Ginsburg Leaves Hospital, Heads to Work

Share

(AP) – Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from a Washington hospital today after spending the night as a precaution. The 76-year-old Supreme Court justice planned to be back at work later today. Ginsburg, who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in February, "developed lightheadedness and fatigue" in her office yesterday after receiving treatment for anemia, said a court statement.

She should quit now. I saw a video of her from the past few months. She looks like she could die anyday now. No change of power... just let the poor woman die in peace. Not to mention that she is probably not in 100% mental shape and yet, she is deciding the most important court cases in our country. Retire, madam.

Then again, I've only met a few democrats who were in 100% mental shape, so that point is moot. But, she should retire none-the-less.
