WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says 85-year-old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fractured three ribs in a fall in her office at the court and is in the hospital.


The court says the justice went to George Washington University Hospital in Washington early Thursday after experiencing discomfort overnight. The court says the fall occurred Wednesday evening.

Ginsburg was admitted to the hospital for treatment and observation after tests showed she fractured three ribs.


Ginsburg broke two ribs in a fall in 2012. She has had two prior bouts with cancer and had a stent implanted to open a blocked artery in 2014.

I hope the top scientists in America take those ribs and create three new Ruth Ginsburgs.

Senate is the one that decides the Court right, and the GOP just won it yes?

I believe the GOP grew their majority in the Senate.

 

[It's HK-47]

This has been an inconceivably busy two days. What in the blue Hell is even happening? Did we fuckin' blow one of the motherboards in the simulation?

 

[Doctor of Autism]

I question how people think they can just donate ribs like it was a kidney.

 

[neverendingmidi]

Eh, she'll sacrifice a couple of infants to her phylactery and be fine tomorrow.

Bet she's really regretting not stepping down under Obama now.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Just die already.

I can't believe she's so full of herself that she hasn't retired yet. Thanks to her selfishness, instead of an Obama selected replacement, now we're very likely to have another Trump selection.

Thank God for big egos.

I hope she'll be okay. The last thing we need now is another Supreme Court nominee shitshow.

It's her own fault. Bitch should have resigned years ago.

 

[User names must be unique]

What totally convenient timing.

Senate is the one that decides the Court right, and the GOP just won it yes?

Yeah Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are sneaking around playing all sorts of pranks, Vaseline on her office floor, tying her shoelaces together and replacing her lifeline alert pendant with a tamagotchi

 

[CoolGuyHitler]

I wonder what horrible rapist Trump will appoint this time?

I wish Bill Clinton applies and gets nominated. It'll be hilarious watching the left go completely silent.

 

[Cubanodun]

If there was a another shitshow like the one with Kavanaugh I would need a extra shovel for the salt, imagine if Trump out of spite nominate a woman, are the Democrats going to find a old man to testify that he was raped by her ?

 

[Leibowitz]

All those witches casting hexes and pronouncing curses against Trump and Kavanaugh can't compete with meme magic.

 

[Cast Away]

All those witches casting hexes and pronouncing curses against Trump and Kavanaugh can't compete with meme magic.

They forgot that this IS the 21st century

I would like to nominate Amul Thapar for next supreme court judge.

He is tough — he once threw an 84-year-old nun in prison for breaking into a uranium enrichment plant and defacing it by splashing a storage bunker with human blood.

He is whip-smart. And he is a darling of the Federalist Society, the conservative intellectuals who promote the notion that laws and the Constitution should be interpreted as written.

Thapar’s father, Raj Thapar, who owns a heating and air-conditioning supply business in Toledo, Ohio, says his son is so conservative that he “nearly wouldn’t speak to me after I voted for Barack Obama.”

Paul Salamanca, a right-leaning law professor at the University of Kentucky who plays poker with Thapar, described him as a reliable conservative who believes, as Scalia once wrote, “that the rule of law is the law of rules.”

Even at the poker table, where Salamanca says Thapar is a “phenomenal” player, he is a strict constructionist; when Salamanca won a hand and didn’t realize it, Thapar insisted he take the pot.

He is a colorful writer with a keen sense of history who liberally sprinkles his opinions with pop culture references, from “Casablanca” to “Back to the Future” and from Oliver Wendell Holmes to Sherlock Holmes.

“Unlike many judges, he tries to make his opinions interesting,” Wicker said.

Brickman says he has a low tolerance for “typos,” sloppy thinking or lawyers who show up late for court.

“He had me do a closing argument at 7:30 in the morning and said don’t be there at 7:31,” attorney Ned Pillersdorf said.

In his most famous case, as a visiting judge in Tennessee, he tried three peace protesters in 2014 who exposed serious security flaws when they broke into the Y-12 National Security Complex near Oak Ridge, which holds the nation’s primary supply of bomb-grade uranium. Among other things, they strung up crime scene tape and splashed baby bottles of human blood on the wall.

They were convicted of sabotage and other charges and Thapar sentenced them all to prison, including Megan Rice, the Roman Catholic nun, whom he ordered to serve 35 months. Thapar said they showed no remorse and that he wanted to deter other activists from breaking the law.

And in what Above the Law called a “doozy of an opinion,” he wrote a ruling for an appellate panel that reversed the fraud convictions of three Miami Beach nightclub owners who used beguiling Eastern European “bar girls” to lure clients in for overpriced champagne and exotic drinks.

Thapar wrote that the jury should have been instructed on the difference between deception and criminal fraud, which he explained through a hypothetical:

Suppose a young woman “asks a rich businessman to buy her a drink at Bob’s Bar,” Thapar said. “The businessman buys the drink, and afterward the young woman decides to leave. Did the man get what he bargained for? Yes. He received his drink, and he had the opportunity to buy one for a young woman. But if Bob had promised to pour the man a glass of Pappy Van Winkle but gave him a slug of Old Crow instead, that would be fraud,” Thapar explained.

He said the family urged his son to become a physician, but that Amul had only one dream — to become a Supreme Court justice.

Raja said he complained to his son that he didn’t study enough in high school, “but he showed me his report card and it was all As.” He also was chess champion and captain of the golf team.

In California, he worked in Oakland with street gangs in a program designed to help them come to understand and respect the law, federal Judge Arthur Spiegel, for whom Thapar later clerked, told the Kentucky Post for a profile. Later, in Cincinnati, where he served as a law clerk for another federal judge as well, and as an assistant U.S. attorney, he worked in a Street Law program that tried to empower people, mostly the poor, by teaching them about the law.

Kavanaugh strikes again!

 

[Graffiti canvas]

Amazing that Trump's legacy will be replacing 33% of the SCOUTS with new members of the Religious Right.

 

[Unpleasant]

If there was a another shitshow like the one with Kavanaugh I would need a extra shovel for the salt, imagine if Trump out of spite nominate a woman, are the Democrats going to find a old man to testify that he was raped by her ?

Amy Barrett is one of the frontrunners on his previously released list. She's a conservative female with a clown car full of children and two adopted haitian kids.

I hope the top scientists in America take those ribs and create three new Ruth Ginsburgs.

If that's how God made women, is this how we'll actually create the legitimate 3rd gender?

 

[Judge Holden]

"All according to keikaku," Trump muttered with a sly grin.

"w...where are you taking me President Trump?"
"to the one true enemy of the great Justice Ginsburg"

 

[AprilRains]

I hope she'll be okay. The last thing we need now is another Supreme Court nominee shitshow.

You don't want a drama shitgasm?

What site do you think you're on, again?

[Ptolemy]

She won't need those ribs. If she does croak then the Democrats will just stuff her corpse anyhow and seat her on the bench
