She’s really trying, but I don’t see any way she makes it to January.
An 87 year-old woman with pancreatic cancer that is now inoperable and causing obstruction of her common bile duct, with cancer metastasis to her liver and lungs, receiving chemotherapy.
I feel really, honestly, terrible for her. I am friends with a couple medical oncologists. They pretty much never give chemotherapy to a frail woman in her late 80’s who has such advanced cancer. It’s just way too hard on them for hardly any benefit. She is going to experience a terrible, painful end. All in the name of hoping to get Biden to select her successor.
I think she has at most 6-8 weeks left. Her life will likely end with a feeding tube and on a ventilator, all buying time for a Biden victory. She should be in hospice, cared for in dignity and in peace in her home. Pain meds and comfort. She shouldn’t be forced to go the way I think she feels compelled to go now.
If she dies before November, Trump will appoint either James Ho or Amy Barrett to the Court. If she dies after Biden wins but before he is sworn in, we could have an actual civil war between democrats and republicans because I believe Trump and McConnell will try to push one of those two through. Barrett, having taught at ND Law, may be too controversial though. Remember when Dianne Feinstein, during Barrett’s Circuit Court Senate confirmation hearings said “the dogma lives loudly within you” when referring to Barrett’s Catholic beliefs?
