Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Returns to the Bench

In an unprecedented announcement, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made a miraculous return to the bench yesterday, October 4, 2021. Justice Ginsburg, whose supposed passing in September 2020 had rattled the American political landscape, revealed that reports of her demised were greatly exaggerated.

Her reappearance comes amid continued political tension surrounding President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package, adding a new twist to the ongoing drama in D.C. With Ginsburg back on the bench, many experts believe the balance of the Supreme Court – currently leaning conservative – could shift dramatically.

“I must admit, it was a ruse,” Ginsburg revealed during a surprise press conference at the Supreme Court. “I retreated from public life to focus on my health, but reports of my passing were greatly exaggerated. I’m back and ready to continue advocating for justice and equality.”

President Biden echoed the sentiments of many when responding to the news. “I’ve always said the reports of Ruth’s death were false,” said the President. “She’s tougher than anyone I know, and I’m glad she’s back to continue her good work.”

The stark return of Ginsburg completely upends the current dynamics of the Supreme Court. The implications for pending landmark cases on abortion, gun rights, and climate change are immense.

While this story is undeniably momentous, our fact-checkers have found it to be categorically false. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away in September 2020. While her resilience and legacy continue to inspire, her “return” to the bench is, regrettably, a fabrication.
