Expand While that's true, this does open up a very important discussion about the court and when its members should be removed from the bench. We already know she cast a vote while recovering from surgery (meaning she was on painkillers and other mind altering drugs at the time of her decision). Now, in that case, if she were "clear headed" she likely would have voted the same... but should we set such a precedent to allow supremes to vote while under the influence?

B-Man Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 "It Might Be Time to Start Fireproofing the Reichstag/Ruth Bader Ginsburg's absence signals our last line of defense is in peril." Writes Charles P. Pierce in Esquire. It's time for everyone to start getting used to the fact that, unless some massive legal apocalypse intervenes, the president is going to get at least one more nominee for the United States Supreme Court and that, barring a sudden desire to keep the republic from turning entirely to guacamole, the Senate is going to rubber-stamp Justice Wingnut McWingnutty onto the Court for the next 40 years..... [And Trump] has announced that he will give a Big Boy speech on TV Tuesday night, which will be followed by his taking his unending road show to the border on Thursday because that's just what the border needs. He can go there because there is no emergency.... ADDED: I looked up how old Pierce is because I was thinking that there's got to be some age limit on humor like "Justice Wingnut McWingnutty" and "republic turning... to guacamole." I'd recommending moving on to a better level of sophistication certainly before leaving college. Pierce is 65! . 1

Chandemonium Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 When this thread was started before I opened it I wasn’t sure if fallen literally meant fallen or was a euphemism for died. Every time it’s been bumped since, I still half expect to see that news when I open it.

Expand So just to summarize: Trump's combatting of human trafficking is causing a shortage of children from whose pineal glands adrenochrome can be harvested from. And this shortage of adrenochrome is delaying the programming of RBG's clone, which is why no one's seen her recently, because she died in December. What's more...I just shared this with my team, and one of my developers told me his mother was RBG's respiratory therapist after the surgery. Which denial PROVES this is being covered up! WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!!!!! 2
