without RBG taking the bench. Yesterday she was not there either. First time since she was sworn in back in 1993.
Prior history of cancer, fell and broke bones earlier this term.
Trump just might get a 3rd nomination.

She's an extreme leftest who not give in. She will die on the bench rather than quit. :coffeeNews:

Would it be bad to hope she goes on the bench, soon and peacefully?

If RBG vacates the SCOTUS before November 2020, the left will go completely nuts. Probably riots in the streets time.
I suspect the next nominee will be Joan Larsen, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. She is a staunch Conservative, a Consitutionalist, and a staunch Catholic. The 3C's that the left just can not tolerate.

The name I am seeing is Amy Coney Barrett.

And if either is Catholic it will be a real bloodbath.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's past comments raise questions about Supreme Court retirement
This week marked the first time Ruth Bader Ginsburg has missed oral arguments since the associate justice joined the Supreme Court in 1993.
The 85-year-old, who is recovering from recent cancer surgery, has repeatedly said in the past that she would retire from the nation's highest court only when she can no longer "do the job full steam."
The court's public sessions are set to resume Monday. No date has been set yet for when Ginsburg will return to the bench, a court spokesperson said.
Ginsburg underwent lung surgery last month to remove cancerous growths, and is continuing to recover. After weeks out of public view, she was spotted Wednesday morning leaving her Washington, D.C., apartment, TMZ reported.
But Ginsburg’s recent absence has stirred speculation on whether she was considering retiring, given her previous comments on the topic.
The justice, dubbed "the Notorious RBG" by supporters, has said at least since 2013 that she would continue to serve on the court as long as she can, as pointed out by the Washington Examiner. Supreme Court appointments are for life, though many justices over the years have chosen to retire at some point.
“As long as I can do the job full steam, and that, at my age, is not predictable,” Ginsburg told the New York Times in 2013.
Three years later she told NPR that she would “retire when it's time. And when is it time? When I can't do the job full steam.”
"I will retire when it's time. And when is it time? When I can't do the job full steam."
— Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
As recently as last year she repeated that she would remain on the court as long as she can be fully engaged.
“As long as I can do the job full steam, I will be here,” she during an event at the Adas Israel Congregation in Washington.
“I said I will do this job as long as I can do it full steam,” she said last month at the premiere of a movie about her early career.
But Ginsburg’s absence from the court and participation from home is also not unprecedented. The late Chief Justice William Rehnquist also worked from home and even authored several opinions while undergoing cancer treatment from 2004-05.
Ginsburg also has already hired clerks for the term that extends into 2020, suggesting possible retirement isn’t being planned.

It would be great for us to get another seat.
