As soon as news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s lung surgery reached the White House, Donald Trump’s people began gearing up for a far-right replacement. Remember, POTUS sent daughter Ivanka Trump to manipulate Justice Anthony Kennedy into stepping down, so that the president could install the questionable Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Yet, this tactic was the worst of worst.
Granted Justice Ginsberg, 85, did not appear for oral arguments for the very first time since she was appointed to the Supreme Court. She had self-contained cancerous nodules in one lobe of her lung (there are five lobes). In previous surgeries and treatments, the Justice has bounced back with startling speed. The deal this time was that lung removal is a very big surgery. The good news is her prognosis is great.
