RBG has missed oral arguments this month for the first time in her 25-year career on the bench, and it is raising anxieties about how well and if she is recovering.
It has been reported that the White House is taking steps toward preparing a short list of Supreme Court nominees in the event of Justice Ginsburg's death or departure.
Adding even more fuel to the speculation, FoxNews "accidentally" showed a memorial graphic that claimed Ruth Bader Ginsburg is dead.

Our system is set up with the three branches so that no one part of government has too much power. The SC cannot be accountable to anyone as they have to interpret the laws and actions of the other two branches without undue political influence. At least that is how it is supposed to work in theory. Roberts ruling on Obamacare leads me to believe that they can be influenced. This is also why they have lifetime appointments.

So in other words, the Supreme Court is like an automobile that never runs out of fuel, or need repairs, except when one of the justices leave.

I'm not afraid of a judge, If you do nothing wrong, they usually don't bother you. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

and when one does "leave", it's like driving a Model-T with a hundred thousand miles on it 😎
