I doubt he is really "senile". He might have lost a few facts in the case, or be mistaken about some details.
That's probably just Argentine propaganda. Also, Cristina's "I am a victim that will be harmed by the evil empire" routine is also propaganda, and powerful propaganda that works. My experience here is that people love to play the victim. Cristina is setting herself up to be the next hero when in a year or so we will have another De La Rua come into power. She will then be able to come back and say "Remember when I was president and things were better," after the next government has to leave before finishing. When actually her time as president was one blunder after another and caused that next crisis that will last for the next few years. It's all clever propaganda. And yet many will choose to believe it.
Yes but Argentina is NOT bankrupt. The holdouts did not accept Argentina's offer years ago. Now the US courts that have legal jurisdiction have said that Argentina is in contempt for not paying. The holdouts or their successors were willing to hang in for over a decade and this is the outcome.

Are there other articles to support this opinion piece in the Times? Even if this is true it does not seem to me to be proof of senility. The case is obviously complex and may need clarification and presumably this is being done however I don't see how this, even if true, invalidates the decision. The judge has had time to review the points raised in the article and is surely under pressure to get it right. He hasn't budged. Would the US legal establishment really allow someone mentally incompetent to pursue this case as Griesa is doing? Some may say yes but I really doubt it.
Judge is not going anywhere unless he recuses himself. It is what it is. Be careful what you wish for Argentina.
