Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke Sunday after a production of “The Originalist,” a play all about Justice Antonin Scalia. She casually talked about her future on the bench, and– oh yes. There is a future. A lengthy one, at that.
“I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years.”
“At least” five more years. So…she’s not planning to retire until she’s in her 90s.
Greaaaaaat. I think she’s REALLY hoping that a Democrat beats Trump in 2020. That way she can retire without letting her adoring liberal fans down. And hey– I can’t say that I blame her.
While many #resisters are relieved, they’re still nervous. After all, she’s 85 years old. Because of that, we’re now beginning to see libs casually offering some of their own body parts to Ginsburg. You know. To keep her healthy and alive. I mean, it’s a joke, but also I think some of them are slightly serious.
People are offering up their organs so 85-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg can stay on the Supreme Court pic.twitter.com/QIZsnFGgoU

I have changed my organ donor status so that now all of my organs go to Ruth Bader Ginsberg EVEN IF I AM STILL ALIVE.
We need her now more than ever
I love you RBG.

I would give Ruth Bader Ginsberg any of my vital organs at this point, before or after my death.

Dear Justice Ginsberg, I am so happy to hear that you’re going to serve until you’re 90. If you need any organs during that time or any blood donations ( I am A+) I’m your girl. ❤️❤️❤️

Ruth Bader Ginsburg health I think it is wonderful that people are offering their organs to her. She is an iconic member of the court for many years. I wish her good health for many years to come good for her. I know she has a very hard exercise routine to keep in shape.

EWWWWWWWW STOP.
Saw Ruth Bader Ginsburg trending & I was on my way to the hospital to donate all my organs to keep her alive.
Then was relieved to see that she would be here another 5 years.
Whew!
