Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Ruth Bader Ginsburg speaks with Nina Totenberg during the 2018 Sundance Film Festival at Filmmaker Lodge on January 21, 2018 in Park City, Utah.

New York -- (CNN)Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she hopes to stay on the Supreme Court until the age of 90. "I'm now 85," Ginsburg said on Sunday. "My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years." She has already hired law clerks for at least two more terms.

Ginsburg spoke in New York following a production of "The Originalist," a play about the late Justice Antonin Scalia, at the 59E59 Theater.

"If I had my choice of dissenters when I was writing for the court, it would be Justice Scalia," Ginsburg said, saying that the back and forth would help her form her arguments. "Sometimes it was like a ping-pong game."

As a result, Ginsburg said, her landmark decision opening up the Virginia Military Institute to female cadets was her 18th draft.

Asked by "The Originalist" Director Molly Smith what keeps her "hopeful," Ginsburg cited her late husband, Marty.

"My dear spouse would say that the true symbol of the United States is not the bald eagle -- it is the pendulum," Ginsburg said. "And when it goes very far in one direction you can count on its swinging back."

As for retiring or term limits, Ginsburg said no chance. "You can't set term limits, because to do that you'd have to amend the Constitution," Ginsburg said. "Article 3 says ... we hold our offices during good behavior."

"And most judges are very well behaved," she added, to laughter.

Poster Comment:

The Republicans and Democrats in congress love bad behavior, so she's safe for another 5 years.

Maybe it's the same one they used to legalize sodomy in 1963.

Strom Thurmond was a Senator at 100 years old. They'd wheel him in for votes.

He just pushed the button that they told him to. A real grade A Republican (clueless).

Hopefully, this wrinkled up sack of liberal shit, doesn’t make it 5 more months. If I could choose the choice that she die peacefully, of natural causes, in 15 years, or she could die at 110, but step down in a year... or she could die next month, by a 747 plunging into her home... killing her family muts, 300 on board... and half her city block.

I’ll take choice 3. Get Ur Done!

Been saying it since 2008. Republican, RINO or outsider... they are all worlds better than a (D) when replacing USSC justices. There is NOTHING more important, in the next 6 years than replacing at least TWO more young, conservative/libertarian minded justices.

That’s why the “lessor of two evils” bullshit, that the paultards pushed as propaganda to get their 6% liked kook in office, wasn’t relevant. As we make it easy for (D)’s to take and KEEP office, they are and WILL keep putting 35 year old Ginsburgs in.

Then we truly are fucked.

You'd have 300 innocent plane passengers die to satisfy your blood lust all because you hate a SCOTUS member?

Yeah, sure. That makes sense - to a psychopath maybe.

More of your insanity - you'll claim that the 300 passengers had to die to "protect our freedoms".

If you were sincere in your beliefs, you'd get off your psycho ass and do it yourself.

When you retire, it WILL swing back.

The decrepit old leftist bridge troll is gone before Christmas 2019 and I hope it's long and painful.



Meanwhile, she can stew in irrelevant regret for not quitting during the corrupt Odumbass regime.

Fvck her, the lawless rubber stamp. It'll be good riddance to smelly trash, replaced by Amy Coney Barrett.

GI = 9/11 Saudi-Israel suicide hijacker

A copycat psycho eager to take out a half a city block with a passenger plane? It sure sounds a lot like it. If you've seen one bloodthirsty fanatic nutcase, you've seen 'em all!

And then there's GI's signature... كافر المسلح

If anyone belongs on a no-fly list, it's that moron.

Do you actually believe (R) = (D)??

Half the (R) are CONSERVATIVE
Half the (D) are COMMUNIST

Capisce??

Partisan hack shuck 'n jive. Anyway it's ONE party, with two wings. Keep voting for it if you like being stabbed in the back.

Yeah, and Mitt Romney is "severely conservative" too, like Cris Christie. /s

Amazing. You STILL don't get it.

I can only imagine your degree of paranoia and "reality". Get help. Seriously.

If you want a Perfect Freedom, you'll never find it in this world.

If you think there's NO difference between a Conservative (R) and Commie (D), then I'm afraid there are no number of psychiatrists or grief counselors that can help you.

Jim Jordan = Mitt Romney?? What drugs are you doing, and on what planet is your Mother Ship?
