The tooth fairy?

Who do they frequently dine with? I've never seen them at Noodles & Company, Hard Times Cafe, or our local and most excellent Chinese eatery, but RBG looks like she's on the tofu and bean sprouts circuit, so I doubt I'd encounter her in any case.

All the more reason for Trump to disclose Barry’s true identity.

The “wise latina” is widely thought to be the most radical leftist on SCOTUS, even more radical that Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg (which says a lost about Sotomayor).

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

She also had Pancreatic cancer...

I think she is saying that based on discussions with the other liberal judges none of them are going to retire with Trump in office. God may have other plans.

Scalia dying when he did helped Trump get elected because it pushed some voters to vote for him. Otherwise they might have told themselves that no conservatives would retire in four years. God is in control.

The so-called “wise latina” probably doesn’t write her own court opinions. LOL

Sotomayor and Kagen are illegitimate justices nominated by the illegitimate president obozo. Trump needs to ferret out the truth on the obozo citizenship and his presidency

And here I've been wondering if she didn't hang in there on purpose, after getting a good look at (the lack of depth for) Kagan and Sotomayer.

Then again, I also get the impression Ginsburg sees herself as highly significant & important. Must keep up the good fight. Like; Progress, comrades! Progressive b right! Conservatives b old sticks in the mud (and they are often men) who oppress people! (women and minorities hit hardest). Did I mention that it is men who are the biggest trouble-makers? Womans must fix it. Progress!

I hope the Wise Latina is wrong. We need more justices who sometimes issue opinions that sometimes conflict with their own opinion of right and wrong. The idea that there are so many 5-4 decisions when they are all interpreting the same law is absurd.

RGB and her husband were close friends with the Scalias.

I stand corrected.

She is very lucky to have survived pancreatic cancer.

If there were to be an investigation on the Terrorist in Chief’s eligibility, Kagan and Sotomayor might be out the door.

i think she’s signaled repeatedly that she will die on the job. Her choice.

safe with 8 years of President Trump and then 8 years of President Pence…
Taking the next election for granted is risky; taking the next three elections for granted is, forgive me, just plain stupid.

You have to realize that a sitting VP only president-elect on rare occasions. John Adams kinda doesn’t really count since in the pre-12th Amendment era his election as VP was not based on being Washington’s running mate. Really the only two sitting presidents to see their VP elected POtUS were Andrew Jackson and Ronald Reagan.

Closest thing to a third term for a popular outgoing POTUS. Leaving aside the FDR four-peat . . .

Buzzi will drop dead any day

They should come out and admit that she's already dead. "Weekend at Bernie's Ruthies" has gone on too long.
