Ginsburg, 86, began experiencing the symptoms on Friday. She went to a hospital in Washington before being transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for more evaluations, the court said.
The court said on Saturday that the justice’s symptoms have abated after antibiotics and fluids and that was expected to be released from the hospital the following day.
Herein lies the ultimate issue here. Ginsburg is now being admitted to the hospital for symptoms that would generally be treated by over the counter medication and rest. At least that is how it would be treated for a normal healthy person that is not 86 years old.
Most of us have have loved ones grow old. We have all witnessed the deterioration of health to the degree that more and more care is needed, eventually leading to some sort of assisted care, or even nursing home care. There comes a time when normal day to day activities will need to be monitored and special treatment must be made available.
While none of this is uncommon for people in their mid-late eighties, you will also not see very many people living in assisted living who hold down any sort of job, much less a Supreme Court Judgeship. Now, quite obviously someone like Ginsburg has the resources to hire health aids, have much of what she would need be available at her home.
But does this change the optics that we would have someone with these sorts of health concerns sitting on the USSC. If this wasn't a partisan situation, which all sorts of political repercussions, I think everyone involved would say it would be best for her to step down.

Jane, what good does it do to get Trade agreements when Palsy will not vote on them, against the will of her Fellow Democrats ?
"Rep. Axne’s (Democratic)
comments follow as a recent Emerson College poll found that only six percent of Iowa voters say that impeachment is the most important issue.
The freshman Democrat also explained that House Democrats “are very close to” passing the USMCA through Congress’ lower chamber."
Try answering on your own Jane, ole girl.
"Thanksgiving is set to gobble up a smaller part of the family budget this year.
The cost of a traditional Thanksgiving feast for 10 will be $48.91, according to the American Farm Bureau’s annual survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table. That’s up just one penny from last year’s average of $48.90."
The Three Socialist Stooges of CHT get yet another one wrong.

Americans Double Down On Views of Impeachment
November 25, 2019 at 2:39 pm EST
“Days of televised impeachment hearings have left Americans largely dug into their original opinions, a new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds, dashing Democrats’ hopes that the testimony might finally splinter the president’s base of support and Republicans’ predictions that the hearings would backfire on their opponents.
“The public is nearly evenly split on whether Trump should be removed from office, the survey found, with 45% saying he should and 42% that he should not. That’s nearly identical to the results of a survey taken a week earlier, and within the range of 44% to 48% shown in HuffPost/ YouGov polling since September.”
Trump's Defenders Embrace Nihilism

Benjamin Wittes and Quinta Jurecic:
“In the absence of any prospect of a sufficient bloc of Republicans voting to remove the president, it’s easy to write off the impeachment process as meaningless. It’s not.
"Done properly, the House’s amassing of a record and the Senate’s trial of the president will create a vivid account of Trump’s abuses of power and criminality on the national stage. It will force Republicans to shackle themselves to those abuses in support of the president.
"The stakes of whether a majority of voting Americans will vote for a party that has done so—or at least a majority in the states necessary to swing the Electoral College—are high. But a Senate trial of the president will pose the matter to the electorate with the starkness it deserves.
“It will make Senate Republicans cast a vote for the proposition ‘LOL nothing matters —thereby enabling the 2020 electorate to evaluate nihilism as the governing philosophy of a political movement.”
Trump: I am backing ‘war fighters’ in SEAL case
As opposed to trading AWOL deserters for terrorists
Oh dear! Trump just fell a little on the RealClearPolitics aggregate (from -8 to -9)
-- and he even went from -7 to -11 on THE RASMUSSEN!!!!
Where is that bounce the hearings were supposed to give him?

Wikipedia is evil and protects pedophiles
Rodney Reed raped and murdered Stacey Stites. There’s very little room for debate here. In fact, there’s absolutely none. Wikipedia editors aren’t convinced. In fact, they’re so unconvinced that a group of elite editors removed all of Rodney Reeds criminal history from the website, including references to his DNA being found on victims in other instances of sexual assault.
We rephrase: Rodney Reed bound, gagged, beat, and orally, anally, and vaginally raped a 12-year-old girl, his DNA from that incident was matched with DNA found on Stacey Stites, and Wikipedia editors removed that information.

@TweetBrettMac
Wikipedia editors removed every reference to Rodney Reed's criminal history—including his DNA being found on a 12 year old rape victim—just days before Shaun King, Kim Kardashian, and Oprah Winfrey petitioned for a stay of execution.
The stay was granted.

but as long as mr. reed votes democrat, that horrifying litany of crimes is forgiven.
James supports Rodney Reed.
Done properly, the House’s amassing of a record and the Senate’s trial of the president will create a vivid account of Trump’s abuses of power and criminality on the national stage.
Well James... so far it must not have been done "properly" because the entire impeachment fiasco is bleeding support right now like a sieve.
Like the billboards being put up in right leaning districts telling Republicans that they vote for Impeachment, ironically at the exact time that the very independent voters who are going to decide the next election are running away from impeachment.
Talk about out of touch!
Keep digging that hole.
If you keep digging, you are bound to find your way out!
