Ruth Bader Ginsberg may be 85-years-weak and recovering from an operation to remove two cancerous growths from her lungs,but she is still very much alive. However, that hasn’t stopped the White House from starting plans for replacing her, and with a number of names already under consideration.
The White House counsel’s office is already trading names with the office of the new Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham,according to Politico, which has published a list of names under consideration.
