Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday she remains “fully able” to serve on the Supreme Court, after revealing that she is receiving chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer. She was also discharged from a hospital in Baltimore earlier this week for treatment of a possible infection.
Please get well…Prayers for your continued well being!
“I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam,” Ginsburg wrote in a statement issued Friday. “I remain fully able to do that.
If 80k voters in three states hadn’t said But Her Emails, RBG could have been spending the the past 3 plus years with her family, instead of trying to hold on with every cell in her body to prevent a rethug taking her place.
As precarious as Justice Ginsburg’s health has been these last several years, I fully expect a Potus tweet that he’s replaced her on the Supreme Court with [insert some youthful right wing moron]. Y’know, just in case.
Also, I don’t know ANYONE who has ever undertaken chemo at a twice-per-week rate.
[ETA1]: I do know multiple people who have dealt with chemo on an every-other-week basis.
[ETA2]: Inflamed bile ducts commonly turn into infections if not treated quickly enough.
I wish her well. That said, the most important priority at this point is that she receive whatever course of treatment will be most likely to extend her time of survival.
I had a neighbor who is on her 12th year of bi-weekly Chemo for cancer. She is a tough lady also. RBG will be there, and Donnie will not get another shot at corrupting the SCOTUS any further.
Well, if it took this long for the cancer to recur, there’s a good chance she can at least hang in there for another four to five months if not longer. I guess every liberal in the country will be holding their breath until January.
Ginsburg is a national hero, as we all know. And all who are sane and at least half-way decent hope she will be fine.
Now, even if the worst happens and she can not serve beyond, say, next week, not to worry about SCOTUS. McConnell will make sure that nominating the next Justice will have to await the next presidential term. McConnell is an honorable man with a track record. Oh, wait…
