Ruth Bader Ginsburg misses 3rd day at court

The Supreme Court has given no indication when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will return to the bench. She missed her third straight day of oral arguments on Wednesday while recuperating from cancer surgery. This is the first time that she had missed oral arguments since joining the court in 1993.

Chief Justice John Roberts announced from the bench that Ginsburg is continuing to participate from home, just as the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist also did and even authored opinions while undergoing cancer treatment from 2004-2005.

The Democrats are having a conniption over Ginsburg's absence because if she is unable to continue in the capacity as a SCOTUS justice and must retire, or worse, President Trump will likely select another conservative person to fill her liberal shoes.

Everyone will be watching when public sessions resume Monday for indications of Ginsburg’s status. A court spokesperson said there has yet to be a date decided for when she will return to the bench.

The 85-year-old justice underwent lung surgery in New York City last month at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to remove cancerous growths, and is continuing to recuperate.

The discovery came incidentally during tests after she fractured several ribs during a fall in November.

A court statement said both nodules removed during surgery were found to be malignant, but scans performed before surgery indicated no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. No further treatment was planned.

Ginsburg is the oldest member on the Supreme Court and we wish her a full recovery and a speedy retirement.

It's a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.
