She's sick with a gallstone related infection.

I had a hunch you'd be the first posting this, you disingenuous bastard.

Now tell everyone how you truly feel.

I've got ten bucks that says if Ginsberg does go to that great judges' chamber in the sky, Trump will have a replacement nominated and his pack of lap-dogs in the Senate will have him (there's no way Trump would EVER nominate a woman!) approved before the dirt has settled over her grave — despite the "we can't approve anybody in an election year" precedent they set when they stonewalled Obama's appointment of Merrick Garland in 2016.

But the Democrats — and anyone else who believes that the Supreme Court should not become another rubber-stamp in the hands of a party of neo-fascists — should make every effort to put up that roadblock at any opportunity that presents itself.

I agree with the outcome with the exception that Trump will appoint a woman. You say the next appointee will be a man. I say it will be a woman. Bet?

Justice Ginsberg is too tough to make this more than an "academic" discussion. Agree with her or not on judicial interpretation (and noting her occasional intemperate remarks), she's shown herself to be resilient and full of grit. My bet is that her replacement will be chosen by the person elected in November, which, of course, could be the same person sitting there now.

I'm just giving you a heads up, Ray.

The blockage could signal a return of pancreatic cancer. I wanted to check that possibility before responding.

There's no way to get an endoscope into that duct to check. I could post medical opinions from a couple of doctors that have been involved with those cases. I know you'd rather I not waste your time. So I won't.

I believe that prayer sometimes works. Whether you choose to add yours is your decision.

Thank you, Dr. Darren, for giving us your diagnosis straight up. You're always on the front line caring for us.

On the other hand, I sensed yet another good ol' Darren political pivot. (re. obfuscation)

You, me, and everyone else in here knows your OP was to highlight that RBG was experiencing yet another health crisis, possibly causing death as an end result. Unfortunately, as a confirmed Big Grifter ass licker, you were giddy with glee hearing this news and we all knew it.

You needed to make sure that 'we the people' in this forum would then get all worried and fearful that our acting president, the Orange Mussolini, would then be in position to nominate, and the Senate to confirm, yet another SCOTUS prior to November 3rd.

Well, it's apparent you've been foiled again. Damn!

I have to give the credit to RBG as a four time cancer survivor including two times with pancreatic cancer. The woman among other attributes is a medical marvel.

I never root for the end of a record run. More power to her and them. She's had a string of home runs each time she's come up to bat.

She had a gallstone - common as the day is long, not linked to gallbladder cancer which is exceedingly rare.

And fuck you Darren for wishing her dead, you POS.
