    No one will trigger the left more than Amy Barrett - ultra conservative, very religious (catholic) pro-life mother of five and an eminently qualified constitutional scholar. The left will savage her exponentially worse than they did Kavanaugh, yet she is easily confirmed by the new more Republican, purged of never-Trumpers Senate.

    She is the left's absolute worst nightmare.

    Better than ever for Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg is a low bar to jump over.

    Hopefully RGB gets better.
    I don't know who Trump has in the bullpen, but I am sure someone has already claimed to have been raped by him (or her) .

    I think she's a fine pick.

    Early on I liked Condi Rice for the job. I still do. But she probably wouldn't accept it.

    Being a lawyer/judge is not required, and I think a little professional diversity would be a great thing.

    Setting politics aside because they have no place here in my opinion, I truly wish her a speedy and successful recovery!

    On a personal level my mom's around the same age and recently fell suffering similar injuries which very nearly killed her and I wish Ruth the best. On a political level I am salivating at another Trump appointment to the Supremes and relishing the fact that Republicans gained seats in the Senate. This is a huge opportunity!

    How is it that some people automatically need to call people they don't like crooks? Does it make them feel not so small?

    All true, and speaking for myself I do wish her well. She and Scalia were best of friends. What a pair. Now anyone here does have to admit when you see her in her robes it is a bit comical so please lefties allow us to poke fun in her/your direction. Just pretend we are malcontent lefties for a day.

    Gravity always wins in the end over mankind, but let's not rush it.

    I don't think I'll see eighty-five, but if I do I'll still want to see another sunrise.

    one thing's for sure, she won't be able to 'nod off' in her normal slumped forward position with those broken ribs, so sitting up at the bench won't be happening for a while... rest assured, if she does manage to go to 'work', it would only happen with lots of dilaudid and then her rulings would be under extreme scrutiny, so imo she won't be back for a while...

    I haven't looked at her comments or opinions; I have no idea where her cognizance of issues and her judgment stands. I've known people at her age who were pretty sharp- after all Warren Buffet is 84 and sharp as ever. However, when Buffet sits down at the desk in front of 40,000 shareholders at the annual meeting and answers direct questions for 6 hours, you don't see him nodding off. I can't remember a video or picture of Ginsberg recently where she wasn't. I would prefer that our justices were all running on all cylinders, so I think there is a reasonable question of condition here. It is somewhat comical, but seriously inappropriate for a SC justice to be unable to stay focused on the task at hand.

    Best of friends for sure! They understood the difference between judicial opinions and how to be human beings and even though they were on opposite sides almost always on those opinions, they found a way to be true friends to each other. In my opinion, Antonin Scalia was one of the greatest judicial minds of our time and many believe the same of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I respect those who have that opinion!

    That's awful. We don't wish her ill will, nothing but a speedy recovery and minimal pain.

    No, as has been expressed previously, you trumpettes want her off the court so Dirty Donnie can appoint another right-wing fanatic.

    I don't have an issue with clarity.

    Sure you do, if it will achieve your ends. It matters not to the right so long as they get what they want. They know what is good and moral and right for the entire country.
