The Supreme Court says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is missing arguments for the first time in more than 25 years as she recuperates from cancer surgery last month.

Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Monday the 85-year-old Ginsburg is continuing to recuperate and work from home after doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung on Dec. 21.

‘It became a rule bank it.’

Maybe we’ll see. I wouldn’t be shocked if the GOP capitulates where they don’t need to, but it would be a big mistake if they did.

It would be a tricky situation for Mitch, but he can probably manage it.

She is bravely going to soldier on, to prevent the possibility of one fewer baby being torn limb from limb during the time she has left.

They are going to try applying it to the lame duck year of any Presidential term.

Last I checked, we still hold the Senate, unless Collins and Romney want to screw things up.

Personally, I would like proof that SHE is actually listening to the arguments and it was SHE who cast that vote a couple of days ago. Proof of life/competence would be a good idea. Has there ever been a Supreme who did this? Listened and voted from home?

Actually, I think they would need four Republican votes to get a majority. If impeachment proceedings are also underway, it could be difficult to confirm a Justice.

That 8th year argument won’t fly. Biden began this 1992-—GHWBush.

“She may already be dead and someone is issuing a vote for her.”

I wondered. We want Proof Of Life — no Photoshopping allowed.

I expect they’re hoping the movie about her sinful life will buy her and the Rats some good favor.

Biden’s argument was that he felt it was inappropriate during an election year where politics where at the forefront. My argument is that with the corrupt media making every day 24/7 “political” under Trump, This “artificial” rule is null and void.

Don’t know how to resolve. Need bipartisan rule. Maybe within 3 months of election

She, or her spokesthing lied. A week or so before it was announced she had cancer surgery, the spokesidjit said her health was good. They knew for weeks if not months she had cancer.
