Ruth Bader Ginsberg has pancreatic cancer

[bdutton]

I don't wish cancer on anyone no matter their political leanings. Lost my dad to cancer.

 

Hope she beats it.

 

If not, at least she'll go on her own terms.

I don't know that RBG would necessarily agree.

 

And if she doesn't, I respect her choice.

Wait a minute. You don't know that she would agree but if she does, you don't respect her? 

 

You cannot spell compassion without 'u'' Tom.

And for the 20th time or so, why do these people work until they're dead?  Not just judges but many pols too.  They're choice obviously but it sure seems like one's last healthy years can be better enjoyed doing something else. 

 

They don't want to give up the power and prestige of their position.

Don't discount the fact that even people we don't agree with (like RBG) have a passion for what they do and truly feel that they are making a difference.

I have no worries. The court can't venture too far from public opinion without facing a serious backlash 

 

You seriously think the court makes their decisions based on public opinion?  Any judge that uses that as a basis for their decisions should be stripped of their robes.  Your stupidity never disappoints

If we strip any of those 9 we won't be able to unsee it.

I'm not sure which RBG thread I should be posted in. {insert dazed and confused emoji}

Analysis: Justice Ginsburg’s “Bile Duct Stent” – A Treatment Typically Used in Advanced Cases to Provide End of Life Care
 

</snip> (the statement put out)
 

This is important because a biliary stent is only installed if a tumor was large enough to cause blockage of the bile duct from the liver to the intestine.
 

It is typically performed in cases where the patient has cancer on the duct itself and often predicates liver cancer.
 

Again the stent is typically only used in advanced cases and often only surgery is done for early cases:

She's supposed to give a speech at UB this week.  I bet there won't be any pictures of her  in the local media.

...at age 86, one can only hope for the best.....they usually won't use chemo at the age, so radiation is probably the only realistic treatment available....

Liberals believe the President legislates, the courts execute, and the legislature merely advocates.

Very very well said. This is it in nutshell! (By the way, the vast majority of the American public believes this as well.)

Chef, you really cooked up a grade A BS sandwich there. It goes like this:

 

You have an election. 

The person with the most votes becomes president. 

The President makes laws and stuff because he/she is really popular with the people. 

The judge wants to be popular (everyone does) so ipso facto he/she listens to the president. 

The judge then rules by president ipso facto following the popular public opinion of the day. 

Ergo, the court makes their decision based on public opinion. 

 

Democracy Uno Zed Uno.

Any judge (especially with a lifetime appointment) that gives a flying crap about being "popular" should not be on the bench.

Overruled.  I used Ipso Facto and Ergo in laying out my case. Veni vidi vici. 

 

I'm beginning to question whether or not you actually went to law school. ?

He's actually Frank Abagnale Jr. and Carl Hanratty is still trying to figure out how he passed the bar.

Was it a counterfeit check?
