Justice Ginsburg is in the hospital. The statement issued by the Court says that she responded well to treatment and should be home this morning. As a result, the usual battle is raging on social media with one group lamenting that President Trump will get to appoint her successor, another calling on RBG not to resign even if she can no longer do her job, and a third thrilled that we will soon have a new justice to replace her. I have two words for these people, "Shut up!" Can't we all take a moment to wish Justice Ginsburg well? Let's ignore the politics of this and focus on the humanity instead. No matter what one thinks of Justice Ginsburg's opinions and her place on the Court, there will be plenty of time to deal with that in the event there is a need to do so. For right now, let's just wish the Justice a speedy recovery.
