Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg announced she had a recurrence of pancreatic cancer in May, but is on the mend and has no intention of stepping down from the highest court in the land.
Ginsburg, 87, has been diagnosed with cancer five times since 1999 and thrice since 2018. She has survived colon, lung and now pancreatic cancer. She was released from hospital earlier this week after contracting an infection in her bile duct.
Even if one is inclined to disagree with her judicial opinions one cannot dispute that she has one strong constitution. Ginsburg, who was appointed to the Court by President Clinton in 1993, might have a fragile 5,1 frame but her mind and spirit are as strong as ever. As it stands, this country can use every bit of her mind and spirit as we can get.
