    Ginsburg, you are never allowed to die. If that means you stay away from planes and sleep in a cryogenic freezer, so be it. Never, ever leave us. #ruthbaderginsburg

    When I first saw this, I wanted to go "Noo noo noo." But apparently it's pretty minor, so I really hope she's OK. But pancreatic cancer is such a bad disease, and since we just lost Patrick Swayze, I worry for Ginsburg, worry that it can only be treated for so long.

    @lalaland13: There are different types, and while the most common one is usually a death sentence, there are some that aren't as gnarly. Steve Jobs has one of the less-gnarly ones, and I hope Justice Ginsburg does too.

    @MizJenkins: She still wants to be there, though. She can step down in Obama's second term (the last year....not before).

    And seriously, we need to start appointing young ones like the Republicans always do. Someone must outlive Roberts.

    @MizJenkins: Stevens will be the next to step down, unless RBG is sicker than we know. The justices don't like more than one vacancy a term, and Stevens WILL step down during a Democrat's administration. Stevens hired very lightly on his clerks for the year. I'd be shocked if he returns for the Oct '10 term.

    Hope she recovers quickly.

    On that note, I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

    Why is Scalia in such good health?

    @Alys Brangwin can't stop the beat: Sad but true. Friend of mine actually MET Scalia at a Federalist society event (ughhhh. when he told me he was going to meet scalia at a federalist society event i almost puked) and told me the dude drinks....well...a lot. Unless that was an isolated incident, I'm gonna imagine his liver isn't in great shape. But like Cheney, his assholeness will outweigh this possible health issue.

    @tankearae: He's friends-ish with my parents' next-door neighbor (a super rich lawyer type), so I've met him a couple times now, once quite recently. He didn't over-imbibe during either of the dinners I attended, but he was obliquely assholish (perhaps he should have had a drink or seven), and this was among supporters / rich folk! I will say though, in regards to your question about his health, he seemed quite hearty and solid.

    I'd like to add that my attendance at the dinners was not out of support for Scalia, but rather a combination of a love of free food and the desire to speak with a SCOTUS, regardless of how I feel about his positions.

    My only problem with the entire statement is the idea that there will never be a woman without means who cannot get an abortion anymore. What do you mean "anymore?" There has never been much that people with means cannot get.
