The correct thing to do is to work until the the very end or Jan 20, 2021.

They can and they would.
She literally needs to live until January. She needs to live until inauguration. If she died on January 15, they’d replace her.

That said, if a seat on SCOTUS were to be vacated tomorrow, how quickly could Mitch really get a Trump nominee confirmed?

What could the Dems do to at least slow the process through November 3rd?

Serious question, before I go donate all my blood to RBG.


Start counting how many of those GOP Senators up for re-election wouldn't be willing to vote for the end of Roe v Wade. I don't think there are enough.
It's not a coincidence that Pompeo was in Iowa yesterday campaigning with Christian fundamentalists to try to shore up Joni Ernst's support.

I predict that it would take less than a week for trump and McConnell to push through a SCt vote. I’d bet trump’s handlers already have a name picked and have pre-cleared it with McConnell. I’d even bet McConnell has coordinated with other pro-trump senators to rally and ready them for the possibility.

No, pancreatic cancer that traveled to the liver. Relapse is treated differently than a first-time cancer occurrence.



Prognosis is very poor for pancreatic cancer liver metastases. Median survival time is only a little over 4 months. She is a tough lady, hope she can hang in there and be one of the 18% that survives longer than a year.


It just got John Lewis.

The letter doesn’t say whether it is recurrence of the pancreatic CA or of the colon CA. Colon would be better.

I agree. Liver cancel is very scary.

Depends. Targeted chemotherapy to the liver can work very well. Provided there aren't any metastases in other organs, localized high-dose chemo, ablation and other methods used to shrink/remove disease are often very effective.


I hope this is true.
