I am ready to donate kidney, liver, bone marrow and any other piece or part to keep her going.

Also, please post armed guards 24/7 on her room to keep out rogue GOP fanatics.

I’m glad she is such a workout fanatic. Being in shape tends to see you through falls and mishaps when you get older. Speedy recovery to Justice RBG…

Obviously we have to wish her well. But excuse me for saying it was damned irresponsible for her not to resign in plenty of time for Obama to appoint her replacement. Now, she should have a couple of nurses and EMTs with her wherever she goes, including and especially to the toilet. I hope to FSM that she has left instructions to resuscitate, ventilate, and perform all heroic measures to keep her alive until we get a Democratic president.

Well, it looks like Trump will have to appoint an acting Justice.

Oh yes he can!! Many sources have told him so!!!

There’s probably a 35 year old klansman who was hired out of college by ALEC ready to step in.

This is not good news, but I hope she can quickly recover.
Falling was the beginning of the end for my mother.
No new Dump appointees!!!

I’m sorry but her ego got in the way of her responsibility to the country. She absolutely should have resigned under Obama, especially after the Merrick Garland travesty. Once an 80-something person falls, it’s generally the beginning of the end. Donald Trump is the luckiest goddamn person in the world and apparently there is no karma.

What would that have accomplished? The Senate was not going to confirm any Justices for Obama at the end of his term. They stalled Garland. How would Obama have gotten a Ginsburg replacement confirmed AFTER Garland’s failed nomination?

After the Merrick Garland travesty? There would’ve just been two seats stolen if that had been the case.

While I wish she would have stepped down when Obama still had a Dem Senate, after “the Merrick Garland travesty” would have been a little late in the game for reasons that should be self evident.

Why are we second guessing her? She’s awesome and we need a plan. Can the House do anything? I know they don’t have advisory powers here.
