Ginsburg says she has at least 5 more years on Supreme Court
By Emily Birnbaum - 07/29/18 07:39 PM EDT

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Sunday said she hopes to remain on the high court for at least five more years, according to CNN.

"My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years," 85-year-old Ginsburg said at an event in New York City.

Speculation over the future of the Supreme Court has mounted in recent weeks following President Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, who would replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Kavanaugh's confirmation would sway the balance of the court for years to come.

I sure hope she's wrong. Five more days is too much.

I'll say only that she'll be in my prayers.  As for the exact nature of those prayers, well ...

Seems that Anthony Scallia's pillow is not being used
and Ruth likes to nap.

Mrs Scallia could send the pillow along.

Such arrogance.   I think she just jinxed herself.  I'd give her another year, maybe two (at the most).

Five more years at 98.6 degrees, or five more at room temperature? More detail required.

Not sure if there is a distinction.  Her minority opinions are DOA.

Colon cancer stage 2 in 1999, pancreatic cancer stage 1 (maybe) 2009, and cardiac surgery for stent in 2014 in right coronary artery. RBG- I don't like your odds for 5 more years.

What a coinky-dink!  Five years is the perfect length of time to keep President Trump from nominating her successor!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Good point.

Also, her chair is apparently much more friendly/comfortable for napping than mine is, so she's got that going for her as well.
