Justice Ginsburg is looking at a full recovery following her cancer operation. The Daily Caller reports:
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s recovery from a lung cancer operation is proceeding apace and there are no signs of further disease, the Supreme Court announced Friday afternoon.
Ginsburg had two cancerous nodules removed from her lungs at the Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center on Dec. 21. The procedure is called a pulmonary lobectomy.
“Justice Ginsburg will continue to work from home next week and will participate in the consideration and decision of the cases on the basis of the briefs and the transcripts of oral arguments,” Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement. “Her recovery from surgery is on track. Post-surgery evaluations indicate no evidence of remaining disease, and no further treatment is required.”
The statement comes amid reports the Trump administration was quietly mobilizing in anticipation of another vacancy on the Supreme Court. The Daily Caller reported Monday that gingerly preparations were underway at the White House and among its allies in the conservative legal movement for a new nomination to the high court.
This will nonetheless prove taxing on the eldest member of the court, who could still retire from the court any year now.
Her retirement would result in a 6-3 conservative court,,,might be too much for the other 3 which could lead to more retirements,,,well I can hope right???
Gingsburg needs to understand when her effectiveness has come to an end. Adjudicating from home is asinine. There is no way she can hear it all, pick up on nuances from the liars…er…lawyers, ask questions of the participants or converse with the other judges (that is when she is awake).
“Work from home” is a euphemism for having her staff do the work!
Likely having Nancy and Chuckie doing it
She should retire and enjoy what little time she has left on this earth ! ! ! !
