Notorious RBG In Hospital After Losing A Fight With Gravity
2018-11-08
"I've fallen, and I can't get up!"
[Zero Hedge] - 85-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has reportedly been hospitalized after fracturing three ribs in fall at court.

She went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning, according to emailed statement from Supreme Court.

As a reminder, Ginsburg broke two ribs in a fall in 2012, has had two prior bouts with cancer, and had a stent implanted to open a blocked artery in 2014.

We would imagine the 'Left' is about to start panicking since the GOP's gains in the Senate during the Midterms will ease any SCOTUS nominees going forward (heaven forbid).

#14  Brezhnev lasted a good decade in very ill health, was brought back from near death several times, and finally died. RBG ... may profit from his example.

#8  I hope she has the wit and wisdom to retire gracefull.... What am I saying? She will be trying to hold onto her position from the ICU out of partisan impulses and pure personal vanity.

#5  Ginsburg broke two ribs in a fall in 2012, has had two prior bouts with cancer, and had a stent implanted to open a blocked artery in 2014.

Reads like she has been on life support for several years. Ginsburg says she will hang on until the end in an article Mrs. JohnQC read.

#4  While I do not wish harm on her, I do have to wonder if she will make it the next 6 years while Trump is in office.

#3  She may be the exception to my belief that when one is one the floor grasping for breath, one does not say "Please Lord, just one more day of work".

#2  I blame a sedentary lifestyle. I recommend 10k marathons and a new hobby.
