Maybe Ginsberg has done us a favor holding out lo these eight years. Let’s wish her a long happy retirement in advance.

I don’t think Ruth Buzzy is still alive. There is some kind of animation going on there.

I used to use Fat Lesbo to describe that other one.

From the look of the Wise Latina, Kagan doesn’t have a monopoly on that name any more.

I do admit that it’s stupid for Ruth Ginsberg to not have resigned.”

This may prove one of the biggest gifts the left ever gave us. Ruth was deluded into thinking HRC was a lock and she wanted to be replaced by “The First Female President”

She must have been talking to McCain’s mom.

Didn’t she have pancreatic cancer years ago?? That’s often a inevitable death sentence!


Well, to quote Warren Zevon, “Life will kill you.”

Madam Justice, the last time I checked, you are NOT the Almighty. Don’t write checks your butt can’t cash.

Roberts isn’t going anywhere.

One bad decision doesn’t make him a Lib.

Getting Kennedy and Ginsburg replaced with Conservatives will be a HUGE deal for decades.

Replacing Breyer would be icing on the cake.

I think RBG had colon cancer which is much more treatable than pancreatic cancer.

Guess who RBG and her husband frequently dined with?

I disagree. That ONE bad decision was monumental in destroying the American WORKER’s access to affordable health care.

You are right. It makes Roberts a crook. He was set to strike down 0bamacare and then changed his mind at the 11th hour. He was either bribed or blackmailed.

Kennedy is 80 and RBG is 83. Replacing a swing vote and a far left fruitcake with originalists would be a radical change.

Breyer, anther leftist but not quite as insane as RBG is 78.

[Note: I’m praying for four or more picks by President Trump, all under age 50.]

Not just getting justices - getting the Scalia replacement is great because you can put in another young Scalia but it doesn’t change the balance. Changing Kennedy to a hard core white nationalist would be great and give some advantage. It’s when one of the libs goes down, that’s when it gets interesting. Will he have the stones to replace a lib with a hard core conservative?

>I heard Kennedy wants to retire.
If Gorsuch goes through with nuclear option then a good strategy would be for Kennedy to retire and be replaced with another 50 something conservative;)

The SCOTUS flavor will definitely change with young judges.
