She says that she will remain on the Supreme Court for as long as she can.

POST SCRIPT: I'm sorry. I did not mean to scare anyone with the headline. Hope all's forgiven.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. OP headline wasn't very kind. I feared the worst.

How good is an OP if it depends on a bait-and-switch title to get views?

[Tess49]

[Delmette2.0]

44. Oh, god....me too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

Holy crap LOL

[Amaryllis]

50. Mee tooo!

[drm604]

It's so unfair to her. She deserves a retirement. She's a true patriot.

[a kennedy]

6. OMGOSH.......d*mn near died reading this headline......

[kstewart33]

[NastyRiffraff]

19. My god what a headline!

Scared me shitless. Good news, though.

[Ccarmona]

22. I'll Donate Any Of My Body Parts

She needs to stay alive and keep her seat on the Court. She probably wouldn't want my brain, though. Hers is much smarter than mine.

[potone]

24. Don't scare me like that!

I almost had a heart attack when I read the headline. With everything going to hell all around us, the last thing we need is to lose her! I think you owe all of us a drink!

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. This is one case I am glad a public official has better healthcare than I do.

[colorado_ufo]

27. A true public servant and Patriot!

[RoadhogRidesAgain]

28. To good

At minimum, the hatred she has for Trump and his agenda will fuel her for the next 4 years.

[Island Blue]

29. You scared the Hell out of me

with that title!

[Lotusflower70]

30. Bright lights and positivity

I will take every bit of good news I can get in the midst of this shit show.

[Beartracks]

31. You go! Go long!! n/t

[George II]

32. I kind of suspected that, otherwise she would have retired two or three years ago. Great news!

[Hulk]

33. God Bless that woman!

This is what a true patriot looks like.

[sarcasmo]

34. RBG 4 Eva

[The Wizard]

39. The nation and what

is has always stood for is under attack. RBG in one of the last bricks in the wall separating reality and fantasy, Church and State, Fascism and Democracy.

[Old Terp]

40. Long may you run,

you wonderful woman. I'm available for organ donations too. I'm 70, so you may have better options for some organs. My blood is AB-
You are a National Treasure.

[Greybnk48]

41. I'm hyperventilating!

You scared me to death!

[yeoman6987]

42. Honestly, you scared the bejesus out of me. Lol.

[Kingofalldems]

47. We had a guy here the other day crowing about Trump getting 3 picks this summer.

Who was that anyway?

[woodsprite]

43. I have HBP and you almost gave me a heart attack!

[vkkv]

45. Real news sold as Fake news.. That's truly fucked up -

and very Republican of you. Congratulations.

[Initech]

48. I like what Bill Maher said a couple of weeks ago:

"New rule: Ruth Bader Ginsburg must live forever!"

[Lokilooney]

55. Yeah I remember that.

He followed up with something like: And if she does die you have to put a pair of sunglasses on her and and carry her around like weekend at Bernie's. Also don't forget Kennedy and Breyer...Jesus...Forget about his policy's while in office there is a possibility that he could shape the supreme court for a generation...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

49. I guess I can't complain since I scared du with a Betty White headline on New Year's Eve.

[SammyWinstonJack]

51. Scared me to death!

[still_one]

52. If you didn't mean to scare anybody, they you should have included it in the title.

[Maru Kitteh]

53. UNREC. Don't do that shit. It's not funny. Maybe it's a game to you, but

It's not cute.

It's not clever.

It's a SUCKY thing to do to people, especially in these times.

Shame.

[burrowowl]

54. Love RBG!

but nearly had a heart attack, do a subtitle next time!

[Kath2]

57. Right on, sister!

We LOVE you!

[usaf-vet]

58. Several points re Justice Ginsberg

1. She is a wonderful Supreme Court Justice. Her stands have made America better.

2. Having said that she should have left immediately after Obama was re-elected to his second term. Giving him a chance to fill her seat with a younger justice.

3. I would hope she can stay until the court gets balanced again. But that would remain long shot statistically.

4. Praying she lives to be at least 100. And continues to have a sharp mind.

5. Finally democrats should block all Trump nominees until Merrick Garland gets his hearing and vote. President Obama's SCOTUS seat was stolen by McConnell and the GOP.

[Honeycombe8]

61. I agree. She should have left before.

She's really old and is not in good health. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I would have preferred her to have left years ago, so that the Dems could nominate a replacement

She's 83, past the normal life expectancy of females born in the 1930s. She has had colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and heart trouble. At a certain age, all people start losing their mental sharpness. She's very tough and determined, but the body starts breaking down at a certain age for all humans.

OTOH, even if she'd retired, it's doubtful that Obama could have gotten confirmation for another justice equally liberal to Justice Ginsburg.

I hope she makes it another four years, at least. If she doesn't, the Republicans will put an extremist conservative in, and that's all she wrote.

[snort]

59. Thats a real asshole move

[Dream Girl]

60. I'm hiding this thread, not funny.

[PatrickforO]

62. No, we're cool. I needed the ADRENALIN rush.

[kstewart33]

63. Thanks, Patrick. nt

[wryter2000]

64. That took a few years off my life

And I don't have all that many left.

[liquid diamond]

65. The spirit is willing

but the flesh is weak. She is in her mid eighties and her health has been shitty. You should have retired during Obama's terms Ruthy. Now trump will be in power for at least four and maybe up to eight more years. God save us all.

[GentryDixon]

66. My goodness. You need to change your headline.

Why would you want to stress us out any more than we already are?

[HockeyMom]

67. You Go, Girl!

Thank you, thank you, from a Sister not much younger than you are!

[retrowire]

68. Now that's good clickbait.

Over 12,000 people viewed this. LMAO

[Kimchijeon]

69. Whew

Ok Ok, you are forgiven.

Hang in there Justice Ginsberg! Where there's a will there's a way, and I know she's determined.
