It's gotta be the pancreatic cancer that's come back and metastasized.

I'd be more sympathetic if she'd retired years ago, but she chose to retain her post and have her clerks write her opinions, so fuck her for betraying the country

Fuck the country for allowing her to betray it. Founding fathers had it mostly right except for this one and only lifetime position. Fuck. That. No position should ever be lifetime. Especially in the highest court in the land. All you have to do is act a certain way til you’re appointed and then you’re protected for life once you are. Lookin at you Roberts.

"...I feel an urgency to note what I deem an error in it, the more requiring notice as your opinion is strengthened by that of many others. you seem in pages 84. & 148. to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions: a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an Oligarchy." -Thomas Jefferson, 28 September 1820 https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/98-01-02-1540
