Accept that things ain't getting any better.There is almost no way she makes it two more years. SCOTUS is gone. What do we do now?

Your simple human logic cannot comprehend the actions of one so notorious.remember when she could have retired during obama's first term and allowed the democratic senate to confirm a nice young successor
If the Democrats get the Presidency and a majority in Congress in 2 years, add more seats to SCOTUS.There is almost no way she makes it two more years. SCOTUS is gone. What do we do now?
Hunker down and prepare for the slow, SLOW work towards recovery.There is almost no way she makes it two more years. SCOTUS is gone. What do we do now?
I'm sure she is in bed right now laughing at people asking her if this means she'll retire. She knows what's at stake, it's no doubt why she works so hard at being fit. She can make until 2020. I believe.There is almost no way she makes it two more years. SCOTUS is gone. What do we do now?
Republicans keep lathering the stairs in grease while she's out for lunch.Oh good. It's also come to my attention that this is a repeat occurrence. Last happened in 2012.
Hell. I know people want to lionize her and make a pop culture meme about how she's a strong old lady, but she should have let Obama replace her. She hasn't written any significant opinions in nearly 10 years. The Trump administration is chomping at the bit to nominate Barrett now and McConnell's increased majority in the Senate isn't going to be stoppable..

For one relax, she broke ribs, that's it, she will recover she is tough.There is almost no way she makes it two more years. SCOTUS is gone. What do we do now?
This is the issue. Worry about complications, not just the fall itself.
Um, she's 85. You don't just recover at 85.For one relax, she broke ribs, that's it, she will recover she is tough.
Or six.
We're so fucked. Even if we win the presidency in 2020, the senate will be republican controlled until at least 2022.
Not with that senateIf the Democrats get the Presidency and a majority in Congress in 2 years, add more seats to SCOTUS.
This might come as a surprise but yeah you could. I know this place loves misery but she will be fine. Even if she has to be wheel chaired out she will do her duty. Faith, get some.
If we ever had the opportunity, we should increase the size of the supreme court to 13.
Yea, really, good lord.How about you people stop acting like she is already dead. For the love of fuck.
Agreed. At the very least the day after he was elected for a 2nd term.i think RBG is a great person with an exceptional career and while I do think it is her right to live her life and not sacrifice her career "just because" she's elderly. At the same time, I also believe if she is a person that truly loves the law, and wants to make sure all people are treated as equitably as possible by it, she should have fucking retired the day Obama was sworn in.
LolDid you see how hard Acosta chopped that intern. This is clearly resulting wave force rippling through the area.
Agreed. My point was it's also stupid to say "Oh, yeah, she'll just bounce back!" That gets harder and harder to do as you age.This might come as a surprise but yeah you could. I know this place loves misery but she will be fine. Even if she has to be wheel chaired out she will do her duty. Faith, get some.
Just another shitty piece of news to add to the shit pile that is this week.
