Did the infamous baby killer RBG voted against Trump from her death bed?
Supreme Court Injustice
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, underwent surgery Friday, Dec. 21, 2018 to remove two malignant nodules
from her left lung, the Supreme Court said. So when did she have surgery and
when was she was released from the hospital.
It said she was “resting comfortably” after the
surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and there
was no evidence of any remaining disease.
“Currently, no
further treatment is planned,” the court said in a statement.
Ginsburg, the eldest
member of the court and the senior justice of its liberal wing, underwent a
pulmonary lobectomy. Two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung were
discovered incidentally during tests she received while being treated for rib
fractures sustained in a fall last month. Both nodules were found to be malignant during an
initial evaluation.
Sloan Kettering on
its website describes a lobectomy as the
most common operation for non-small
cell lung cancer. It is the best treatment for “isolated lung cancer in
an otherwise healthy patient,” according to the hospital.
Ginsburg was
recovering from three rib fractures she sustained after falling in her office
on Nov. 7. On Saturday, she told an audience in New York that she was “almost
repaired” and had returned to doing her full workouts with her physical trainer
after initially limiting her workouts to her lower body. Ginsburg did not miss any oral
arguments because of her injury………. (She was stuffed by a taxidermist
and placed upright in her chair like the old Communist leaders Brezhnev and
Kosygin)
Ginsburg has quickly
recovered from a number of health issues in recent years. The former ACLU “baby
killer” has survived multiple bouts with cancer, and in 2014 underwent a
procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.
The justice’s health
is a matter of intense public concern because her retirement would likely
enable President Donald Trump to name her replacement. Trump has named two
justices to the bench, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The last president to nominate
more than two justices to the bench was Ronald Reagan, who nominated three.
Ginsburg, who was
appointed to the court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, becoming the second
female on the top court’s bench.
The nine-member court
is divided 5-4 among Republican and Democratic nominees. A sixth justice
nominated by a Republican would further cement the bench’s conservative
majority, with possible ramifications on a slew of contentious legal issues the
top court may review in coming terms, including reproductive rights.
The court is in
recess and is not scheduled to reconvene until Jan. 4, when the justices will
meet for a private conference. The next oral arguments are scheduled for Jan.
7.
The full release is
below:
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent a
pulmonary lobectomy today at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York
City. Two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung were discovered
incidentally during tests performed at George Washington University Hospital to
diagnose and treat rib fractures sustained in a fall on November 7. According
to the thoracic surgeon, Valerie W. Rusch both nodules removed during surgery
were found to be malignant on pathology evaluation. Post-surgery, there was no
evidence of any remaining disease. Scans performed before surgery indicated no
evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Currently, no further treatment is
planned. Injustice
Ginsburg is resting comfortably and is expected to remain in the hospital for a
few days.
If
Ginsburg had surgery yesterday then how in the hell did she vote on the Supreme Court?
