53]

She’s a nice lady and pretty bad off and rigors of the SC is too much.

 

[Snouter]

Ginsburg is essentially a domestic terrorist by attacking our democracy.

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?

/——/ One sick day? What about when she fell and cracked 3 ribs? In 25 years she has never taken other sick days? You can’t prove that.

 

[Cellblock2429]

She needs to retire. She can not fulfill her obligations to the court. Why would she want to since she HATES the Constitution which she swore to enforce? I could see her moving to Venezuela, or perhaps Cuba.

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

/——/ Burning crosses is a democRAT thing.

Some really ugly snarky nasty comments on USMB about RBG. Such tragic hate.

She is a profoundly accomplished woman that dedicated her life to a number of causes including "the advancement of gender equality and women's rights, winning multiple victories arguing before the Supreme Court." That's just for starters.

That is enough reason for the Cons on here to hate her. Those are two things they will never stand for

dude. you're kinda being a vulture here. whether you like or or agree with her, she earned her role in our country with a ton of work that i happen to respect. no i don't agree with a lot of her views, but hey - this is america and that is supposed to be ok. i'd like to go back to making that ok again.

when she's ready to step down i'm sure she will. no it doesn't look good for her at her age as it sits but again, she's earned the time needed to get through this.

we can't keep telling the *other* side they must respect us if we keep doing the very things we don't like it when *they* do it.

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

there seem to be a lot of changes people want to our government these days.

can you imagine the shitstorm if they dusted off the constitution and said "ok, what stays and what goes"?
