The hosts apologized later in the show, blaming the mistake on a “technical error in the control room.”

Ginsburg recently cancelled two speaking events while she recovers from surgery to remove cancerous nodules from her lungs. Though she missed some oral arguments, she is expected to return to the bench.

Technical error? They have that graphic just a haphazard button press away?

Not that we needed proof, but this shows just how anxious and excited they are for RBG to die. What a bunch of fascist ghouls.

Seeing that image on the front page of TPM freaked me out for a second, before I read the actual headline. Might want to rethink how you present that, gang.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg to have cameo in The Lego Movie 2
Ruth Bader Ginsburg to have cameo in The Lego Movie 2

“These movies are so full of surprises,” Mr Mitchell told USA Today. “And we were thinking, ‘who’s the last person you would think to see in a Lego film as a minifig?’ - Ruth Bader Ginsburg!”
The judge, who had cancer surgery last month, hasn’t recorded any audio for the film - but the filmmakers say she’s given it her blessing.
“She said, ‘Of course, I’d love to be a Lego figure. That would be cool,’” Mr Mitchell says.
