DonS 3,067 Posted January 16, 2019 Wont go that far.but I could see life support. You can technically keep someone alive for a long time Serious question: what are the rules when it comes to a SCJ being incapacitated? Does the SC still make rulings but risk ending in a tie?

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted January 17, 2019 Understood, but what happens if they're simply MIA? No rulings? Need to have 6 to make rulings. Her sitting out just means one less liberal voting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,639 Posted January 17, 2019 Wont go that far.but I could see life support. You can technically keep someone alive for a long time if you're interested, you should really look into how long Israel kept Sharon alive. That was crazy. And that's not some National enquirer bullshit. That's officially recognized and published by Israel themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,639 Posted January 17, 2019 Understood, but what happens if they're simply MIA? No rulings? runquist was MIA for the majority of the decade before he died. Largely in drug rehab. Still, even though he didn't participate in oral arguments or sit on the bench, he was an active voting member of scotus. By the way, that should scare the hell out of you.

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted February 6, 2019 Supposedly she showed up for a concert that conveniently didn't allow photography yet some pics were taken inside there. News about her will most likely drop once the budget gets resolved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, she just survived a double lobectomy and not even a clap. Also, the one person who claimed to have seen her, and hugged her, has deleted those tweets and set his account to private.

avoiding injuries 1,220 Posted March 26, 2019 Now that Russia is a thing of the past for President Trump, and likely a future issue for democrats, Trump is almost guaranteed to win in 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her step down soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She’s gotta know she can’t last 5 more years. Since there is the slimmest of chances the democrats win 2020, I predict she steps down after this November. In an election “year”.

While I agree the chances look bad for the Dems (fock, I likely won't even vote for them) a year out from 2016, odds were in Hilary's favor.
