#1 All the more reason to retire and go fishing.

#2 Ginsburg decoded: " I see it as my totally impartial, totally nonpartisan sworn duty to hang onto my position as long as any Republican Fascist [*Gasp* Wheeze! Drool]... *ahem* ... until after the 2020 Elections."

#5 She'll still be drawing full pay, allowances, reviewing briefs, and nodding semi-coherently while in hospice.

#6 Here's the actual medical quote:
"The tumor was treated definitively and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body," the statement said. "Justice Ginsburg will continue to have periodic blood tests and scans. No further treatment is needed at this time."

Treated definitively means that they executed their planned treatment.
No evidence of disease elsewhere means other than the tumor.

Nuance on the reporting leads one to believe that she is cancer free which she may not be.
There is also the issue of the stent...usually done as part of pallative care.

#7 So what the article is saying is she is "stable".

#8 I’m on my way to being very well

#9 She is used to deeming things to be the way she feels. Nature may have something to say about this, however.

#10 I'm sure she'll feel quite well as long as she can get enough oxycodone.

I'm all in favor of anybody fighting cancer and that includes Ginsburg. I think it's great any time doctors can find new and effective treatments for this dreaded disease.

But she really should retire.

#11 Res Ipsa Locutur...
Her very actions imply two things: (1) She has become a Partisan Actor and should recuse herself; and (2) If Partisanship in the US Supreme Court is the "New Normal" then we should rethink what place it has in the government.

#12 She really ought to step down.

We should not have people in any profession - legal, medical, academic, whatever - clinging to their posts when they are obviously at the end of their lives.

#13 Good for her. A strong woman, in a sea of ditzes really. If her work is that important to her, I'm sure she carries a cross of her own. And you need power from on high to cheat death for so long, so she may be an idealist God favors.

#14 But there should be a term limit/retirement age. Just saying.

#15 I admire her and agree with you, Dron.

But no one is immortal. Everyone needs to respect time and fate.

She needs to step down, for the good of the country and the health of our institutions.

#16 I hope Trump started vetting successors for her. More than vetting, they need to be the type only he has leverage over. That is is the problem. We want people who can't be compromised, but also will bend to our will. People like Ginsburg can't be found from the current crop I think.

#19 ^ I have always loved that line from Night Court.

#20 if she believed what she just said she would probably not say it for fear that saying so would jinx her chances of recovery.
I am afraid that she is on her way to the sure cure for all diseases.
