Expect the Dems + allied senators to fight any Trump appointee's appointment to either side's political death. "Republicans", using the term loosely re: Roberts, have a somewhat safe 5-4 majority. The left knows their goose would be cooked if they're out 6-3.
Also, if RGB does die on the bench before 2020, you can safely bet that "retaking the Supreme Court" is going to be a Dem campaign goal, just like it was for Trump. I concede that most people don't care about the Supreme Court, but it's a good campaign mantra - "the courts are against [whatever goal the speaker is pushing]", or "the courts are corrupt", or "the courts are a mockery of justice/unfair/unjust/out of touch with reality."

She won't retire. She'll die in that position.

Tell us how you really feel...
What, do you have some issue with this?
Usually when you have one cancer, even if it's removed via surgery, it means you're becoming susceptible to more cancers. First it was the pancreatic cancer she had, that was removed with surgery too, but now less than a decade later she's got growths in her lungs and I've seen a picture of her with a bulge on her neck.
She may have another couple years, but she's not living to 2024.

That's fair. I lost my dad last year from cancer. I didn't wish cancer on her but we all got to go some time. I just hope her time is soon. So she won't suffer.

Lung cancer is particularly deadly because of the high volume of blood moving through the organ. It may also be an indication that one of her other cancers has metastasized. Definitely not a good sign her.

She is evil, so good riddance. Trump's next pick should just start out by declaring he has raped every woman he has ever met.

Cancer isn't red or blue. It's a terrible killer that takes from both sides. Those of you wishing for RBG's quick death to cancer, should be careful what you wish for. Cancer may come for you or yours next.

Then what? Trump has proven that he is no friend of us gun owners. Can we trust his appointees to protect our Second Amendment rights, or will they just sit on their asses and play with themselves while a patchwork of local and statewide gun/magazine/accessory bans materialize with the strokes of mayors' and governors' pens, turning all of us into instant felons without due process?
Third bout with cancer? She's tough. BTW, even with the two previous cancer episodes, she has NEVER missed a day of oral arguments. I cannot fail to respect that work ethic.
Another Supreme Court vacancy at this time will get really, really ugly just because the stakes are perceived to be so high. If you think the Kavanaugh process was a shit-show dumpster fire, just wait. Trump will almost have to appoint another woman. Maybe his sister, she's a federal appeals court judge! (jk) The next Trump nominee will be dragged through the mud like we've never seen. For some, the ends will justify the means if they can keep another Trump nominee off the bench. Frankly, the same is true for conservatives. They'll do anything to tip the balance even more.
Another Trump justice would likely be the icing on the cake for 2A rights. But if we get someone in the Alito-Gorsuch-Thomas-Kavanaugh mold you can kiss your privacy and due process rights away. That's a tough equation to balance.

If she doesn't die in the next few months the Dems will demand a delay in the confirmation process until after the 2020 election, just like we did for Gorsuch. But no matter what happens, it's going to be a blood-bath.

Sometimes you don't know if an event is good or bad until some time afterwards.

So, the fall that cracked a rib saved (extended) her life.

We just need her out of SCOTUS the sooner the better and I don't care which route she takes.
