The USA Today important piece of journalisming: http://archive.is/fIoEj

There is no record of any Wardlaw opinion on Ginsburg's death on the website for the 9th Circuit, but she participated in a panel discussion Friday about Ginsburg's life produced by the UCLA School of Law. There was no mention of "reviving" Ginsburg during the discussion.

Yes, they actually checked to see if that specific judge had ever overruled the Grim Reaper.

And then went into lengthy detail about why they chose the 9th Circuit. They actually wrote over 1000 words (I checked) about this blatantly absurd, literally impossible parody.

We rate this claim SATIRE, based on our research. A satirical article about the 9th Circuit "overturning" Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death has no basis in fact. It is true that the 9th Circuit has ruled against many Trump-era policies.

Honestly Facebook should ask for its money back to pay for better propaganda mills.

Wait, so that means USA Today announced that Generalissimo F Ruth Bader Ginsburg is still dead?

Technically, they labeled it satire.

Still, this BB article is one that features a clear impossibility.

But then—for reasons we'll never know or understand—they go on to debunk the claim in detail. They even checked the 9th circuit court's website to see if there had been any rulings overturning Ginsburg's death, as if that were even possible!
