Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was hospitalized and went under a procedure on Tuesday for treatment for a “possible infection,” the Supreme Court announced.
< There are 1,000 others who deserve infection more.>
Praying for her health
I don’t know whether to stare into the abyss or scream into the void.
Existential panic is so confusing…
I never pray, but for this I’ll make an exception…
Just have to watch for lightning bolts when I do.
c’mon Ruthie, pull through just one more time please
Remember how we clapped for Tinkerbell? Now would be a good time.
If Trump is not defeated soundly this November, Ginsburg and Breyer will most likely be replaced by Trump during the next presidential term. Breyer is about 82.
If Biden wins, I agree with David Faris:
And if Biden wins, Roberts will happily execute the right’s plan for maintaining its stranglehold on American democracy long after the Republican Party’s power has vanished. The Affordable Care Act will be overturned. D.C. statehood will get tied up in litigation for years. Progressive policies like Medicare-for-all and a wealth tax will get rope-a-doped in the courts before being extinguished years later by Roberts and his friends. Efforts to rein in corporate power will meet the same end they’ve encountered for the past 20 years.
And I also agree with his solution. Expand the SC!
This, added with all of the current disruptions as well as the economic fallout - a pending wave of CDO and CLO defaults’ effect on the banking system. Well, Halloween this year falls on a Saturday night - three nights before the election. This year may make 1968 look paltry in comparison. And this too: a big increase in the probability of a huge quake in California.
Fucking balls. This goddamn year.
Ouch!
Come on Ruth, you’ve done it so many times before, do it again. You’ve got this.
Hang in there old girl, hang in.
PRAY to Zeus that Justice Thomas has a fatal and falls his face into his peach melba in the third week of January.
If, God help us, she needs to be replaced, I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict that her replacement’s Senate confirmation will proceed faster than Merrick Garland’s did.
Steady up, everyone. This is all part of being 87.
I really want her nowhere near a hospital where they are treating Covid patients.
That would be a better way to make up for the theft of Garland’s seat. Expanding the SC wouldn’t be necessary in that case.
Yep–they’ll push it through for sure, McConnell’s bogus “Merrick Garland rules” aside. And that will make the math of possible SC expansion all the much harder, because you’ll have a 6-3 conservative majority.
Justice Ginsberg hang in there!
Is it just coincidence that, just as RBG’s bile duct was cleaned out, Tucker Carlson disappears?
