Associate (Supreme Court) Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg deserves our sympathy--and our prayers--as she recovers from cancer surgery; and this, regardless of what her political views may be.
Yet, as I write this, she has missed three consecutive days of oral arguments (today would be the fourth), due to her illness.
If she is simply unable to hear these arguments, then she is unable to do her job; and the honorable thing, it seems to me, would be to step down, and allow herself to be replaced.
It is my understanding, however, that she refuses to do this, as she does not want to be replaced by a Donald Trump appointee.
This, in my opinion--if it is true--is simply dishonorable.
