"Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg returned to the Supreme Court Friday for the first time since she underwent surgery in December...."

"... a court spokeswoman said. Ginsburg, 85, participated in a private conference with her colleagues as they considered which cases to accept for review or reject, said court spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg. One item on the agenda was whether the court should skip its normal procedures and consider whether the Trump administration may add a question about citizenship to the 2020 Census form sent to every household in the country."

WaPo reports.

She can retire after January 20, 2025.

Yes let’s sort out that census issue.

Did you see the photo? OMG she looks terrible.

gahrie said...

You mean the question about citizenship that used to be on the census until the Democrats removed it?

Yancey Ward said...

I still find it curious that there are no photos/video of her arrival and departure. Were I an enterprising photographer, I would be staking out the venues to get photographs for publication regardless of my political interests in the matter.

Sad news. How many times can an 85 y/o get cancer and still survive?

You really have to wonder.

Dickin,

The photo in the WaPo story was one from early December. Did you see one I missed? If so, where?

Her life-long mission has been to destroy America 1.0 - that's what keeps Ginsberg going. Evil can be a powerful force.

OT:
Networks: 2,202 Minutes on Russia Scandal, Zero for No Collusion Report

But please, don't say the media is an arm to the democratic party.

Discussing the elephant in the room, the citizenship question on the 2020 Census.

Dickin,

I watched that video from The Hill earlier, and it contains only stock photos taken at events from the past, not this morning, as far as I can tell.

It is unbelievable to me that 'a citizenship question' for US govt. census - used to determine everything from demographic data to congressional representation - is even an issue worthy of SCOTUS review.

This is how far down the rabbit hole we've fallen...that that's a question that the US govt can't ask when it performs a constitutionally mandated action affecting representation for which non-citizens AREN'T allowed to vote for in any way.

Progressives will absolutely not stop until 'citizenship' means nothing more than 'you receive all the liabilities while everyone receives all the benefits'.

I've said it once if I've said it a thousand times. Immigration, citizenship and jurisdiction (borders) are the legal leviathan issues of our time. Without solving all 3 there ceases to be a reason to have a country, follow rules, or pay taxes any longer.

Just think about that. It may turn out to be unlawful that you can't ask someone if they're a citizen on a US census form.

Unbelievable.

I agree! How can this possibly be unconstitutional? How can it be anything other than vital information?

@Lucid-ideas,

Totally unbelievable (I know, I know, it's just a casual expression!)

Illegal immigration and illegal voting is an active political strategy for the Dems. They stumbled onto it in the past 10-15 years.

Most people who have jobs and families and are raising kids, don't have time for leftwing nonsense. That's probably 100 Million people right there. They're not gonna vote for AOC or other far left wackos, even if they remain somewhat loyal to the Dem Party.

Ergo, the Dem Party needs new voters.

Ergo, the Dem Party welcomes immigrants.

Politically, California was a fairly well-balanced state for decades - the North was blue, the South was red. Home of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Jerry Brown and Willie Brown.

The Dems found political paydirt in opening the Southern Cal border, changing the demographics of Southern Cal, (particularly Orange County) and, hence, changing SoCal to blue -- which made the entire state blue.

Transforming Texas to blue is the goal, which would make Presidential elections very blue.

One of the couples she married was recently arrested for rape.

The WaPo says......"Trust me!! She was in a private meeting this morning."

When the conspiracy theories sound more credible than the WaPo........

Using a Body Double is an impeachable offense.

Before we get there, I'd like to know if the following is going to be legal on the Supreme Court:

"Ruth, squeeze my hand once for yes and twice for no"

madAsHell said...

After hearing Andrew McCabe's bombshell about using the 25th Amendment to oust Trump, I'm guessing that Ruthie is gone. This is just another effort to undermine the constitution, and the President.

"Ruth, squeeze my hand once for yes and twice for no"

Maybe Talos IV needs a new Supreme Court justice.

But wait, all the people with the inside knowledge said she was dead.

Are you sure this is not an impostor, or, worse, a zombie.
