Ruth Bader Ginsburg already up and working again according to her nephew - Polidicks

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-film-ruth-bader-ginsburg-idUSKCN1NE0XO LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is “up and working” and making jokes after being hospitalized with rib fractures, her nephew said on Thursday at the premiere of a new movie about her early career fighting for women’s equality. Daniel Stiepleman, who wrote the script for the film “On the Basis of Sex” about his aunt’s work as a young lawyer, with input from the justice herself, told Reuters the 85-year-old Ginsburg was “doing great.” “The last I heard she was up and working, of course, because what else would she be doing, and cracking jokes,” he said. “I can’t promise they were good jokes but they were jokes.” Ginsburg was hospitalized in Washington after suffering three fractured ribs from a fall. Hours later, Hollywood got its first look at the new film about her pioneering work. “On the Basis of Sex” stars Felicity Jones as a young Ginsburg and Armie Hammer as her tax attorney husband Martin, in a story about a landmark discrimination case the pair argued in 1972. Director Mimi Leder described the movie as the “origin story” of the justice, who became a hero among U.S. liberals. The film, which will debut in U.S. theaters in December on Christmas, depicts Ginsburg as one of just nine women at Harvard Law School in the 1950s, and later struggling to find a firm that will hire a Jewish woman as a lawyer. The film chronicles a case involving Charles Moritz, a single man who was denied a $296 tax deduction because he was a male caregiver. Ginsburg and her husband successfully argued that the denial represented gender-based discrimination. The real-life Ginsburg made a brief, surprise appearance in the film, drawing applause from the crowd.

You'd Ruth Bader believe it. She's always been amazingly resilient, guess it kind of comes with the territory.

Damn I hope I can be like her in terms of determination at even half her age.

the sheer spite that must be keeping this woman going is the likes of which have never been seen. she's not going out without a good tussle

I knew she wouldn't go down that easily, especially after all she's already been through. She's totally making it through 2020, where at that point hopefully the Orange is kicked out of office. (Assuming he hasn't already been dropped by his own party once Mueller blows his load.)

People tend to feel better before they die I remember reading the same thing about totalbiscuit

I'm not really surprised considering what she did at university After the birth of their daughter, her husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer. During this period, Ginsburg attended class and took notes for both of them, typed her husband's dictated papers and cared for their daughter and her sick husband—all while making the Harvard Law Review.

Ginsburg is a fucking ass kicker. She has fought off cancers and broken ribs before this, a few more broken ribs aren't anything to her.

Between her being the second female supreme court justice and her extensive record on the bench, I think it would be safe to say she's one of the most important women in US history. Her tenacity and dedication to justice is unparalleled.

I believe totalbiscuit's wife said that he was talking about reviewing video games right before he passed away, even though he was delirious at that point. I personally feel like he had just completely accepted his fate unlike some people in his situation, and wasn't going to waste his last days raging at the heavens until the bitter end. He is quite an inspiration to us all.

Kavanaugh's gonna have to push her harder next time if they want to open up that seat.

bit of a difference between fractured ribs and cancer
