You guys are excited about a Supreme Court justice possibly dying. I would say it’s embarrassing but quite honestly it’s expected. Quite sad as well

Point made

Confirmed her cancer has returned...

I don't wish death on anyone. I hope she recovers and finds peace and comfort.

It's kinda like when the Pope dies. Makes for some excitement.

Although I've never liked her decisions or politics I agree. I don't wish death on even people I vehemently disagree with, although I might make an exception for George Soros. Cancer is a real battle. Trying to battle it while still attempting to work is really tough, especially at her age.

I think what they're excited about is getting a flaming liberal off of the supreme court and replacing with a conservative.

Given the fact that she refuses to resign, it's the only other alternative to get her out.

Notice how we’re only getting these reports after they can say “significant reduction,” not when the new spread is first discovered.

If you don't think power is addictive, look at what she is willing to endure just to hang on to it a few days/weeks more. And consider how vile the democrats are that want her to hold it for them.

If it has recurred, she probably doesn't have long.

Schedule your retirement for December 31st for Christ’s sake. This is officially crazy.

Her law clerks get to play Supreme Court justice behind the scenes.

Rush had a good thought: She's either holding on because she doesn't want a Republican to name her replacement or being a justice is what keeps her going.

Probably both.

No one is "excited" or wishing death on anyone. That's simply a ploy to try to shame people and/or stifle conversation about hypotheticals. Did anyone see Scalia's death coming? Uh, no. Geee, so why weren't we discussing his possible replacement? Cause no one saw it coming, otherwise we would have been.

Side note to all this- Anyone remember the OUTRAGE!!! over the Stone commutation? Yea, neither do I. That all got Goya'd I guess.

Most people who reach the pinnacle of their field really like what they do.

Look at Joe Paterno after the whole Penn State thing went down. I feel for her because she probably loves what she does

She's probably more coherent than Biden these days.

Veep choice! They can call it "American Gothic in 2020!"

I hope she recovers and can resume her duties on the court. Though I seldom agree with her rulings I still believe she is an icon.

nope. Jan 20th, 2021...with the option to change her mind. That's how LIFETIME appointments work.

that said, the Courts don't exactly seem super receptive to Trump as it is, even with his 2 picks sitting.

That si clearly true.

I don't care for her in so many ways, but I will say she is a tough ol' bird.
