Awww shit.

No, I'm not going to worry yet. Notorious RBG is a tough old bird, she exercises and eats right. And she's acutely aware of the need to stay in office. Not going to worry about republicans increasing their partisan infection rate of the court just yet. A little nervous though.

Get better RBG. I don't always agree with your judicial philosophy but hopefully you resume your rightful and important place on SCOTUS soon.

Commendable sentiment glenn. Good on ya.

Now that Democrats have the house it's not as big an issue, they'll have to find someone that'll pass.

What kind of workman's comp is there for Supreme Court Justices?

Umm the house means nothing. Senate confirms.

Meh I won't pile on now that I see others have already pointed out the mistake.

85 years old. Surprised she did not retire at 80 under the former President.

I wish her luck in her recovery, though the outlook should be guarded for anyone her age. Perhaps this means she'll be limited to a wheelchair to prevent a repeat?

She should have retired under Obama instead of waiting for the first female President to name her replacement
Holy hell will break loose if she doesn’t make it another 2-6 years

Why is the world run by these ancient geezers? All they've done for 80 years is F everything up.


Young people should rise up and take over. We are stronger than them. We can beat them up and take back the country. Physically.

Nothing but respect for Ginsburg and I hope she recovers and resumes her position on the bench.

It's tough to bounce back at 85.
I assume she has aids that are always close by to lend a hand?

They would have to give a shit first. Every election we see just how little the youth of America cares. Why would we let them run the country if we can't trust that they will spend a few hours of their day every other year to do the very minimum needed to keep it running?

As you age you gain wisdom and have a much more complete perspective than when you are younger. You sound like you have very little perspective.

Ginsberg? Oh yes. You might not want to push your luck with those who aren't frail/women. Of course, you wouldn't participate because an old lady might smack you with her cane.
