Ruth Bader G is sick

Too close to the election 2020.

Cheeto should not be allowed to nominate anyone.

They set the precedent, so they can live with it.

If the Dems cave and let a vote go through without forcing the issue (which I recognize they would likely lose and a vote would occur), I will have no respect for any of them. Rethugs need to be dragged through the mud and their utter hypocrisy on this point should be front and center through the entire 2020 campaign for congress, senate, and president.

“She was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., before being transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital for further evaluation and treatment of any possible infection. With intravenous antibiotics and fluids, her symptoms have abated and she expects to be released from the hospital as early as Sunday morning. Further updates will be made when available,” it said.

She pisses me off every time I see her face. She's an utter selfish asshole for not retiring in the first two years of Obama's second term.

Totally agree with R1.

I agree with r3. Shouldn't have been so selfish and should have retired during O's second term.

Democratic politicians really need to talk about the Supreme Court the way Republicans do. So many young left-leaning morons say that the parties are "the same" anyway and it doesn't really matter who wins. Really?

Save us, RBG, you're our only hope

R5, she knows a lot more about her health than you do and about her stamina and mental functioning. Why don't you call the white house and demand Trump's resignation after the essentially emergency visit to Walter Reed?

I want her to live just long enough so that she’ll be at death’s door just as we approached the election.

Maybe that will get lazy Dems to the polls.

Yes, R6, and I long have said Democrats/liberals need a moderate-to-progressive version of the Federalist Society. And revivify the College Democrats across the country. They were big when I was in college in the 80s, and I have no idea why this pipeline to elective office largely has been abandoned.

But I have no idea how that can happen with a Democratic Party that's been terrified of being labeled "Liberal," of alienating long-lost bitter racist "Reagan Democrats," of fully embracing Labor/unions, of engaging fully with African Americans to understand why this crucial voting bloc so often simply sits on the sidelines and won't vote.

Hell, they let that pissant insect exterminator Tom Delay thoroughly fuck over Democrats for generations with his full-on gerrymandering. And so-called "lions" of the House and Senate (Kennedy, Daschle, Gephardt, Conyers, Breaux, Baucus, etc.) simply rolled over and let us get raped. Even Clinton and Gore didn't raise the stink they should have.

Just like Obama and Biden didn't raise holy Hell about Merrick Garland not getting his due with a seat on SCOTUS.

I just don't get it. You don't have to be an AOC or Omar to be a strong fighter for your party and the American people. But you do have to fight.

I don't like Dems who won't right - because "unity."

The GOP isn't interested in unity. Or moderation. They would kill us if they could.

I hope she gets well soon.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospitalized For Fever, Chills

The Supreme Court Justice was admitted after experiencing a fever. She is expected to be released as early as Sunday.

She has a hot ass, which doesn't bode well for her.

Wish she had stepped down when Obama was President and while the Dems had control of the Senate.

She’s in her prime. We Dems like our leaders to be 80+.

She should have been President.

Judge Judy for President. I don't think Putin or anyone could survive Judge Judy.

She should have retired the day after Obama got re-elected. Selfish woman. If trump gets another 4 years she will definitely die during his second term.

Prayers are a joke.

I think she’s had cancer every ten years, this is maybe the third time? I hope she recovers. She’s an amazing woman and her jabot collection is tops.

Mandatory retirement age for everyone for every job should be 70!

R21 they are raising retirement age to 70 in my country. People here used to retire around 55 if okay money wise, or 65 when their pension pays.

She is not going to survive this. she will gone by Christmas

[R17] As much as I love Judge Judy, I think it's possible she voted for Trump (or didn't vote for Hillary, which was basically a vote for Trump). Even back in November 2015, anyone who suggested he "tone it down," must be considering voting for him.

As of this past October, she endorsed Bloomberg. She seems to be dead-set against Warren or Sanders, and Buttigieg, Harris, or even Biden. She considers them all unelectable and, if they were elected, wouldn't be up to the task of healing the nation after beating Trump. While I admire Judge Judy and love her to death, I give a serious side-eye to that "tone it down" line. By November 2015, he said and did enough that made him an awful human being whom no sane and reasonable person should have been considering as a candidate.

I side-eye the whole "healing the nation" thing as well. Of course, the country is broken and need of repair. But, when you have tens of millions of American citizens drinking the Kool-Aid, "healing the nation" isn't a priority. I also disagree with her that Warren and Sanders are unelectable. The 2018 and 2019 elections have shown indications that the country is ready for change and a shift to the left. Some argue that they were ready in 2016 and believe the country would have elected Sanders. I'm not so sure about that. But, I have a brother who is in the tank for Trump and he liked Sanders a lot.

The world is strange.

Smart thinking r9

This only has 25 replies and the InstaHos have like 150 in 3 hours. This site has gone down the shitter.

R24 i think there was more than a few people who would have voted for Sanders but wouldn’t transfer that vote to Hillary. I found that surprising since they are both not Republican. Even with as unpalatable as some people seem to find Hillary.

If you wanted to make sure that she would actually be healthy and live much longer, then the thread should have been titled that it's her sad last days.

Instahoes act as an increasing important form of relief in this crazy topsy turvy and frightening world perhaps? R26

Judge Judy says that she’s an “Independent”, so I have no doubt that she voted for Jill Stein.

Why did no one try to persuade RBG to step down while Obama was President?

People did, R31. She refused.

tough old bird

We will truly be fucked if she dies....

Being stubborn and determined got her to the supreme court. Being stubborn and determined kept her there when she should have retired.

Gnashing my teeth in anger is pointless as far as I am concerned. Did anyone predict we would get to where we are now during the Obama years?

Trump will nominate Merrick Garland to replace her, to show the country how fair-minded he is.

And revivify the College Democrats across the country. They were big when I was in college in the 80s, and I have no idea why this pipeline to elective office largely has been abandoned.

Because the potential recruits are too busy protesting climate change by not letting the Harvard-Yale proceed.

Was Greeta Thunderberg there during the match . R37

Off the subject, but wasn’t her son a young Master Bader?

R23, Christmas is in 3 days and she's still here and working. And she will be here at least through the next election. So if you are unhappy with the state of things, i suggest you register a few friends to vote, make sure they get to the polls and you all vote for the democratic candidate in the next presidential election. Meanwhile you can push for voting mechanisms that the Russians can't hack.

What's wrong with her neck? She had cervical spine fusion?

What are you talking about?? I saw Ruth just today out Hannaka shopping, proving that she is fit as a fiddle!!
