      It’s not true that a sex trafficking ring operated in your country for years and the cops knew about it and didn’t shut it down?

          Broken ribs is serious at any age, but especially for the elderly. The inability to move around and cough properly can very easily lead to pneumonia, and Ginsberg isn't exactly in good health to begin with which makes matters even worse.

            I could understand someone classifying Clarence Thomas as far right, even if I don't necessarily agree. But Gorsuch and Kavanaugh aren't. Heck, in the most recent term, Gorsuch's rulings were more liberal than Kennedy's; is Anthony Kennedy far-right now?

            Is she in bad health? I was under the impression, particularly considering her age, she was in pretty good health. I know she does (for her age) surprisingly strenuous work-out sessions twice a week.

              Yeah... she's so frail...

                Well that I don't know. I'm going by recent interviews I've seen where she seems barely coherent.

                  I find it somewhat ironic that they use pictures from 30+ years ago to illustrate what great shape she is in today.

                  ... Or did I misunderstand? On second read, the woman in the photos is not Ginsberg but someone significantly younger and in much better shape, which is also somewhat ironic.

                    those pictures were of the reporter doing the workout, not Ginsburg.

                    Ginsburg has battled cancer a couple of times and other health problems. She survived. I don't know if that means she is stronger now, or weaker. I do know she is getting up there in age.

                      Well, like I said, I'm only going by what I've seen in recent interviews where she can barely hold her head up and string a sentence together, and half the time you wonder if she fell asleep mid-sentence when she starts to introduce awkward seconds-long pauses between words.

                          Was that during Trump's State of the Union when Ginsberg later admitted she was drunk?

                          Talk about behavior unbecoming of a Supreme Court Justice.

                            The article is about someone (a young person) duplicating her exercise routine, and provides several links to books and articles to exactly what she does each week. How many 85-year-olds do you know who include planks in their exercise routine?

                              Good thing I do lots of planks in my exercise routine. Yep, plenty of planks here.

                                Anyone can find a "less flattering" picture of anyone else. Stripped of context, they mean nothing. Anyone remember the "white power" sign by Zina Bash at the Kavanaugh hearings?

                                DmdkGapWwAAobSA.jpg-small-300x307.jpg

                                Shall we conclude from these out-of-context images that Zina Bash is a white supremacist?

                                Come on, guys. You can do better than that.

                                P.S. It was pretty widely known that Ginsburg had had wine with dinner, and had nodded off during the SOTU as a result. And no, she did not "admit she was drunk." She admitted she had had some wine with dinner, and it made her sleepy.
