RBG

85 yo Ginsburg has missed oral arguments for the first time ever. She had a fall and as a result of the examination they found she had cancer so she had surgery. She is at home recovering and working virtually from home.

I will never understand what motivates people but this is telling.

"She famously was back on the bench the day after her beloved husband Marty passed away so she's obviously very committed to the job."

What a horrible person! Just my opinion, YMMV.

At any rate, it would seem her time on the bench is coming to an end. It will be interesting to see what - if anything - the left and the right learned from the Kavanaugh hearings. Will we see the same thing? No. My guess would be that Trump will nominate a woman. This will destroy page one of the left's opposition play book, "accuse them of sexual assaults". If Trump really wanted to throw a wrench at dems he would nominate a pro-abortion but otherwise ultra conservative (if there is such a contradictory person).

I wish RBG a speedy recovery with all my heart but I wish she would spend her final months/year with her family. Not sure what the rules are if she does not show up for work but my guess is they could not 'remove' her from the bench for quite some time even if she was AWOL.

At any rate, I will set my DVR to record the hysterics from the left when she announces her resignation.
