Ginsberg

[Headhunter]

I'd bet that old hag doesn't make it through 2019. She f'd up by not retiring when Obama was still in office.

There is no way in hell a frail old lady like her has the physical or mental capacity to be a Supreme Court Justice. But she'll hang on til her rotting corpse is dragged out the chamber.

 

[aix_xpert]

She just has to make it to next year, then it will become an election issue. That precedent has been set.

Edit: Biggest mistake Obama made (from a left POV) was to not replace RBG while still in office. Just think, if Trump is elected in 2020, he could replace both RBG and Breyer (who is 80 himself). Dems truly believed that Hillary was a lock and that they would remain in power.

Except Rs control Senate next year still.

Actually the biggest mistake Obama made was making leftism overtly visible. Had he been subtle, we'd have our first female president right now, Democrats likely would have retained Congressional majorities, and Obama could have seated a leftist activist on the supreme court like he wanted but couldn't because Republicans took that ability away from him. The neutered Republicans were forced to wake up to reality when Obama took leftism mainstream.

This is exactly right.

it’s not the official narrative but when
peeps got their 2nd year otardcare premium increases in october they got woke to wealth redistribution in a hurry

Both are gone but Collins and Murkowski are still there. Plus there are 2 more GOP Senators than before.

The dems will try to make it an election issue but with a GOP President and Senate they will have a hard time...unless the vacancy happens in Sept or Oct 2020.

Lots can happen between now and then.

This strikes me as pretty ghoulish.

Probably just me though.

And she’d beat your ass on Jeopardy, I’d bet.

I doubt she could stand up the whole 30 minutes. Of course, they could just prop her up somehow like they’re doing now!! That would be one big freak show wouldn’t it?

Add Romney to that fraud list.

 

[HighStickHarry]

Add Romney to that fraud list.

Yep he is there to do the Dems work.

You guys definitely seem to be rooting for.....something.

Obviously I was being deliberately crass for effect.

I'd love to take her on in a game of Jeopardy set it up.

I don't think that POTUS can replace SCOTUS Justices.

Link to ginsberg’s seat on the commission for civil rights? Waiting patiently...

 

[MegaPoke]

I don't wish her harm or death, but I think some proof of life and functional cognition is in order. If she can't do her job, she needs to be retired.

“Roberts opened court Monday by saying that while Ginsburg wouldn't be present for oral arguments, she would participate in the cases by reading transcripts.“

Again, some evidence that she's not being kept on ice until next year would be nice.

Lifetime appointment absent impeachment.

So yes, ghoulish...and deliberately so.

Check.

Has anyone other than hacks expressed concern about functional cognition or you know....being dead in your opinion?

Fellow justices....doctors....etc.

I would say given the Constitution, it’s incumbent upon Congress to have evidence of lack of functional cognition to begin impeachment procedures rather than the other way around.

 

[CowboyJD]

I’ll post what I want, including my opinion of the ghoulish crap like this....thanks.

Predictable thread is predictable.

I genuinely have no idea. Can you prove none other than hacks have expressed concern?

I really thought this was an original thought/concern I had, dang it... The woman misses two days of work for the first time since the Civil War, and it is a natural question isn't it?

Really - just some cell phone video of her fogging a mirror would do.

It’s a hackish commentary unless someone provides actual evidence that she is mentally incompetent or dead. No....given the announcements made by the court, her doctors, etc....it’s not a natural question.

But a statement from her doctor that she is alive and recuperating and a statement from the Chief Justice that she will be working from home is insufficient.

 

[MegaPoke]

Idiotic insulting question, with a self evident answer.

I’m a free citizen and I’m entitled to ask any question of my government employees I goddamn well please.

God....here we go again.

Ginsburg did not advocate for the age of consent to be changed to 12 years old.

She cited a bill before Congress at the time.....not written by her....no statement in the repoert as to whether and no evidence in the report or elsewhere that she was in favor or against the bill....as an example of of how to use gender neutral language to define the crime of rape.

That’s it.

That’s all.

The way the statute was actually written indicated and defined rape in a manner where a woman could never be convicted of that crime because it was defined in terms of unlawful carnal knowledge of a female by a man. She advocated for gender neutrality in how the crime of rape was to be defined by Congress so that both women and men could be prosecuted for child rape.

Nowhere in that report or anywhere else did she advocate for any particular age of consent or for passage of that particular bill.

At least you restrained yourself from ending the post with a “and she’s Jewish”....so kudos for that. This is one of those you probably want to retract after doing your research by actually reading the entire report (like you’ll ever do THAT. I know....you’re too busy to do some actual critical analysis or anything other than reposting someone else’s “work”).

I’m rooting for the next Farrell/Reilly movie to be a take off where two low level staffers have to keep a nearly departed SCOTUS member on the bench until the next election.

Wilford Brimley would play the judge.
