    She survived lung cancer. She survived pancreatic cancer. She survived colorectal cancer. She will survive Trump cancer. Wait, Trump cancer and colorectal cancer are one in same so she will survive it twice.

    Every major surgical operation of an elderly person measurably diminishes their mental capacity.

    Anyone who has witnessed relatives going through this process knows it's irreversible.

    There is no way this woman should have any power or sway over the lives of 300 million citizens, nearly all of whom have healthier minds and a much firmer grasp on reality.

    Take it up with the Founders, who thought lifetime appointments were a good thing. You aren't doubting the wisdom of the Founders, are you?

    I think life time appointments ridiculous.

    Same here, but if we start doubting the wisdom of the founders on this, we might have to wonder if they also failed to foresee other things.

    I'm elderly and I've had over two dozen surgeries. What are you covfefe-ing? My brain is smocking.

    The average life expectancy back in that period was 35 years old.

    12 year terms would make a lot of since, now.

    Ginsburg is head and shoulders above where trump is at mentally so we have that going for her, but then again, trump knows more about surgeries than the best doctors in the world.

    That figure was the result of a lot of children who either died of disease while young or died during child birth. People who survived childhood usually lived a lot longer than 35.

    I'm satisfied with a lifetime appointment for federal judges and no term limit for Presidents.

    Limiting the President to two terms means us voters do not have the right to select whomever we want to be President unless it's going to be his/her first or second term. If people, egads, want Trump to be President indefinitely, they should have the right to vote for whomever they want including, egads, Trump. Now, excuse me, I feel the need to puke.

    I feel like reaching the point where someone's medical condition is a political tool is a pretty poor place to be.

    Yeah I only said previously that she should have retired a few years ago.

    My 90 year old grandma still mows her 2 acres and nobody can stop her so I get the stubbornness.

    Don't misunderstand me, I wasn't calling anyone out...but in the last decade or so we've seen Ted Kennedy, McCain, Giffords, etc. brought in to vote when they either should still be recovering or on their deathbeds. If they've been voted on I get it, but it just seems poor form to me.

    Certainly not.

    Provisions were wisely made for impeachment of Justices if unable to carry out the duties of the office.
