Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was seen leaning on a U.S. Marshall after leaving a New York City hospital for tests, DailyMail.com exclusive photos show.
The 86-year-old's hand was held by the Marshall as she walked up the stairs into a private residence on the Upper East Side after her appointment at the Howard Laboratory at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital on Thursday.
Ginsburg is a three-time cancer survivor, beating colon cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and, most recently, lung cancer in 2018.
Ginsburg is the oldest sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice and said it is her 'dream' to be on the Supreme Court for as long as former Justice John Paul Stevens, who served for 35 years. Ginsburg has served for 26 years so far.

Yea, because THAT is what is important. Not sitting on the bench as long as you are physically/mentally competent to adhering to strict interpretation of the constitution.....
no further comment..
Another reason why Trump must Win Biggly Yugely in 2019!
tick tock . . .
Conservatives don't realize the bullet we dodged. Had Hillary won, she would have had two Supreme Court picks right off the bat. The Scalia seat AND the Ginsberg seat. Assuming that Kennedy would have retired when he did, Hillary would have had THREE SC picks already.
Soon, our tax dollars will be used to clean up her piss and vomit on the supreme court floor, if it hasn’t already.
Week-end at Ruthies.
What??? You couldn’t afford a US Marshall??

After her nomination in 1993 by Clinton, but before her confirmation hearings, I had this article published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal. Not a single Senator raised this issue during her confirmation.
Ginsburg: Quota Queen
Written by Allan J. Favish
Supreme Court nominee Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg supported a racial quota plan that allowed for the possible promotion of less qualified individuals over more qualified individuals, when the less qualified individuals were black and the more qualified individuals were white.
While sitting as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, Ginsburg was one of three judges who decided the appeal in the case of McKenzie v. Sawyer, 684 F.2d 62 (1982).
The appellate opinion sets forth the facts. The case arose when black employees of the Offset Press Section (OPS) of the U.S. Government Printing Office brought a class action under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 alleging they were victims of racial discrimination and that they had been denied promotion opportunities to which they were otherwise entitled.
At the time of the lawsuit, OPS employed five categories of workers relevant to the suit. Supervisors included foremen, assistant foremen, and group chiefs. Journeymen included qualified craft workers in apprenticeable trades who were responsible for operating most of the machinery in OPS. Craft uprates operated some of the more complicated machines such as the two-color or the web press and sometimes performed supervisory duties. Offset press assistants were participants in a training program for journeyman positions, eligible for promotion to journeyman vacancies after successful completion of the training program. Finally, printing plant workers were unskilled helpers who performed such tasks as loading and cleaning.
The district court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and ordered relief.
The relief ordered by the district court included the following promotion plan. For each uprate or supervisory vacancy, OPS was to create a five-member selection panel, with at least three members of each panel being black. For each vacancy, the panel was to select a group of “best qualified” employees, drawn from employees at the next lowest level. Selection was to be based on validated, job-related performance standards.
From the “best qualified” group, the panel was then to select five applicants, based on an evaluation and selection guide. The names and records of the five were then to be forwarded to the superintendent of OPS, who was allowed to select any one of the five to fill the vacancy. There was no requirement that the superintendent choose the best qualified individual.
Additionally, OPS also was required to promote black individuals so as to have a specific percentage of specified positions filled by blacks within four years. For uprate, group chief, and assistant foreman positions, 60% of the employees would have to be black. For foreman positions, 50% of the employees would have to be black.
Ginsburg did not write the opinion, but she concurred with the appellate court’s affirmation of this racial quota plan.
Given the failure of the district court to require that the OPS superintendent choose the best qualified individual from among the five finalists for each vacancy, and the court’s requirement that 50-60% of the positions be filled by blacks, it is clear that both the district and appellate courts condoned the possible promotion of less qualified individuals because they were black over more qualified individuals who happened to be white.
Of course, we cannot assess the qualifications of those who were actually promoted. It is possible that each vacancy was filled by the best qualified candidate and the 50-60% racial quota was still met. It is also possible that the best qualified candidate for each vacancy was always black and that when the 50-60% quota was met, the superintendent unjustly and illegally discriminated against black individuals and chose less qualified individuals because they were white.
Nevertheless, the important point is that the 50-60% quota put pressure on the superintendent to promote a black individual even if that person was less qualified than another person who happened to be white. If the best qualified candidate among the five competing for a promotion happened to be white, it was okay with the district and appellate courts if the superintendent promoted a less qualified individual who was black in order to meet the 50-60% quota.
There should not have been any pressure to promote a less qualified individual who happened to be black or a less qualified individual who happened to be white. There only should have been pressure to promote the best qualified individuals without regard for their race.
If the district and appellate court’s primary goal was to have the best qualified person promoted to fill each vacancy, then the OPS superintendent would have been ordered to select the best qualified candidate from among the five finalists and there would not have been a requirement that 50-60% of the positions had to be filled by blacks within four years.
The district court’s order created the following situation. Given the Civil Rights Act’s prohibition against racial discrimination, it would have been illegal for the OPS superintendent to select on the basis of race, a less qualified individual who was white over a more qualified individual who was black. However, the district court made it mandatory for the superintendent to select a less qualified individual who was black over a more qualified individual who was white if that’s what it took to meet the quota.
The intent of those who enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to encourage hiring and promotion of the best qualified individuals without regard to race. They shared Martin Luther King’s belief that a person should be judged by the content of one’s character, not by the color of one’s skin.
By her conduct, Ginsburg joined a long list of bureaucrats and judges who have continued to view people as members of racial groups first, and as individuals second. Ginsburg’s perversion of the Civil Rights Act has helped keep King’s dream from becoming reality.

Too late. She died four years ago but kept on going so Hillary could name her replacement.
She's also starring in the new AMC/Court TV crossover series: The Judging Dead.
LOLOL way to go to link my two threads together.
She needs the UppaWalker.
Nope, she’s dead inside- as we have all long suspected.

I like Ruth’s backpack. Is it a Barbie, or My Little Pony?
The liberal media will still call her a warrior and boast about her workout routine - even though it doesn’t exist anymore.
Just getting ready for her vigorous morning workout . . .
if he doesn’t pay back the money she lent him, it is her right to pressure him to pay up...
afterall, she is the notorious RBG.
dope
This is news?
Before I reached your post, I was looking at the pic of her with the men helping her stand; and, I thought to myself, when was the last time you saw her stand up straight? It's been years. Why oh why can't she just retire? Yeah, yeah, I know, politics.
