She should thank her lucky stars that she's NOT subjected to Obamacare!She should count her lucky stars that she isn't getting the pillow treatment a la Scalia.
Well she was appointed by Bill so maybe she isn’t on the Clinton’s Dead Pool list.She should count her lucky stars that she isn't getting the pillow treatment a la Scalia.
You guys honestly think that the rest of the justices would just sit by if she was unable to do her job?
That's an interesting question. I don't know how the other Justices feel or what they think. Nor do I know what, if any, process there is for them to review or comment on the competency of any other Justice. I do believe that, under the circumstances, they may may err on the side of excessive caution and refrain from making any comment or taking any action that could add to the political controversy around a Supreme Court nomination. Certainly, any negative comment or move to impeach or remove Ginsburg would be met with a firestorm of outrage from the Media and the Democrats. I think even if she were catatonic though oral arguments or deliberations nothing could/would be done by the other Justices.

Yes. I absolutely do.

....But seriously, I expect them all to sit there and shut up because they dont want to be in the hotseat themselves later. Call it "Professional Courtesy".
For the most part all public servants stick together. Cops, teachers, legislators, etc. Not shocking that judges are no different.
Yes. I absolutely do.
She's been on the court for 25 years, working with say 12-13 people during that time. Part affiliations aside, you probably cultivate some pretty ironclad loyalty being in such an exclusive club.

It may shock some people these days, but it is possible to really like someone on a personal level that you have deep disagreements with.

Snitches get stitches. Its the Notorious RBG, after all. They're afraid she'll shank 'em.
