Justice Ginsburg: I Will Not Retire from the Supreme Court Anytime Soon
She's staying on for two reasons.
1. To screw Trump over on any legislation he tries to pass.
2. Want's to stop Trump from replacing her with a conservative judge.
So they'll have to carry her attired in her robe out on a gurney.
The big question is when?
“My answer is as long as I can do the job full steam, I will do it,” Ginsburg told supporters at an Equal Justice Works event.
“I used to have an answer; it worked for a lot of years. It was Justice [Louis] Brandeis when he was appointed. He was the same age as I was, 60. And he stayed for 23 years, so I expect to stay at least as long. Well, now I’ve passed Brandeis, I’ve passed [Justice Felix] Frankfurter,” she added.
Ginsburg, also known as the “Notorious R.B.G” among her supporters, has served on the court for 24 years since former President Bill Clinton appointed her in 1993.
The justice’s liberal supporters hope she will stay on the court throughout the Trump administration.
Despite observers concerns that she does not have the energy to continue in her position, Ginsburg shows no signs of slowing down.
The 84-year-old justice has hit the interview circuit in recent months, sitting down with CBS’s Charlie Rose in September to claim “sexism” played a role in the 2016 election.
She added that there was “no doubt” it led to former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s loss.
Ginsburg also bashed President Trump as a “faker” when he was a candidate in the 2016 election and criticized him for not releasing his tax returns. She later apologized for the remarks.
Ginsburg has been pretty adamant about not retiring from the Supreme Court despite her age. The reliably liberal justice declined to announce her retirement at the end of the last Supreme Court term in June.

Jane Fonda: Weinstein accusers get media attention because they're 'famous and white'
Probably the reason Hanoi Jane wasn’t charged with treason is that she is ‘famous and white’. She’s trying to interject her 'liberal racist beliefs' into the mix and it’s a major fail. The pretense is black women are victimized more than whites. Not if it's O.J. or Cosby. If Weinstein assaulted black women and none came forward who’s fault is that? Weinstein aka Jabba the Hutt would bonk anything on two legs…maybe four.

Actress Jane Fonda said she believes people were tuning in to hear Harvey Weinstein accusers' stories because they are “famous and white and everybody knows them.”
In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday, Fonda and her friend, longtime activist Gloria Steinem, were asked about the Weinstein scandal that has rocked Hollywood, Variety reported.
The correlation here is staggering. She knew about the Vietnam War and was driven enough to fly to Vietnam to commit treason but didn't have the stomach to report Jabba?
“It feels like something has shifted,” Fonda told Hayes. “It’s too bad that it’s probably because so many of the women that were assaulted by Harvey Weinstein are famous and white and everybody knows them. This has been going on a long time to black women and other women of color and it doesn’t get out quite the same.”
Earlier this month, The New York Times released an exposé stating Weinstein paid off women who accused him of sexual misconduct for decades. The New Yorkerreleased its own investigative report of women coming forward to accuse the disgraced Hollywood producer of sexual assault and rape.
The fallout caused Weinstein to be fired from the company he co-founded with his brother Bob and kicked out of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
You're kidding.
Many A-list stars, including Angelina Jolie and Lupita Nyong’o, have detailed their uncomfortable encounters with the Hollywood mogul. Other famous actresses have come forward with their stories of sexual misconduct in the film industry.
Earlier this month, Fonda came under fire for admitting to the BBC that she knew of the allegations against Weinstein a year ago but kept silent.
Fonda explained she believed women did not speak out before due to Weinstein’s power. Fonda confirmed she was not one of Weinstein’s victims.
“I didn’t want to expose and I will admit that I should have been braver. And I think from now on I will be when I hear such stories,” Fonda said.
