Ruth Bader Ginsburg Says She Has ‘At Least 5 More Years’ On The Supreme Court

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg” was trending on Twitter Sunday night, and liberals across the internet panicked.

“My heart stopped for a moment,” tweeted writer Wajahat Ali.

Dedicated RBG fans feared the worst. They refused to look up the news. They prayed. They offered their kidneys.

“I was on my way to the hospital to donate all my organs,” wrote another fan. “Please be alive, please be alive, please be alive. . .,” tweeted another.

Ginsburg is very much alive, and that the news was that she does not plan on stepping down anytime soon. She said so during a speaking appearance Sunday following a performance in New York of “The Originalist,” a play about the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

“I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said, 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.”

Is predicting one’s life span among the many powers of a Supreme Court justice? Perhaps not. But Ginsburg’s declaration brought relief to liberal fans who have been obsessing over her health since the beginning of the Trump administration.

To her supporters, Ginsburg does in some ways appear to be an invincible superhero. She has survived both colon and pancreatic cancer. Her widely-publicized regular exercise routine, known as the “RBG workout,” includes push-ups, planks and arm curls. Asked about her health in the recent documentary “RBG,” the Supreme Court justice says “she’s proud of keeping herself in shape to do this job.”

Asked last year if she was contemplating retirement, she said, “as long as I can do the job full steam, I will do it.” She has also reportedly hired law clerks through 2020, sending the message that she plans on sticking around.

But there are also those video clips of Ginsburg nodding off during the State of the Union address. She is already five years past the average retirement age of the past 11 justices, and is three years older than retiring justice Anthony Kennedy. As a presidential candidate, Trump responded to her public criticism of him by calling on her to resign, tweeting that her “mind is shot.” The president also reportedly predicted he would appoint four Supreme Court justices in his first term.

    • PM Ariel Sharon is a good example of this. He said exactly what Ginsburg said and we all know what happened to him after his expulsion of 9,000 Jews.

      • She might be right. The ugly despicable rodent might be enjoying her longevity in this worls, so when she finally kicks the bucket, she’ll go straight to gehenom. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

  1. Let’s pray this vicious anti Torah devil kicks the bucket. We need only conservative judges who will save America from Toeiva.

  2. “On…way to the hospital to donate all…organs”. These nutcases keep going further and further out of their minds!

  3. …….Elloh Shebchol Dor V’Dor….Omdim Oleinu L’Chaloseinu……………V’H’Boruch Hu Matzeilanu M’yodom!

  4. why not daven that she steps down from the court to spend more time learning about her heritage in neve or some similar fine institution. didnt bruria tell rebbe meir its chataim not chotim. there has to be someone out there who can ignite the pintele yid inside her. and while we are at it, say a tfilah for kagan and souter as well

  5. These three jewish judges are JINOs. Jewish in name only. They have corrupted the world by legalizing gay marriage. The Midrash bereshis 26-5 tells us the flood of Noach came because of such same gender marriages. In a way these three are worse than the nazis who killed millions because these evil judges are putting every human in the world in danger. Not every human but those living big in countries that legalize such behavior.
