If it were me, I’d keep Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a hyperbaric chamber until Donald Trump is no longer president. But, RBG is made of sterner stuff. The AP reports that she’s home after her cancer scare:

A spokeswoman for the Supreme Court says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been discharged from the hospital after cancer surgery.

Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg says Ginsburg left New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on Tuesday and is now “recuperating at home.”

Ginsburg has never missed an argument, and I guess she’s going to keep that streak alive.

But, Christ. I think this would have been a good opportunity to do a Weekend at Bernie’s dry run. We should at least test out how we can make her appear to be alive without her being physically present… just in case we need that contingency later.

Be well, RBG.
