Ruth Bader Ginsburg hospitalized!

[Valrifell]

Apparently she skateboarded to hospital..

Without a helmet with her pet bald eagle on one arm.

Truly the justice America deserves.

Bone fractures are no joke when you're in your 80's. While yeah that alone won't kill her she pretty much has a foot in the grave at this point, she needs to retire and spend a couple years in peace.

Her job is sitting down and reading and thinking. If her broken ribs keep her from doing that, what relief will she find in retirement?

Her ribs will be just as broken for just as long whether she works or not, so why should she stop working?

I'm more concerned about the fact that many are practically encouraging her to cling onto the Supreme Judge position until her death like she's the Pope or something.

She's 85 and she's suffered a notable injury. At this point, instead of being a stubborn mule and eventually falling over dead in the Supreme Court, I'd retire in dignity and peace and spend the last few years with the family.

It's not even a matter of politics, it's a matter of reasoning.

[Valrifell]

The reasoning is her career becomes moot if she retires now. She's a tough and stubborn lady, she wouldn't retire if the entire country wanted her to.

Is she serving with a gun to her head? She can retire if she wants to. She can make the choice any day, any time. If she decides that she still wants to serve on the Supreme Court, that's her right, because it's a lifetime appointment.

Heard about this, hope she can recover.

Apparently she backflipped onto the gurney and surfed it down the corridor to the x-ray room..

Is she seriously going to pull a John McCain and go into the grave with hatred?

Truly dignity means nothing to political rabid dogs.

[Valentine Z]

No matter the political alignment, she is still a human, and I only wish for her speedy recovery.

Dignity is a woman making her own choice about her own life, and deciding when she's done rather than armchair doctors deciding for her.

Wouldn't really have this problem if the sitting president showed an ounce of willingness to compromise and a modicum of respect for his opposition.

As it stands RBG is likely to be replaced by a foaming-at-the-mouth Rep partisan in a similar vein to Kav (maybe not the foaming bit). RBG knows this and, as I said, she's stubborn and tough and wouldn't want to see that happen.

She fractured three ribs, so mild she actually went home first.. she has more dignity in her little finger than all of us combined..

C'mon, nobody has compromised on SCOTUS picks in decades.

No, dignity is knowing when one has reached his limit and step down and spend her last few years in PEACE with her family.

She's being petty by being so stubborn despite repeated injuries that would've forced your average senior into retirement already.

[Bombadil]

Apparently she’s already nailed a junior doctor..

Garland was supposed to be that.

Garland is a center left judge who was being appointed to replace one of the biggest name conservatives ever on the court. It's exactly like replacing RBG with someone like Kavanaugh lol

[Thermodolia]

Man I disagree with her a lot and I make no secret that I want her replaced but that sucks :/

Hopefully she isn't hurt too bad.

Same here. Though maybe she finally retires

[San Lumen]

I hope he recovers fully. I and many others forbide her to pass on until 2025. She has already said she has no intention of retiring until then

[Thermodolia]

Obviously, if she can no longer perform her Supreme Court duties, the President would pick another new justice. And conservatives would have an even larger majority than they have now. I think they might use that majority to overturn laws they don't like, such as allowing states to decriminalize marijuana, decrease or eliminate services to the general public, and perhaps even declare 'all your rights are belong to us'.

Also, you're probably going to need more of an opinion in your opening post:
viewtopic.php?p=18946099#p18946099
Specifically, try elaborating on who, what, where, why and how you are "shocked and stunned".

Decriminalizing Marijuana and even making it legal is actually pretty popular among conservatives

[Thermodolia]

We live in dark times here in America because of Trump. I don't want another Kavanaugh scandal at the Supreme Court.

Oh if and when RBG is replaced that fight is going to make Kavanaugh look like a civil discussion in comparison. It's gonna be bad.

What fight? The gop is expected to get 54 in the senate. That’s no fight

He could nominate a open white supremacist bible thumper to the court and the Republicans would confirm

On police and government overreach both of which he was for. I don’t know about guns though
