Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery Friday for early stage lung cancer, a Supreme Court spokesperson tells NPR. Doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering hospital in New York performed a lobectomy, removing one the five lobes of the lung.

I don't want to wish this woman ill. I just want here to retire.

And a bio-pic about her just hit the movie theaters this weekend too.

I wouldn’t wish ill health or death on anyone that isn’t truly evil. I’m totally opposed to RBG’s ideology, but she isn’t evil. She and Scalia were buddies, and Scalia, who knew her well, wouldn’t be buds with an evil person.

I won't be sad if she is no longer on the Court, but I wish her no ill health.
It is a problem that the political reality will put pressure on her to remain on the Court even if she cannot actually do her job.

Wishing for her to retire is the same as wishing for her death. You simply can't have one without the other with this woman.
Having said that, I'm wishing for her retirement.

“Scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body.”
Seems odd. Maybe they should try a brain scan.

There is no way reasonably possible, that one can attain the position on the SCOTUS and not be aware that one's state pf mind and physical health is up to the demands of that position.
Either she is mentally unfit to make such an important decision, and therefore the same goes for her ability to weigh and make opinion on the needs of the laws and constitution, judge the actions of the Congress or President, or she is fully cognizant of her maintain her seat in light of her diminished health and stamina, which can also directly have a variable effect on her mental faculties.
That may not be "evil", but it is most selfish and damaging to the third leg of this nation's standing.
I do not want a Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg-McCain. Too many hyphens.

Yeah, she refused Obama's request to retire so she can have her magic moment with Hillary. No way will she retire even "recovering" from lung cancer.
She is gone in 2019. Trump will get his 3rd justice in his first term, an incredible feat for our future lives here in the U.S.

Yeah... It is a problem. She should do the right thing and step down.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

When I think how close we came to having the Dame of Benghazi in a position to do the above -shudder - , I would support setting the anniversary of the 2016 election as a national holiday.
