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.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostWell, 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?

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.Last edited by carpedm9587; 11-09-2018, 09:33 AM.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
