Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn't Plan to Retire

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t plan to retire just yet.

“As long as I can do the job full steam, I will do it,” the 84-year-old said at an Equal Justice Works event Friday.

"I used to have an answer that worked for a lot of years,” Ginsburg said of her future retirement. “It was Justice Braindeis, 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.”

Ginsburg has served on the Supreme Court for 24 years.

She is a poster child for term limits for SC Justices.

She would have retired if Hillary had won but since she didn't she's hoping to outlast Trump. The rest of America is hoping she doesn't!

Does "full steam" mean falling asleep at the State of the Union address, or during oral arguments?
She is wealthy, very old, and out of touch, with an agenda.
PERFECT person for a lifetime position telling everyone else how to live and behave.
The only black person see ever sees or talks to is Clarence Thomas.
She doesn't speak to her housekeeper or gardener or the cooking staff.
I'll bet she has trouble remembering yesterday.

Keep cheering.

These Justices don't even live in the Real World and have
MORE power. Not Equal Power , to the President, who is Only
in power 4 yrs & 4 more if he is lucky.

I thought America had 3 Equal Powers , that are Separate
from each other (Congress / President / Supreme Court )
Guess Not ! Democracy needs some Fine Tuning !!

She's gross. Can't forget how she fell asleep snoring and slobbering all over during one of obama's state of the union speeches. saw online somewhere where the gross old hag does this during oral arguments too. Goes to show how disgusting she is. People's lives, livelihoods, etc are on the line and the rancid old relic is asleep.

Maybe we should pass a new law that says you should only be able to work up to 8 years in your job and you can't work anywhere after that. After all we can't have any 'double dipping' ya know!

I have long argued and advocated for Supreme Court Judges to become elected officials with one 8 year term.

She doesn't plan to retire - she plans to keep on sleeping like she has been doing for the past 24. Has been caught on camera several times at that.
