Justice Ginsburg taken ill, absent from Supreme Court

[NBCNews] Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was absent on Wednesday for courtroom argument in two cases.

Chief Justice John Roberts announced that Ginsburg was "indisposed due to illness," a statement similar to the one he made on the first day of the term, Oct. 7, when Justice Clarence Thomas was absent with what a court official said was the flu.

The same court official said Wednesday that Justice Ginsburg was "home with a stomach bug."

The health of Ginsburg, 86, has been a subject of intense interest since she underwent surgery last winter for lung cancer and treatment over the summer for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas.

#4 And here we have yet another reason for the impeachment.

The Democrat party, in conjunction with Proggies everywhere, will have a massive stroke if PDJT gets to seat another Supreme Court Justice.

Something about the Lords of the Copy Book, I believe.

#6 Last couple of times the initial reports downplayed the severity of her illness.

#7 I do hope she holds on until after the election to avoid the 'you can't appoint in the final year' nonsense.

#8 Democrats: 'you can't appoint in the final year'.
Trump "Impeach me".

#10 re #7: I believe the "No appointments in the last year" only applies if the Senate is controlled by the opposite party. Since Republicans control both the Senate and the White House, it doesn't apply.
