Far-Left Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going to miss her first oral argument ever due to her cancer surgery she had last month.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is missing arguments for the first time in more than 25 years as she recuperates from cancer surgery last month, the Supreme Court said.
Ginsburg was not on the bench as the court met Monday to hear arguments. It was not clear when she would return to the court, which will hear more cases on Tuesday and Wednesday, and again next week.
Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said the 85-year-old justice is continuing to recuperate and work from home after doctors removed two cancerous growths from her left lung on Dec. 21
Ginsburg was discharged from a New York hospital on Dec. 25.
Ginsburg is still yet to show signs of her stepping down from the bench, however. She has hired clerks through 2020 which basically shuts down the idea she plans on stepping down anytime soon.
