BREAKING: Ruth Bader Ginsburg being treated for cancer on her pancreas

While the left gets all disgusting on Twitter over the death of David Koch today, it was just learned that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent another round of treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, as disclosed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ginsburg's treatment began on August 5th shortly after a localized cancerous tumor was found on her pancreas. The court said the treatment included the insertion of a stent in Ginsburg's bile duct.

So far as is known, there have been no Twitter assaults on Ginsburg by conservatives, unlike the way progressives went after Koch.

Doctors at Sloan Kettering said that after further tests, there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. Justice Ginsburg was operated on for lung cancer last December. The 86-year-old justice has battled various forms of cancer for over 20 years.

We all wish her well but it might be a good time for her to retire and allow the President to nominate someone to replace her; hopefully someone like Amy Coney Barrett. 

Pancreatic cancer or pancreatic adenocarcinoma (the most common form comprising about 85% of all pancreatic cancer) is a dreadful disease with a very poor prognosis [if this is the type of pancreatic cancer Ginsburg has]. After being diagnosed, about 25% of people survive one year and 5% live for five years. If diagnosed early, the five year survival rate increases to about 20%.

If Ginsburg were to leave the court, this would guarantee a 6-3 conservative majority and would be a significant gain for the country.
