    And neither did you condemn the behavior. And it is hilarious and hypocritical of you to talk about projection when the righties here do it on a daily basis.

    I hope she’s ok. At that age, an injury can lead to a rapid decline.

    She needs to retire and pass the torch to a young conservative.

    She's very frail, and even broken ribs are dangerous at her age.

    I suspect Kavenaugh was just a warm up, lefties will ramp up the attacks (but with fewer in the senate) when she is replaced.

    Ginsburg is too old to recover easily. That should be the end of career.

    I think democrats only hope is to find a body double to appear in public for gingsberg should she die in the next 2 to 5 years while trump is in office and they keep her on ice somewhere

    Not at all. We've been here all along, and yours truly just recently has predicted Trump appointing another SCOTUS during the next 2 years.

    A final nail into the governing from the bench it'll be :applause:

    You Righties better not count your chickens yet.

    This woman has had I think two or three cancer scares and quite a few hospitalizations.

    She seems to be a tank!

    I will pray for her quick recovery and if not possible, a peaceful life

    I'm not counting "chickens." I'm going by reality for us seniors. I'm a cancer survivor and that is about 65% of the cancer patients these days.

    My own mother died recently after breaking her hip a year earlier. I took care of her but it was obvious she wouldn't last much longer.

    It's REALITY.

    Something to consider..Today, right now the dems are at the peak of their ability to have an affect on the selection of a R.B.G. replacement. They have a GOP senate with a couple of semi-Rino's who leave in January and in January the dems lose 3 seats and those new senators are all actual team players.

    Today the dems can perhaps kill a serious conservative using our waffley senators and the good ladies from Maine and Alaska. This 'leverage' goes away in January.

    If Ginsberg lingers until after January, then Trumps ability to select a serious conservative judge grows perhaps past the point that the dems can kill it...

    I wouldn't wish her death. I hope she doesn't have to go into the hospital and I hope she doesn't have to deal with failing health. That's sort of thing scares the crap out of me and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But she is in her 80s. It may be time for her to retire. Don't worry it isn't the end of the world. Just because Donald Trump pick somebody for the Supreme Court doesn't mean they're going to be a hard-line right winger the last pick he made wasn't. He was a textualist, but that isn't a bad thing it isn't conservative unless you believe the Constitution is conservative I frankly think it's liberal.

    It's not but it would be in Donald Trump's best interest to replace her with more of a centrist. We've had a partisan Court for too long it's time for that to be over. And if he appoints a more right-leaning Justice then maybe Democrats will fight to limit exactly what the court does and I think that's a good idea.

    So don't worry about it if for whatever reason Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg cannot serve any longer and that time is coming it's inevitable, it won't be so bad.

    Just because Democrats didn't win the executive election and 2016 and they didn't win the Senate in 2018 does it mean Democrats are going to go away. As an independent voter that leans more toward Republicans I wouldn't want that to happen.

    The fact that the house the executive branch and the Senate can change over is enough motivation for either the Democrats or the Republicans to try and be more Central.

    Could you imagine a world where it was just Republicans? I wouldn't want to live in that world. Nor if it was just Democrats.

    So don't worry about it it will be okay things change people change politics is in a constant state of change and it won't be long before Democrats regain power little further down the road they'll lose it again and back and forth.

    Clearly, not what I said either. But I do understand your willingness to continue trying to paint others with that poster's comments. So, No, I don't support the comment. Clear enough the second time, yet? But what is ugly is your willingness to continue to flaunt that ugly for your own selfish reason.

    Even if Ginsburg died today, Trump will not nominate anyone before January 1st.

    The greatest thing RBG ever did was call out the Dems for their shameful tactics during the Kavenaugh confirmation hearings
