RGB in hospital after fall

[HMM]

It's difficult for me to believe someone or some group of people never took Ruth aside and told her she was putting her ego ahead of her legacy and the balance of the Supreme Court.
It's almost impossible to me that no one saw this coming.
So as much as I can love my enemies, the lack of common sense and decorum is likely what made them my enemy in the first place.

She, like the rest of the democrats and a large part of the rest of the country, thought there is no way Hillary wasn't going to get elected. I'm betting she figured she had 8 more years before she had to worry. The stress of that mis-step is taking its toll I'd say...

What worries me the most is from now on it'll be a fight to get anyone on the SCOTUS. Gone are the days that a person will be confirmed by both sides. It'll be a one sided blood bath sadly...

By contrast, conservatism isn't trying to dial things back to slavery days and witch trials, we are just trying to maintain what the founders put forth and not let things get insane. Of course we have very few conservatives these days but lots of progressively minded republicans.

I would argue that progressives were never a corrective course but a reaction to something that was never really bad but simply different.

But your last sentence is where the problem lies for me. I would love to have nine justices who say “clearly marriage of any sex is no the purview of the government, machine guns and artillery should be in private hands, people should be allowed to poison themselves with whatever substance they like, and labor should be a free market just like anything else.”

I want the government prosecuting fraud, theft, and violence, and then getting out of our lives.

But today...as the world exists? It’s a disaster because we are so polarized...and that’s not what conservative are even trying to attain.

Look at what most people who aren’t conservative think it means. Should we back down or compromise our beliefs? No. But need to be aware of the climate. And celebrating some nice old lady’s imminent death is in extremely poor taste and demonstrates the behavior that is going to backfire on us.

So when will the (R) vs. (D) supreme Court nominee issue start producing results equaling promises made in The Federalist Papers?

When we had things like slavery, the draft and southern democrats representing the KKK it was progressive who were a course correction, of course "progressive" doesn't always mean Democrat.

I'm not one to celebrate it, but I won't mourn the enemies of freedom. When Dung Xiaoping died I didn't celebrate, I was just glad he was gone and could do no more harm.

"Balanced"? NO, SCOTUS should be stacked with STRICT CONSTRUCTIONISTS who understand and abide by the black-letter text of the Constitution according to Framers' intent in the Federalist Papers rather than spewing forth with "emanations" and "penumbras" drawn straight from their turdlockers.

Con Law properly practiced is just Contract Law on a Writ Large scale... if Gov v People were tried with the Constitution as a "contract" in a Contract Law case like a corporation vs its customers, USG would be found in Material Breach of Contract and subject to a level of Punitives never before seen in in the entire worldwide history of Civil Law and Torts. Perhaps even a referral for Criminal Fraud...

The derp is strong in this thread, guess one to many nicks with the old Gillette SJW safety razor . . .

No surprise really.

I wonder if their working double time down at the Planned Parenthood spirit cooking to sustain their High Priestess.

I don’t have the article in front of me but I read earlier today that not only did she cancel her appearance in LA at the Skirball center, but she already canceled her appearance in NYC early next month.

[Averageman]

I believe they expect her back at work next week.

"Update, 1/16/19: Justice Ginsburg today cancelled a public appearance set for January 29, 2019, as she remains in a hospital fighting Pneumonia. The elderly judge appears to be nearing the end of her life, as the Trump administration asks allies for suggestions to replace her. Jan 29 in LA - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cancels Public Appearance in Los Angeles Set for January 29 https://t.co/ilYdXI05NH via @gatewaypundit

As any reader of the Santa Monica Observer knew last September, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed lung cancer. The 85 year old Supreme Court Justice had surgery as quietly as possible on December 22, 2018.

Following surgery, she has developed complications including pneumonia. Pneumonia often afflicts elderly post surgery patients in the US, since antibiotics have resulted in Multi Resistant Strains of the lung infection.

The left and the main stream media have tried to put on a brave face as Ginsburg missed three straight days of argument this week, interviewing cancer doctors to say that she would recover. They claimed that she was working in her hospital room, knowing that it was untrue.

No one in the media on in the Democratic party want to face the awful truth that President Donald Trump is about to replace one of the Court's most liberal justices."

I can’t speak to the validity of the source, but it’s on the wire and CNN reported it yesterday. It’s a valid story either way.

Edit:That she is cancelling appearances. Nothing suggesting that she’s in hospital.
