IKR? She's a cat woman.

I'm guessing she doesn't pay for her own health care. There would be some justice if she had Obamacare insurance that she paid for out of her own pocket.

Better remove all lobes, just to be sure.

Saw what you did there

I don't know her personally but she has dedicated how many years to public service? That has to be worth something. I don't get the ill will toward her.

I wish her the best, in RETIREMENT!

For starters she serves only the leftists not the public...ugh.. I can explain it for you but I can't understand it for you.

My understanding is that the clerks to a justice have a lot of power. They can control the information, write opinions and such. No doubt her loyal staff is covering any deficiencies she has. When she’s out of the bubble, such as at the state of the union address, her frailties can be seen

This is a real problem, if true. How do we know these clerks are complying with and conveying her wishes? It also raises the question of whether she is even capable of forming wishes.

Yeah, I read somewhere that Obama did the same thing, too. So, for all the commies that continue to try to destroy this great country, I say, they can all go to hell.

Holding a government job is not the same thing as public service.

RBG has used her position of power to advance an ideology, twisting the Constitution beyond recognition in the process. She has broken SCOTUS norms by being an outspoken political activist.

I don't wish cancer or ill health on anyone, but I will be happy when she leaves the court, no matter how it happens.

About a decade too many.

Cuz RBG is a flaming leftist that considers the constitution to be an obstacle to be overcome.

She should have left with her napping-head hanging in utter shame after falling asleep during the State of the Union and other times. She's rumored to be a snorer on the court and has been known to fall asleep during oral arguments while court is in session.

I'm sorry-not-sorry, but that's literally inexcusable at that level. I don't give a fuck who you are, if you can't even stay awake at such events you have zero business in any high profile job whatsoever. Have some dignity and retire already...

She's had a long and distinguished career and should enjoy the rest of her days in retirement.

The ill will comes from an appreciation of life, liberty and the founding principles. Those who admire her either do so out of ignorance or complicity.

Yeah, you kinda have to understand the difference between public office as a burden of responsibility or a position of priviledge. I don't think she ever quite grasped the difference given her impulses to personally be "transformative" in a creative way rather than being just.

I assert that it is essentially impossible (or: statistically unlikely) for anyone to consistently maintain the correct perspective (of service rather than privilege) when awarded a job for life, a job of extraordinary power and influence, a job you basically can't be fired from, a job where much of your work is hidden behind closed doors and armed guards...

It's a system nearly designed to fail, in that sense. It's amazing it works as well as it does, which in all fairness is quite well overall. Obviously I don't have a better solution. Our founding fathers created an amazing system, no doubt, surely the best the world has known in most ways, but it's not without its legitimate faults and this is one.

Serving on the bench, any bench, is not public service. It’s like royalty. Royal service.

The ill-will is due to her decisions on the bench and her ACLU affiliation. None of which will make her popular in a place like the SIGforum.

If there is on flaw in the founding of this nation it is the hope that the population would remain moral. I think nearly every position of power has been perverted by immoral perspectives and corrupt conflicts of ideology. RBG has corrupted the court for her entire tenure. The system established by the founders relied on educated moral perspectives to maintain liberty, justice, equality, prosperity, refinement and security.

You're on a gun forum. First and foremost, she is 100% anti-Second Amendment. Completely. She has stated on record that the 2A is "obsolete" and not needed because a "militia" is no longer needed. She has voted against any and all pro-gun decisions, Heller included.

She also believes that foreign laws and morals should be a factor in Supreme Court cases. Never mind her views on late term abortions, gay "rights", etc. She is a pure leftist activist judge who makes decisions based on her own warped ideology rather than the Constitution and the law.

As someone else posted, her "retirement equals her death". Like John McCain, she refuses to retire under any condition, especially under Trump. The only way for her to leave the bench is to die. I hope she "leaves" very soon.
