If she is unable to perform her duties as a justice, it could be devastating to the Democrats as Trump would have yet another opportunity to put forth a conservative nominee. Surprising no news network has reported on this. CNN was all over the First Lady absence after only two weeks.

Lots of conspiracy theories out there. Will be curious if she joins the other justices at SOTU. 

I hope she is well and retires on her own, but here is my theory on the democratic frame of mind:

1. She is not well
2. Democrats are hoping something so damning comes out of the Mueller report that somehow impeachment proceedings can start.
3. Knowing that Pence is likely to nominate an even MORE conservative justice than Trump, a quick impeachment of Trump will do no good, which is why they will attempt to keep proceedings going for 2 more years while painting Trump as "unfit" to pick the next justice.
