Ruth Bader Ginsburg with pancreatic cancer, 3 weeks radiation therapy

[glenn1]

Get better. Retire if you need to, nothing a Trump nominee can do is worth you shortening your life in vain. I disgree with nearly all your judicial viewpoint except civil liberties but you've faithfully served the nation to your best ability, now it's time to serve yourself.

best wishes for a quick recovery

 

[fskimospy]

Obviously she should retire if she wants to, she's certainly earned it. I doubt she will though.

 

[nakedfrog]

"There was a senator, I think it was after my pancreatic cancer, who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months," Ginsburg said. "That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now himself dead, and I," she added with a smile, "am very much alive."

🙂

 

[SlowSpyder]

She's a tough old cookie, that's for sure. Though I disagree with much of what she stands for, I will not celebrate her passing like the liberals did with David Koch.

"When they go low, we go high." BAHAHAHA

David Koch, like yourself, is pancreatic cancer. no one mourns the death of cancer.

lol, comparing reactions to the illness or death of a patriot like Ginsburg vs a child-killing, planet-destroying sociopath like David Koch.

fuck off, cigboy.

 

[kage69]

I don't think she'll retire either. If I were a praying kinda guy I imagine I'd do it for her. The Supreme Court is corrupted enough already with the Russian candidate's "choices".

Get better Ruth! Just another bump in the road for the cyborg.

[SMOGZINN]

RGB can have my pancreas. I'm just using it to drink beer and eat tacos. She would use it to protect freedom.

 

[imported_tajmahal]

All my thoughts and prayers are with her.

 

[Atreus21]

This is why we need to curtail the power of the supreme court.

David Koch was more of friend to liberals than he was to republicans.

nothing a Trump nominee can do is worth you shortening your life [...] now it's time to serve yourself.

Sorry, glenn, but I perceive the partisan urging hiding inside your tender words of "concern" . . . the wolf in your pretty sheep's clothing.

Fuck your "concern." RGB is made of far sterner stuff. If you'd read the article you linked to, you'd have a better handle on where she is in all this, to wit:

During Ginsburg's three weeks of treatment in New York, she kept up a busy schedule in New York, often going out in the evening to the movies, the opera and the theater.

At the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, where Fiddler on the Roof is playing, word spread during intermission that Ginsburg was there, and the audience stood for several minutes applauding the diminutive justice.

The justice also continued to work during her time in New York, according to court sources, and she has been spotted frequently window shopping, even going in to try on shoes and other items that have interested her.

Ginsburg has 11 public events planned for September and has not canceled any of them to date.

^^^ You'd love her to retire. We just love her, and the liberal ideals she stands for. That's STANDS for, chief.

I don't suppose it's possible to take kind words at face value. No, we need to read people's minds to ferret out their true motivation.

This is what politics does to people. Wish an ill opponent dead, and you're a monster. Wish an ill opponent well, and you're called dishonest; you're really a monster at heart. Wouldn't it do our discourse well to give political opponents the benefit of the doubt when they say, "Get Better" to RBG? We can't even have that?

 

[Perknose]

"Get Better" to RBG? We can't even have that?

We can. Here, I'll model it for you:

Get better, RGB!

But "get better" eagerly wrapped up in a "here's an idea, why don't you resign" when by all accounts in the article she's vital and hearty, active and unbowed, is not exactly that, is it?

She's an 86 year old with multiple bouts of cancer, who remains in office for strictly political reasons. Not that I begrudge her that - that's what our presently empowered supreme court demands. Every time a SCOTUS justice has bad gas we hear about it on CNN.

The SCOTUS is now so powerful that we can't have an 86 year old cancer survivor consider retirement or even get sick without talk of civil war. I'm being wholly honest: If I were her grandson, I would feel bad that the only retirement she'll get is when she dies. It's a shame that after such service she has no prospect of anything other than to work until death or severe incapacity, just as neither Scalia nor Kennedy did. In recent history only Rehnquist managed to get out of the court alive, and then only for a short time.

Of course I'd be pleased for partisan reasons if she retired. I flatly disagree with her on nearly everything. But abstracting myself from politics for a few minutes, it's ridiculous that this is expected of SCOTUS justices, whatever their affiliation. I think that's all that Glenn was communicating.

#MoscowMitch destroyed any legitimacy the SCOUTS had. Either roll back all the damage he has done or expect it to be an extreme battle ground.

 

[sportage]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!
This could be the end. Absolutely the very end of democracy as we know it.
If Donald Trump gets to replace RBG then WATCH OUT America.
Truly grave news. Simple awful.
Another US Supreme Court justice about to be replaced by a totally insane, far right insane, incredibly insane illegitimate president.
Look at it this way, Vladimir Putin and Pat Robertson are about to chose our next US Supreme Court justice.
An entire soon to be high court consisting of only far right extremist bobble heads.
Pretty F...ing scary.

It was completely self-inflicted. She wanted to "surpass" another justice she respected by staying longer.

.....BAHAHAHA

I think you are in the wrong thread with that bs.... asshole.

[Perknose]

She's an 86 year old with multiple bouts of cancer, who remains in office for high minded reasons of principle, because the Trump led right wing goons are inside the gates of our fragile democracy.

FTFY

You're not her grandson. Your sudden tender concern rings hollow to me.

And YOU DON'T KNOW that RBG isn't doing exactly what she most wants to do, gladly and with a fierce and fulfilling sense of purpose.

Ruth Ginsberg has been her own woman her entire life . . . a life of service to our country.

You and glenn, staining the page with your crocodile tears, want to portray this amazing American as some sort of victim. It's BS patronizing, and I'm not buying it.

Yea, because if she retired another Neil Gorsuch or Brett Kavanaugh could be nominated. Oh, the horror. 🙄
