Ruth Bader Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer


Recommended Posts

Not surprising.  The accelerated growth predisposes clones to cancer.  It's usually mitigated by adrenochrome administration during the quickening process, but given that adrenochrome supplies are tight because of Trump's inroads against child trafficking...

She's doing a good job, why turn the court over to a zealous minority that doesn't represent the vast majority of the country?

From a purely neautral stand point, as far as partisanship and the court goes, she made a terrible miss-calculation by not retiring during the Obama admin. The reward for the idiocy that everyone assumed Hillary was a shoe in is going to be paid in full if she passes or has to step down and Trump is given another seat to fill.

All the best for her. If Alex beat it, so can she!

 

Did he beat it? I haven’t heard an update in a while. 

 

 

I do wish her the best as a fellow human. I hope she retires to fight and beat her cancer.

Just like your response to her passing away (if that were to happen) and Trump replacing her will be. Also, the lefts systemic lies and desperation regarding Kav.

I have no worries. The court can't venture too far from public opinion without facing a serious backlash

I suspect she will hold on hoping for a Democratic President.

 

If this was a D or R, my advice would be resign and enjoy the time left with your family.  That is the legacy to protect, not the Supreme Court.

 

Well, a trip to Epstein Island is probably off the list.

I lost my Mom to Cancer and saw what a late stage recurrent Cancer can do.   RBG has more important things to consider than SCOTUS at this point

We've said that before, but honestly, what else does she have left? Her husband died years ago, so it is very likely that her court responsibilities is what keeps her alive... Agree with her or not, and I don't, you have to admire her tenacity.

They don't want to give up the power and prestige of their position.

Don't discount the fact that even people we don't agree with (like RBG) have a passion for what they do and truly feel that they are making a difference.

You seriously think the court makes their decisions based on public opinion?  Any judge that uses that as a basis for their decisions should be stripped of their robes.  Your stupidity never disappoints

If we strip any of those 9 we won't be able to unsee it.

I'm not sure which RBG thread I should be posted in. {insert dazed and confused emoji}

Analysis: Justice Ginsburg’s “Bile Duct Stent” – A Treatment Typically Used in Advanced Cases to Provide End of Life Care
 

</snip> (the statement put out)
 

This is important because a biliary stent is only installed if a tumor was large enough to cause blockage of the bile duct from the liver to the intestine.
 

It is typically performed in cases where the patient has cancer on the duct itself and often predicates liver cancer.
 

Again the stent is typically only used in advanced cases and often only surgery is done for early cases:

Liberals believe the President legislates, the courts execute, and the legislature merely advocates.

Chef, you really cooked up a grade A BS sandwich there. It goes like this:

 

You have an election. 

The person with the most votes becomes president. 

The President makes laws and stuff because he/she is really popular with the people. 

The judge wants to be popular (everyone does) so ipso facto he/she listens to the president. 

The judge then rules by president ipso facto following the popular public opinion of the day. 

Ergo, the court makes their decision based on public opinion. 

 

Democracy Uno Zed Uno.

Any judge (especially with a lifetime appointment) that gives a flying crap about being "popular" should not be on the bench.

Overruled.  I used Ipso Facto and Ergo in laying out my case. Veni vidi vici. 

 

I'm beginning to question whether or not you actually went to law school. ?

He's actually Frank Abagnale Jr. and Carl Hanratty is still trying to figure out how he passed the bar.

I used my White Privilege check to pay off the bar examiners...
