It surely is 13 O'clock, somewhere.

United States Supreme Court Justice
Ruth 'Buzzie' Bader Ginsburg

Closing in on 85,
and 'ain't going nowhere' soon!

WASHINGTON (AP) — In different circumstances, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg might be on a valedictory tour in her final months on the Supreme Court. But in the era of Donald Trump, the 84-year-old Ginsburg is packing her schedule and sending signals she intends to keep her seat on the bench for years.

The eldest Supreme Court justice has produced two of the court’s four signed opinions so far this term. Outside of court, she’s the subject of a new documentary that includes video of her working out. And she’s hired law clerks to take her through June 2020, just four months before the next presidential election.

Soaking in her late-in-life emergence as a liberal icon, she’s using the court’s month long break to embark on a speaking tour that is taking her from the Sundance Film Festival in Utah to law schools and synagogues on the East Coast. One talk will have her in Rhode Island on Tuesday, meaning she won’t attend the president’s State of the Union speech that night in Washington.

She won't be attending President Trump's
State of the Union Speech

     Which unfortunately for Ruthie, probably means she won't be getting a good night's sleep.


  Keep in mind, the decisions made by this alert, and sometimes conscious woman, in addition to some of her other frangible colleagues, will affect the lives of you, your children & grand children for generations to come.
