RBG Feeling Great; Will Retire When Hell Freezes Over

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has provided an update on when she plans to retire following a spate of serious health issues.

In a wide-ranging interview with NPR, the 86-year-old weighed in on a variety of issues including when she would step down from the bench – the answer?

Not anytime soon!

Ginsburg or RBG as her cultlike following refers to her seems to be rejuvenated following a serious scare from lung cancer that had many believing that President Trump would get a third SCOTUS pick in his first term.

But Ginsburg is as tough as a two-dollar steak and has rebounded with a determination to outlast Trump.

According to the elderly justice, “I am very much alive” and made it a point to kick a dead man when she mocked former Republican Senator Jim Bunning who seemed to relish her 2009 bout with pancreatic cancer but who passed away in 2017.

It’s been a long time, but Ruth Bader Ginsburg clearly hasn’t forgotten some controversial comments by former U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning.

When the subject of her health came up in an interview this week with NPR, the longtime U.S. Supreme Court justice didn’t mention Bunning by name but had a lot to say about some remarks he made in 2009, weeks after Ginsburg had undergone pancreatic cancer surgery.

“There was a senator, I think it was after the pancreatic cancer, who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months,” Ginsburg said in an interview with NPR’s Nina Totenberg. “That senator, whose name I’ve forgotten, is now himself dead, and I am very much alive.”

Touted by CNN as the “face” of the resistance to Trump, some of Ginsburg’s comments in the NPR interview aren’t likely to sit well with the anti-democracy mob including her opposition to the court-packing scheme that has been endorsed by many Democrats including some 2020 presidential candidates.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in an interview Tuesday that she does not favor proposals put forth by some Democratic presidential candidates who have advocated changing the number of Supreme Court justices if the Democrats win the presidency.

Ginsburg, who got herself in trouble criticizing candidate Donald Trump in 2016, this time was critical not of any particular Democratic contender, but of their proposals to offset President Trump’s two conservative appointments to the court.

“Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a long time,” she said, adding, “I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court.”

And horror of horrors – RBG also deviated from rigid leftist dogma to toss a compliment at Trump’s two conservative appointees including Justice Brett Kavanaugh who survived a dastardly smear campaign to take his seat on the bench.

During a speech, she praised Kavanaugh as “a very decent man.”

None of that has to sit well for the rabid left who for the second time in a week, have been crushed by a senior citizen following the disaster of the clearly senile Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony.

To say that the rumors of her demise were greatly exaggerated is an understatement.
