Preliminary Report: RBG Has Pneumonia, Will Retire In A Month – IOTW Report

Preliminary Report: RBG Has Pneumonia, Will Retire In A Month

Friday, 18 January 2019, 12:30 Dr. Tar Uncategorized 64

Earlier this week, the Santa Monica Observer reposted an obituary-like article on  Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
They did this because they are reporting that the 85-year-old cancer survivor is currently suffering from pneumonia and will retire within a month.

The report has relevance because the SMO was first to report justice Ginsberg most recent bout of cancer surgery, which was roundly denied by lefty outlets until confirmed by the mainstream. More

  6. BOOM!

    I have been posting that the fact that for the last couple weeks almost every left-wing media source has been publishing articles attesting to her robust health… suggests to me that it is more likely than not that she has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

  9. A spectacularly failed strategy from Justice Ginsburg

    Everyone thought Hillary Clinton would easily win the White House in 2016, apparently including even Supreme Court associate justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. At age 85, she is one of the oldest serving justices behind Oliver Wendell Holmes, who retired just before his 91st birthday, and more recently John Paul Stevens; who retired in 2010 at age 90. Justice Ginsburg stated she wanted to serve five more years and rebuked calls for her to retire during the Obama administration, claiming that her replacement, someone who shares her opinions on women’s issues, was not guaranteed by allowing Obama to nominate her successor. Perhaps Justice Ginsburg believed that Ms. Clinton would be better suited to nominate a clone of herself.

  13. Trump will nominate Amy Barrett.
    Schumer will demand that a replacement be postponed until the next election.
    Lindsey Graham will ignore Schumer and proceed.
    Dems will try to pile on, but having tried being nice during the Kavanaugh confirmation Graham and GOP Senators will do the minimum for appearances and push it through. Besides, #metoo can’t complain about a woman nominee.

    27

  16. This will make another Trump USSC appointment available, I wonder what the leftist reaction to it will be?

    It’s hard to imagine anything more extreme than their attacks against Kavanaugh were, but they seem to have a surprising ability to progressively exceed themselves.

  17. Put her on vacation time or sick leave until she does retire. If she can’t show up for work, she should not have a say in decisions.
    Her ‘working from home’ is not acceptable.
    Being tried in absentia is rare and widely protested, now we have ‘judged in absentia,’ and in our very Supreme Court.
    NO
    or next it will be laws in absentia

  18. Democrat Playbook:
    As Dems realize DJT will get another SCOTUS pick the impeachment thing will be front and center and use it as an excuse to not let him make a pick. Of course the Senate will use the Reid rule and get the pick through but the Dems at least want to bash and say this pick is illegitimate.

    12

  20. In addition, them Dems may try hold any info on Linsey G. over his head. If there is anything that is embarrassing this may be threatened by the Dems and he may cave to the Dem pressure of not selecting till next election or not use the Reid Rule.

  21. Ginsburg
    “And what shall be my counter-service therefor?
    …
    Mephistopheles
    “HERE an unwearied slave, I’ll wear thy tether,
    And to thine every nod obedient be;
    When THERE again we come together,
    Then thou shalt do the same for me.”

    Thus the pact was made.
    Signed in blood.
    And payment of the debt nears.

    izlamo delenda est …

  24. I posted the link to the American Thinker article above that lays out case that the Democrats and Ginsberg screwed the pooch on this one, and why. But the one aspect of this dynamic that I think they missed is that the left is invested in cult of personality and they invest their heros with deity status and they become untouchable.

  25. Nominate potential SCOTUS people NOW. The left will be so stutteringly apoplectic what with all the shutdown, the WALL, the “new” POTUS conspiracy with Russia, AOC wanting to dump all the deadwood out of the party (PLEASE take the appropriate RINOS when you do)ETC, ETC. Try keeping their ‘base’ focused and in line…..POPCORN TIME !!!!

    12

  26. This is what happens when your political philosophy hangs on the utterances of the select of the elite. They either all up and die on you or a new dogma becomes more fashionable and a wave of zealots to the new way of thinking over runs your old guard. Both are happening to the establishment dems at the same time right now.

  31. Ruthie could be comatose for years. Her “retirement” is inevitable and her judicial rule as an obstructionist, socialist stalwart has ended. Now is the best time for President Trump to line up constitutional conservative Supreme Court nominations like Thomas or Scalia ASAP. Moderates are already seated – Kavanagh and Roberts.

  34. My mother passed away from pneumonia three years ago at age 93. She was afflicted with COPD her entire life and no longer had the strength to fight it off.

    I’d say RBG is in exactly the same boat right now as my mother was; no immune system. This pneumonia will be the end of her (and soon)

    14

  39. I just wonder why with Supreme Court Justices it is never seen that a lefty becomes more in line with the Constitution but many many times a supposed righty becomes more liberal.

    That has always bothered me.

    15

  40. Democrats have no governor (or shame) when it comes to things like this. The Monty Python Dead Parrot Sketch will pale in comparison to what we about to be subjected to.

    11

  42. Shouldn’t the headline read “RBG” instead of “RGB”?

    RGB sounds like an acronym for “Really Gross Bitch”.

    I’m not complainin’…. just striving for editorial excellence.

    Fixed, thank you for spotting the error – Dr. Tar

  43. I’m with Lazlo- no need to wish her harm or an early death. Remember that YOU shall be judged by you words as a hate monger
    on the day of judgment. Use a little salt on your tongue before you speak and give the lady credit for all her years of service whether you agree with her or not.

  45. Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump

    Hillary ” Ruth badger Ginsburg has died I would like to take her place”

    Trump “That’s fine with me but you will have to clear it with the funeral home”

    13

  48. This is the prime example of Leftist Elder Abuse. The next closest example was forcing President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton to pretend that she was physically up to the task of attending the 9/11 ceremony when she had walking pneumonia and collapsible legs.

  50. Doctors have a saying, “Pneumonia is the old man’s friend”.

    As much time as I spend with people in this circumstance, indeed many if not most of them are begging God to take them, and end their suffering. But the liberal machine is pushing everyone to do everything to keep her alive and not let her die.

    Folks, there are few things uglier than the medicalized death of an elderly patient.

  51. From OpenTheDoor: “Guess all those prayers offered up by the atheists didn’t work.”

    As an agnostic, you have no idea what you just dumped on my doorstep. Lord, I’m gonna’ be wrestling with that for a while.

    > “OMG! OMG! OMG! Trump must appoint Alexandria Ocasio Cortez ASAP!!!”

    AOC? She’s not even eligible for AARP! The only person good enough, and smart enough, and doggone it, people like her, enough to replace The Notorious RBG, is the Glorious HRC! That’s who we need to be selling to the American people!

    Thanks for doing the Devil’s work? Yeah, I think I’ll (politely) pass.

  59. Why you anonymous racist bastard….. All On Crack is not just a womyn, she’s a womyn of color.

    Besides, people might WANT Hitlery on the court. My goal, as always, is to sow dissent, confusion, and angst in the ranks of the left.

    All On Crack all the way.

    We can make the bare breasted candlelight march happen, people.

  60. No way, not a good way to parish.
    If only what’s determined by being told to ‘real citizens’ meant something. A post for life with the end all, be all?
    I feel sad for her as all other elected for life hypocrites that have decided us ‘citizens’ are below them and should retire, and no matter what they decide is ‘The Law’.
    Just as watching a love one wasting away, our Supreme Court finds this the as an acceptable way.
    May not having agreed with her views, however they are, what we presently allow as the law.

    An admirable goal, Mr. Burr. Admirable, indeed.
