RBG

Last week I heard on separate occasions from two people that Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s health was more precarious than the reports after her December 21st surgery for lung cancer had indicated.  Now comes word that today she’s missing oral arguments at the Supreme Court for the first time in her 25-year-tenure.

All this merely highlights her unfortunate decision not to retire five years ago, when the Senate was controlled by the Democrats.  (The same point can and should be made about Breyer).
