Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Released from Hospital Following Cancer Surgery

Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg was discharged from the hospital following cancer surgery and is recuperating at home, a court spokeswoman has announced.

The 85-year-old had surgery to remove two cancerous nodules from her left lung in New York on December 21.

The Notorious RBG, who is the most senior justice on the Supreme Court’s liberal wing, has previously had surgery to treat colon cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Supreme Court judges serve for life or until they retire.

Supporters of Ruth Bader Ginsburg have expressed concern that if anything happened to her, she could be replaced by a conservative justice.

Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement: “Justice Ginsburg was discharged from the hospital yesterday [December 25] and is recuperating at home.”

According to an earlier statement released by the court, the malignant nodules were initially discovered when Ruth Bader Ginsburg broke three ribs in November.

Both were successfully removed at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and afterwards “there was no evidence of any remaining disease”, it added.

No further treatment is planned.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton.

She had previously focused her work on women’s rights and started the first law journal dedicated to the topic.

Some of her legal opinions, coupled with her refusal to step down during the Obama era, have seen her gain popularity in some quarters.
