It's fun when someone says that to you then to ask them for money!!!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:  Hearing them stammer and stutter is pretty funny.   :geekdanc: :geekdanc: :geekdanc:
Haha.  I didn't go there.  A few buddies and family came over with food and stuff.  Had one girl that I had been dating offer to do laundry.  But no requests $$$. 

Well, I could use some ammo. . .  ;D

I'm not hoping that RBG bites the dust but I do think she needs to retire and should have retired years ago.  The absolute best pick to replace her would be Amy Coney Barrett, not just because of her judicial record but because the Left would further alienate the centrists that still vote Democrat by viciously and unjustly attacking her.
"The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized."

With her last breath RBG will say "Just five more years....".

You are much more confident than I that people voting Democrat can be alienated, by anything, from being Democrats. I suspect that a mob could drag Coney-Barrett out of the confirmation hearing and string her up on the Lady Justice statue and most Dems would shrug and say "She deserved it. She supported Trump."

I just want to see the look on liberals faces when Trump gets another SCOTUS pick.

Even though I would love to see her retire and Trump get another SC nomination, there is no way in hell the DNC would allow her to.

We have the senate majority larger now after midterms. That was trumps plan. We were almost guaranteed to lose the house. So he focused on the senate seats.

Also Amy Barrett is next in line. Liberals will have a hard time attacking a female judge.

As a rule I don't wish for humans to suffer.
I don't believe Democrats count as humans
but that is my personal problem.
Spray some water on RBG and she will melt.
Dig out the beer and popcorn it will be a good
Senate nomination hearing for her replacement.

Will this lead to her retirement?  Id imagine it'll be hard for her to recover from this at 85 years old and force her into retirement.  A new SCOTUS appointment could seal the deal on CCW/open carry.

Justice Ginsburg hospitalized after fracturing ribs in fall

I wouldn't hold my breath. The only real disqualifying thing would be if her mind started to go. As long as her mind is sharp it would be hard to justify demanding she step down because she is in a wheel chair or is physically disabled.

I am all for another conservative (a real conservative) seat on the SCOTUS for future gun law cases but it seems with the loss of the house congress has dropped the ball on any pro-gun legislation.

Oh, so now you have a medical degree?   :wacko:

She has THREE fractured ribs.

Cracked ribs make it hard to draw a full, deep breath.

At 85, she's now very susceptible to pneumonia, in large part due to her limited breathing capacity.  And pneumonia in most people her age has a high mortality rate.

So, NO.  "Her mind going" is not "the only  real disqualifying thing" that might cause her to retire.

I can FULLY attest to that.  Even with separated ribs, it was really tough to take a deep breath and painful to even sit up let alone get out of bed.  I separated my ribs at a judo tournament my freshman year in HS.  Luckily, it was the OIA finals (no state competition back then).  But, I came down with a cold and the next week was hell!  Each sneeze and cough felt like someone was stabbing me in the ribs!  When I had cracked ribs when I was older, I expected it to be worse, but I guess it wasn't as bad as I didn't come down with a cold.

Justice Ginsburg 'up and working' after breaking ribs, nephew says

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-film-ruth-bader-ginsburg/justice-ginsburg-up-and-working-after-breaking-ribs-nephew-says-idUSKCN1NE0XO

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is “up and working” and making jokes after being hospitalized with rib fractures, her nephew said on Thursday at the premiere of a new movie about her early career fighting for women’s equality.

Daniel Stiepleman, who wrote the script for the film “On the Basis of Sex” about his aunt’s work as a young lawyer, with input from the justice herself, told Reuters the 85-year-old Ginsburg was “doing great.”

“The last I heard she was up and working, of course, because what else would she be doing, and cracking jokes,” he said. “I can’t promise they were good jokes but they were jokes.”

“The last I heard she was up and working, of course, because what else would she be doing, and cracking jokes,” he said. “I can’t promise they were good jokes but they were jokes.”

To be clear, it's really difficult to tell the difference between her "working" and "taking a nap"...

I agree it is a good time for her to retire, recovery will be much easier if she doesn't have to come to work.

However the only real thing that would necessitate her being removed is if she were to lost her mental faculties. She could show up like Stephen Hawking and still fulfill her role. As long as her mind is working find there is no valid reason we demand her step down. If she wants to risk pneumonia that is her choice, not ours.
