    It’s Ginsburg’s third bout with cancer since she joined the court in 1993.

    The court says the 85-year-old Ginsburg had the surgery Friday in New York and will remain in the hospital for a few days.

    The court says doctors found “no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body.” The court says no additional treatment is planned currently.

    The growths were found during tests Ginsburg had after she fractured ribs in a fall on Nov. 7.

    Ginsburg is being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

    The odds of her remaining on the Court until January 2021 (even assuming that Trump loses re-election) are pretty small! Not that I’m wishing this senile machshefeh (remember the interview she gave before the election [she would probably have to recuse herself if a matter involving Trump came before the Court?]) That she should just die already! Ok, I am wishing that she finally go to her just reward in the Oilem HaEmes together with Jimmy Carter.

    Perhaps it’s time for her to retire & get physically well. But because a conservative will be appointed to replace her she won’t, she’ll more than likely die at her desk. Is being a virulent “democrat” worth it?

    Do the patriotic thing and step down unless she is a partisan, so dishonorable of this woman to want to leave in a box

    Hopefully surgery is just another way of saying gun shot and cancerous growths is another way of saying brain
