The Supreme Court revealed Friday Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been undergoing chemotherapy treatments for liver cancer since May.
"On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) to treat a recurrence of cancer. A periodic scan in February followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on my liver. My recent hospitalizations to remove gall stones and treat an infection were unrelated to this recurrence," Justice Ginsburg released in a statement "Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now clear, I am providing this information."
"My most recent scan on July 7 indicated significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease. I am tolerating chemotherapy well and am encouraged by the success of my current treatment. I will continue bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay, and am able to maintain an active daily routine. Throughout, I have kept up with opinion writing and all other Court work," she continued. "I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam. I remain fully able to do that."
Earlier this week, Ginsburg was hospitalized overnight for an infection. She was released and is doing well.
"Justice Ginsburg was admitted to The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland early this morning for treatment of a possible infection. She was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. last night after experiencing fever and chills," the Court released in a statement Tuesday. "She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August. The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment."

Sorry Mom.
Romney will vote to give Biden a chance.
Ruthie would be a lot less than 500 years old, too.
Remark About Mummy Called Tacky
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-05-25-mn-8167-story.html
Clinton joked during a political fund-raiser Wednesday that the 500-year-old frozen mummy, known as the Ice Princess, was good-looking and if he were single he might ask her out. That mummy looks better than I do on my worst days, he said.
Yep
She needs to take up smoking.
She should step down now and live the rest of her life in peace. I wish her no ill will. Nothing will happen until after the election. If Trump wins, she would have wasted these important four months.
The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States and consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
LOL!
My point was that the House part of Congress has no role in appointing or confirming Judges/Justicesonly the Senate.
The next president will likely replace Ginsburg, Breyer, Thomas, and Alito.
Thomas and Alito should've retired and allowed President Trump to replace them. A potential President Biden (actually, his VP will be president in short order) will have the opportunity to flip the court.
So will Murkowski. And probably a couple of those Senators in tight re-elections. No way McConnell has 50 votes in the Senate.
I hope she makes it till Nov. 4. We don’t get to pick our expiry dates, but if Ginsburg passes either on Nov. 4 or Jan. 21, I’ll know something for certain.
May God rest her hideous soul.
ouch! i apologize :)
You said it. Some Freepers are really nuts.
Actually Congress consist of both the House of Reps and the Senate. Check it out and you will find out that I am correct

“Is there still time for another DJT appointment?”
The thought of a last minute SC nomination makes me grin ear to ear at just how pissed off the left would be, but the logistics would make it impossible this year.
What do you have against Justices Thomas and Justice Alito?. Justice Alito has only been Supreme court Justice since 2006.
