As a woman, a Latina, a person who has faced a life-long serious illness
(diabetes),
But, like, that defeats the whole purpose. Supreme Court justices are supposed to live and be liberal forever. I'm sure the disease isn't life-threatening as of now, but surely it pushes her life expectancy below 90.

Is it fat-related diabetes, by chance? I guess the "life-long" characterization says no. . . .
Yeah, looks like it's Type I. I think with proper treatment life expectancy is not reduced much, if at all.
MoveOn.org should campaign for insulin kits in the Supreme Court.
Grob -- no reason to believe she wasn't born fat and lost weight later in life. (I was, for instance.)
Dice -- Dunno. There are all sorts of complications, cf. http://www.diabetes.org/type-1-diabetes/complications.jsp; as long as you're basically fine these are avoidable but once you start disintegrating they presumably accelerate the process.
(And Supreme Court justices are expected to serve well into disintegration.)
