I wish her well and a long life. To do otherwise for political reasons is unconscionable.
Good and true thoughts!

My bet? She will announce her retirement this year in an effort to galvanize the left for the election. They know she won’t last another 4 years, so it will be a political tool to get out the vote.

That would be a bad move since the GOP controls the Senate. That's the only reason it worked in 2016.

I think LD means announce her intention to retire in 2021. That would make it even more obvious to apathetic Democrats how important the election is.

@George-K Is that pretty common to do like they make it sound?
Maybe, but anybody in their high 80's, I think that any surgery can be risky.

No kidding. Not sure who is tougher, RGB or a cinder block.

I'm the wrong person to ask - bachophile would know a lot better.
But, my limited experience with this sort of thing indicates cause for concern. Add the fact that she's been undergoing chemoRx for the last 3 months...

Biliary stents are replaced every so often. They can become blocked with sludge and cause cholangitis. So to answer your question, doing an ERCP to switch a stent is not that uncommon.

In theory. The senate might have to change their rules.
He has to nominate and the senate has to approve. I think it's only Senate rules that would prevent that from happening in rapid succession. And the Senate is GOP controlled.
Only non-witches get due process.

If she'd die or step down tomorrow (or in the next few weeks), could Trump replace her before the election?

Short answer, yes. The word is that the short list has been selected and vetted. Since Dingy Harry changed the rules, the Murder Turtle could probably get a new Justice through in 30 days.

Wasn't the GOP that shoved through a new set of rules, podnuh. They're just playing to win by the rules they were given.
Which is why the Senate leans (or should lean) so heavily on tradition. The Dems nuked the nomination process with Bork, refined it with Thomas and now I don't give a damn if they die of apoplexy during a rushed process.
Trump could nominate Jesus Christ, and there would be at least 40 Democrats vote against him.

So far there has been no reason to criticize his appointments. They have been very much what a justice should be - impartial.

Didn't Mitch McConnell refuse to countenance an Obama appointee close to the election, as it would be inappropriate?
The idea that the GOP have more principles than the DEMs is very amusing and everything, but guys, nobody important cares what we write - a little honesty is in order here.
I was only joking

Yes, he did. And as Jolly points out, he was playing by the rules of the Senate. The majority makes the rules.
Was it wrong? I'm of mixed thought on that.
Would it be hypocritical now? Sure.
