Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Misses Nov. 13 Arguments Because of Illness

Ginsburg broke with judiciary tradition during the 2016 election by openly criticizing Trump on multiple occasions.

Zachary Stieber at Epoch Times brings us the latest:
"Chief Justice John Roberts said from the bench that Ginsburg is “indisposed due to illness.”

Ginsburg, 86, is at home with a stomach bug, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement sent to reporters.

...Ginsburg, the oldest member of the court, has struggled with health issues in recent years. She underwent her latest round of cancer treatment in August, the court announced weeks after the treatment started.

Ginsburg missed Supreme Court arguments for the first time in January after an earlier round of cancer treatment. Lung cancer was discovered when she underwent treatment for broken ribs she suffered after a fall.

Ginsburg, appointed by former President Bill Clinton in 1993, previously vowed to serve until at least 2020.

...If Ginsburg left the court, President Donald Trump would get his third nomination. He previously nominated Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, who were both confirmed."
I loathe her politics, and think she is one of the worst justices ever confirmed (Sotomayor and Kagan far surpassing Ginsburg in their ineptitude), but I do hope her health recovers so we can continue along in a fair fight for this republic.
