As Twitchy told you earlier, SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been hospitalized after fracturing several ribs when she fell last night in her office. And while we sincerely hope that she makes a swift and full recovery, we can’t help but also be kind of weirded out by reactions like this one from Alyssa Milano:
Ruth Bader Ginsberg can have my ribs. And my kidneys and a lung. And anything else she needs. She can even have my husband on Thursdays.

Allllllrighty then.
We've got a healthy, functioning democracy right here https://t.co/ZrrZe3RlXi

I don't think it's funny RBG is injured.
I do find it shocking and funny that someone thinks a rib transplant is a good solution.— Charles DeGlopper (@bronzebarbarian) November 8, 2018
Heh. Seems pretty safe to say that Milano’s not seriously offering up her ribs to Justice Ginsburg. But takes like Milano’s do suggest that liberals aren’t great at this whole reality thing. We’re not sure how it helps Justice Ginsburg, either.
The pressure that is on Ginsberg to simply live longer due to the nature of her position and the rules around replacing her is… not great.
I don't have a great solution to it, but it's unhealthy.— PoliMath (@politicalmath) November 8, 2018
In a sane world, she’d be allowed to retire in peace but because of how people are, she’ll be vilified and her reputation destroyed if she even thinks about it.
