Ginsburg missing Supreme Court arguments for 1st time

January 7, 2019

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is missing arguments for the first time in more than 25 years as she recuperates from cancer surgery last month.

Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Monday the 85-year-old Ginsburg is continuing to recuperate and work from home after doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung odn Dec. 21.

Ginsburg was discharged from a New York hospital on Christmas day.

Ginsburg had two earlier cancer surgeries in 1999 and 2009 that did not cause her to miss court sessions. She also has broken ribs on at least two occasions.

The court said doctors found the growths on Ginsburg’s lung when she was being treated for fractured ribs she suffered in a fall at her office on Nov. 7.

3. Enough with the doom already. It's most likely she is following her medical team's advice

So that she may return strong and avoid a more serious setback.

She's a fairly smart person, you know. She's doing what smart people do.

4. I know

Just feeling jittery. It would be less of a concern if Republicans hadn't managed to steal a seat.
