BREAKING : Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Days on Supreme Court Look “Numbered”
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is unsure how much longer she’ll serve on the Supreme Court.
The 83-year-old said she’d finish out 2017 for certain, but she refused to commit to anything beyond that.
It looks like President Trump will have another seat to fill.
More winning!
From Washington Examiner
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she intends to finish out 2017 on the Supreme Court but is uncertain about how much longer she will remain on the bench.
Ginsburg, 83 years old, told the BBC she plans to take stock of her future one year at a time.
“At my age you have to take it year-by-year,” Ginsburg told BBC. “I know I’m OK this year, but what will be next year?”
She added, “I’m hopeful, however, because my most senior colleague, the one who most recently retired, Justice John Paul Stevens, stepped down at age 90. So I have a way to go.”
Ginsburg also praised the recent women’s marches, which included many anti-Trump protesters, and said she had never seen a demonstration of any comparison in terms of the size of the crowds and “rapport” of the people attending.
Ginsburg said the U.S. is “not experiencing the best of times,” but added “there’s reason to hope that we will see a better day.” She also touted the importance of a free press in the U.S. and shared that her media diet includes daily doses of the New York Times and Washington Post.
Speculation that another vacancy could soon open on the Supreme Court has swirled in recent months, including from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz who said Thursday that he expects another seat to become empty this summer.
Wake her old ass up…
Justice Bader Ginsberg needs to change her reading each day. Yes, we need a free press, not a total left-wing Democrat biased media. She also needs to stay away during sessions. That would be nice.
What good is she if she needs to stay away? Should she be getting a salary for staying away? Someone who is present, alert and active mentally so they can make good decisions for the USA needs to be in her seat.
That supreme court justice need to be taking naps at home, someone save her by breaking away away her shackles she needs to be napping at home. Does she have family and grand kids that need her home. Why are they draining her out like a car battery? This is ridiculous and shameful.
I read your post 3 times grady and still can’t figure it out. away away her shackles? Does she have family that needs her home? Draining her out like a car battery? Your post is ridiculous and shameful.
I think they meant to say awake instead of away which makes no sense. She sleeps through a lot of the sessions and is known to have a few drinks also. This is pitiful and should not be allowed. Something needs to be done. Let’s do it President Trump!
Let’s not forget her outburst last year that was so biased. SCOTUS judges are not supposed to state their political opinions…..it is traditional for them to appear neutral. She is very flawed and needs to retire for the obvious reasons.
Nah, shameful and ridiculous is seeing 83 year old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, worn out and tired, she should be resting at home with family and enjoying her life. She’s given her all so it’s time for her to retire.
Marinating in fake news develops a Monkey Brain (causes common sense errosion)
So………she’s never seen anything like the recent women’s march??? Ever? You gotta be kidding! Ever hear of the protests during the Vietnam War? They dwarfed this recent march. And…it went on for years, not a brief day or two. Can’t wait for this has-been to step down. Trump gets another Supreme Court conservative soon, that makes the Court 6-3 CONSERVATIVE when she drops out.
That sleeping picture was taken years ago! I’m quite sure she hasn’t gotten stronger since then. I’m MUCH younger than she, and I see age affecting me!
