Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on Friday night with a possible infection, the Supreme Court said Saturday night, the latest health scare to confront the 86-year-old senior member of the court.

Ginsburg, the leader of the court’s liberal wing, has been treated twice in the past year for cancer. She missed a recent session of the court’s arguments with what a spokeswoman described as a stomach bug, although she returned to the bench last week.

The court waited 24 hours before disclosing Ginsburg’s most recent health scare.

“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore last night after experiencing chills and fever earlier in the day,” the court said in a news release issued Saturday night.

DUMP and McConnell are probably in the Oval Office, celebrating.

She is ovah

This is bad.

Yep, Ovah.

The poor old girl, I hope she rallies. Though she's looking frail, I should think if she's been given antibiotics early enough she'll pull through.

by Anonymousreply 6November 24, 2019 6:27 AM

Just let it sink in that Trump is going to appoint fucking three SC judges.

The battle for America isn't in 2020, it was in 2016 and they won.

This is why we have to win in 2020. She is not going to hang in there much longer. I pray to baby Jesus that she can hold on at least 6 more months.

by Anonymousreply 8November 24, 2019 7:06 AM

R3 Let's truly hope otherwise. It is annoying she didnt step down at a more optimum time but we are were we are and we desperately need to route for her to hang on in there.

I meant root for her in my r9 post.

R9 maybe RGB could go the eldest stateswoman instaho. Lots of pics of her just in her jabots, looking sultry!

You are so so naughty r11...... I think I like you!😁

Doesn't look good. Her luck has run out.

She stayed too long.

Now we are fucked

Don't be so defeatist r13 all hope is not lost.

6 months won’t do. If they have two weeks left, they’ll cram a new Justice through.

by Anonymousreply 15November 24, 2019 9:30 AM

R12 😂😂😂 it’s got merit, no?

by Anonymousreply 16November 24, 2019 9:46 AM

Of course it has r16!!! 😁😁😁😅

A genius idea!

by Anonymousreply 17November 24, 2019 9:50 AM

R17 DJT would probably even tweet her. Something classy like Ruthie, baby, looking good (perfect), I want nothing! But these pics are the greatest, the best ever. Fantastic really.

A lot of older people who are frail cling to life around the holidays only to succumb as soon aa they’re over.

I wish her the best.

I think we need to think hard about a Weekend at Bernie's scenario. Couldn't be that much more passive and useless than Thomas already is.

One more year, Ruth! You can do it!

by Anonymousreply 21November 24, 2019 10:41 AM

I have to believe that RBG will make it. But, if she doesn't, at least Moscow Mitch won't give a hearing during an election year ...

by Anonymousreply 22November 24, 2019 10:45 AM

I don't know how she does it! She's remarkable for an 86 year old most people in their 60's and 70's would struggle with what she has gone through.

by Anonymousreply 23November 24, 2019 11:19 AM

r22, but he will, he will.

Having control of the Senate and the Potus to nominate they will not leave it up to the will of the people. They are hypocrites and aren't afraid to admit to it. I would hope if she could last out the winter there wouldn't be enough time to have the hearings and it would really be a look they don't want.

by Anonymousreply 24November 24, 2019 11:31 AM

oh r22, I see you know this by your signature.

by Anonymousreply 25November 24, 2019 11:32 AM

She really screwed the pooch by not stepping down under Obama.

Time for Ruth to move to Florida, "God's Waiting Room."

by Anonymousreply 27November 24, 2019 12:21 PM

Exactly r7. The battle for America already happened, it was in 2016. But too many fuckers wanted to bitch about how Hillary wasn't a perfect candidate.

by Anonymousreply 28November 24, 2019 12:26 PM

No one other Betty White should ever be working at such an advanced age. With every year it becomes less noble and more undignified. I can understand the need to keep busy and to feel useful, but there are more appropriate ways for people in their late 80s to do that.

[quote]Moscow Mitch won't give a hearing during an election year ...

That will be clarified to be an election year with a lame duck president.

by Anonymousreply 30November 24, 2019 12:40 PM

she's 86 years old!

How long do you think she's gonna live? She should have retired years ago!!!

by Anonymousreply 31November 24, 2019 1:47 PM

I'd be very interested in seeing how much her medical and home health care bills amount to from the last three years. I'd guess nearly three million.

by Anonymousreply 32November 24, 2019 1:54 PM

Love her, but why didn't she step down when Obama was still president? Now we're fucked.

R33 Frustratingly a question that I think will be asked almost forever. 😡

by Anonymousreply 34November 24, 2019 5:51 PM

She's fine. Sends her love.

by Anonymousreply 35November 24, 2019 10:47 PM

She missed several days of work the past week or two! Heard this on the news. I think things are more dire than they are letting on!

R35, are you posting from the "Great Beyond?"

She really screwed this country when she would let Obamacare replace her.

by Anonymousreply 41November 25, 2019 10:21 PM

Her resurrections remind me of the Richard Ramirez character in AHS:1984. I want to see what kind markings she has on her palm.

by Anonymousreply 42November 25, 2019 10:58 PM

If she makes it to 2020 is her seat save till the next election? Isn't there an agreement that you don't nominate a new judge during an election year? Not that Trump would actually care...

by Anonymousreply 43November 26, 2019 3:33 AM

Whichever doc has been replacing Cheney's corroded insides with new spockets and such, needs to be given a big, fat bribe to fix Ruth so she lasts long enough to see a better person than 45 in the WH.
