She sleeps thru them anyway ...

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will not be attending President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Instead, she will be at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, for a talk that was announced in August, the Providence Journal reported.
Ginsburg, 84, also has sent signals recently that she intends to keep her seat on the bench for years to come.
When asked how long she intends to serve, she said she will stay as long as she can go “full steam,” drawing inspiration from her model, Justice John Paul Stevens, who stepped down in 2010 at age 90.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Ginsburg's nomination by President Bill Clinton and her confirmation as the second woman on the court -- following former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who was nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
“She is so spry,” said friend Ann Claire Williams, a newly retired federal appeals court judge, adding that Ginsburg’s mind is also sharp and her recall on cases “extraordinary.”
The eldest Supreme Court justice has produced two of the court’s four signed opinions so far this term. She’s even hired law clerks to take her through June 2020, just months before the next presidential election.
Ginsburg also did not attend last year’s presidential address, after attending to all eight of former President Barack Obama’s addresses, the Hill reported. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas also didn’t attend President Trump’s address last year.

She sleeps thru them anyway ...
She is setting herself up as a must recuse on any issue involving President Trump. Wonder why? That could only be to Trump’s benefit.
“She is so spry,” said friend Ann Claire Williams, a newly retired federal appeals court judge, adding that Ginsburg’s mind is also sharp and her recall on cases “extraordinary.”
When she’s not snoring
Ginzburg is just trying, in her waning moments, to offer some solace to her fellow lefties that she will make it through Trump’s defeat in November 2020 so that a Democrat President can replace her.
Our Founding fathers really screwed up when they made SC tenure “LIFE”.
Ofcourse back then people were exceptional to live to sixty.
Yeah, no loss - the diabetic Wide Latina probably needs 2 seats anyway.
Who decides if recusal is necessary? If it’s her, then it requires some degree of integrity. In which case, she’s never going to recuse.
Female Bernie, let’s call her Gernie.
Well, we can pray for her.
Justice Sleepy McSnoozeberg is a powerful voice in American jurisprudence. She will be missed.
Gernie Ginsburg.
I’m on board.
They also screwed up not having term limits on congress.
“She is so spry,” said friend Ann Claire Williams
A elderly code word for “fragile”.
Maybe so, but her "life expectancy" according the Social Security Administration mortality tables is less than the Trump "term expectancy".
...for a peaceful demise, and a warm afterlife!
(Why do we call it an 'afterlife' when it's an 'afterdeath'?)
Lucky for her, being a liberal icon does not require any mental acuity.
Thanks for posting! You posted the same comment I was about to make.
Exactly.
Like the State of the Union address is a surprise every year.
The best laid plans of mice ...
