Speaking in New York on Sunday, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg gave herself “at least five more years” on the bench, according to a CNN report.
“I’m now 85. My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years,” she said in remarks made after a production of “The Originalist,” a play about her late friend and colleague Antonin Scalia.
She has reportedly already hired a full slate of law clerks to last her through 2020.
She added that her optimism about America’s fate comes from her late husband, Marty.
“My dear spouse would say that the true symbol of the United States is not the bald eagle—it is the pendulum,” Ginsburg said. “And when it goes very far in one direction you can count on its swinging back.”
If I were a praying sort, I would pray for RBG.
Every day, I send her vibes of power and strength and persistence, not that she needs them.
Notorious, as ever. Forever…
Hang in there RBG.
And, if you need a kidney or anything, let me know.
RBG trolls Trump to start off his week. Undoubtedly he’ll have to respond with some tone deaf, marginally misogynistic and insulting tweet. Which will further cement the loyalty of his female base.
The only people that hate women more than Republican men are Republican women.
