DC: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday that she has no plans to retire any time soon.
“My answer is as long as I can do the job full steam, I will do it,” Ginsburg, 84, told a friendly audience at an Equal Justice Works conference in Arlington, Va.
“I used to have an answer, it worked for a lot of years,” she added. “It was Justice Brandeis — when he was appointed he was the same age as I was, 60. And he stayed for 23 years, so I expect to stay at least as long. Well, now I’ve passed Brandeis, I’ve passed Frankfurter.”
She makes a great Halloween ornament.
She was an Affirmative Action appointment and they should just let her be.
Don’t wake her for any important shit, just for donuts.
When she dies, I’m sure there’s another fucking illiterate, anti-American stooge waiting in the wings to keep her chair warm. No hurry. One bullshit lawyer’s as good (bad) as another.
izlamo delenda est …
In an earlier statement, Ms. Ginsberg stated, “Is Rusty still in the Navy?”
“Feet First” Ruthie.
No surprise. And she’s shamelessly oblivious to questions of ageing on mental function and judgement.
As a Lefty, it’s all about her.
But there’s a clock ticking. A shattered hip, a stroke, an aneurysm will wipe that smug smirk off her face for good.
They can bury her in her stupid lace collar.
Maybe Gorsuch will slam a book down on the table while she’s napping. That should do it.
“…as long as I can do the job full steam…”
I can help you with that, Ruth.
She’s overstayed her welcome by 24 years already.
Remember, grrrls, every time Supreme Court Justices sign a document with The Notorious RBG’s mark on it as well, they’re saying “We’re all equal. Yes we are!” There’s no reason that should ever be forgot.
“…as long as I can do the job full steam…”
That ship sailed a decade ago. Her refusal to leave only empowers her law clerks.
Like every good commie she’said determined to do her best to destroy this country until her very last breath.
Lady Bird, Helen Thomas, and Gloria Swanson need a fourth for bridge…
Check Ruthie’s pulse from time to time.
They should push her hard, every day writing their decisions, participating in the discussions, asking questions during court. Make sure she is an equal member of the court at all times. That ought to do it.
Nobody should be appointed to any position for life. Ginsberg is the napping poster child for this statement.
“Like every good commie she’said determined to do her best to destroy this country until her very last breath.”
Oh for a second there, I thought the comment was about McCain. lol
Embalmers are on standby. They shouldn’t have too long a wait.
There’s been reports of a spike in scavengers lurking about the supreme court building.
Longevity has nothing to do with correct interpretation of the law or the constitution. It is about obstruction, social justice and legislating from the bench.
Will she make it until tomorrow? Or Next week. God doesn’t promise tomorrow to anyone.
Stick her in a jar of Formaldehyde and set her on a shelf. We know how her rulings will be.
It sounds terrible and it is but … wouldn’t it be great if she keeled over during the State of the Union address.
I wonder if the newspapers would run great pics of Dems crying like election night.
The Grim Reaper has her on Speed Dial.
PDT will get to appoint at least 2 more SCOTUS justices. RBG will be his next vacancy, I’m thinking.
Agreed, no appointment should be “for life”.
And it’s high time for mandatory PUBLIC medical screenings for ALL public officials.
All diagnoses and prescription Meds should be published on a regular basis.
Leftists will be hardest hit.
Old Gin-(and tonic)-berg died a year ago and is looking for a place to lie down!
Appointments to the High Court should be for 15 years. Modifing the Constitution is a very long and involved process! But it can be done,
If she were Amish, her kids would have her in the back of the double buggy while traveling after dark on a busy road.
We need to start getting rid of people you are medically deficient.
Trump should write an executive order if one doesn’t exist
“…as long as I can do the job full steam…”
Maybe she’s been talking to Gwyneth Paltrow.
MJA
Me too! It sure fits!

Tony R, I shudder to think how much of RBG’s work is being done by her unsupervised clerks.
I understand she’s stopped attending friend’s funerals. She got tired of the funeral director coming up to her and saying “Not hardly worth the trip home, is it?”
