RBG: "I am alive"

"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Saturday that her work on the Supreme Court has 'kept me going' through four bouts of cancer — including one disclosed quite recently — and that she is 'n my way to being very well.' The Supreme Court said Aug. 23 that Ginsburg had completed a three-week course of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy — a highly focused treatment that concentrates an intense dose of radiation on a tumor — after a malignancy was discovered on her pancreas. It was the second treatment for cancer in nine months for Ginsburg, who at 86 is the court’s oldest member and leader of its liberal wing. Ginsburg had a portion of her left lung removed in December, and in past decades was treated for colon and pancreatic cancer. She broke ribs in a fall in November. But before a roaring crowd of what organizers said was more than 4,000 at the National Book Festival in the District, she declared: “This audience can see that I am alive.” link

Dear Justice Ginsburg:

Just 16 more months, until January 3, 2020. That's all we need from you. Then, when the Democrats take control of the Senate, and while Donald Trump is packing his duffel bag up at 1600 Penn, feel free to retire from the Court and take care of your health--or stay for a while longer. The only thing we absolutely need from you is to hold on until the current Trump-McConnell scourge ends. In 17 short months. If there's anything we can do to help, just call on us, and millions will volunteer.

Sincerely yours,

America
