We really need to stop having high ranking members of government die in office from old age.

That wonderful woman did a lot of good things for a lot of people. She's lived a good life and she will be sadly missed. :cry:

Our next POTUS (whether its Biden or Trump) will probably keel over in mid sentence the middle of a State of a Union Address...and be on his back behind the lecturn...with X's for eyes.

That was the point I was making.

I was wrong in thinking she was still on the court, she had stepped down setting a good example for others in office.
