Justice Ginsburg Has Pneumonia – Will Retire From the Supreme Court in January

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

According to at least one report, Justice Ginsburg can no longer perform her duties and will retire by the end of January. She may be battling pneumonia after her lung cancer surgery. At 85, recovery from surgery is not easy. This could kill her. And while we disagree on just about everything politically, life matters. So, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers for the Justice.

Who, What, Huh?

The Santa Monica Observer is credited with this recent report and breaking the news that Ginsburg had cancer and knew it before the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. Prominent Democrats knew she planned to retire and this ‘explains’ the all-out assault on Judge Kavanaugh. 

She has told key Democratic members of the Senate about her medical condition, including ranking Democratic member of the Judiciary Committee Dianne Feinstein. This explains in part the “take no prisoners” attitude of the Democrats during the Kavanaugh nomination, carefully orchestrating weak 37-year-old allegations against Kavanaugh by Women he barely remembers knowing in High School and College.

Kavanaugh is a player in this drama. He’s in the wrong place at the wrong time. President Donald J Trump will be replacing Notorious RBG, the lovechild of the left, and so will remake the Supreme Court for a generation. The Democrats simply must win back the Senate in November 2018, progressives feel.

Now or Never

Knowing Ginsberg was next, and soon, the Left had to drive Kavanaugh out and hope for (in their mind) better.

That didn’t happen. But Democrats are slow learners. They think the same team that kept Kavanaugh in play is going to roll over on border security.

They also think Trump will ignore two years of hate, smears, insults, and barbs directed at him, his cabinet, and the Republican party, and meet them halfway on the next nominee.

I doubt it.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Justice GInsburg, her friends and family for her recovery regardless of what she decides about her ‘day job.’
