According to necn.com:
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is recovering from surgery for pancreatic cancer. This is the second time she has had cancer surgery, the first for colon cancer in 1999.
75-year old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had recently told her former law clerks that she planned to serve on the court into her eighties.
But that was before she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Ginsburg is at New York’s Sloane Kettering Cancer Center where she's had surgery to remove a 1-centimeter tumor in her pancreas.
The court announced that the cancer, discovered during a routine exam last month, is apparently in the early stages. But pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly cancers, prompting many to wonder what her departure would mean for the future of the court.

Itunes Price Change
Apple drops copy protection on iTunes
Apple has drawn the curtain on its valedictory keynote address at the Macworld Conference with a mixed bag of low key announcements and no mention of health matters or regime change - not even a nod to the absent chief executive Steve Jobs.
The presentation, which is usually the highlight of the annual Macworld Conference and Expo being held here, was delivered instead by Apple's senior vice-president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller.
The Apple executive kicked off his speech with a reference to some of the new retail stores in Sydney, Beijing and Munich which Apple opened last year.
In particular, he highlighted the Sydney store which opened in July, and threw up a dramatic shot on the large screen of the opening night on George Street.
"A beautiful city has a beautiful Apple Store," Schiller told the audience.
The headline announcement was that Apple plans to make its entire catalogue of music available without copy protection by the end of March.
In April, Apple will also introduce flexible pricing plans for music bought through its online iTunes store, offering three levels of prices. Currently, all iTunes songs cost $1.69.
A deal struck with the key music publishers means that older song will be cheaper; current but non-hit songs, the same price as they are now; and smash hits more expensive.
The move to end wrapping songs downloaded for use on iPods and iPhones with the restrictive digital rights management (DRM) protection also means that it will become much easier for users to move their music collection to any player - including non-Apple devices.
Apple, which began the move towards offering DRM-free music downloads in 2007, will from today offer 80 per cent of its catalogue of 10 million songs without copy protection. The remaining 20 per cent will be offered DRM-free by the end of March.
The deal between Apple and the music publishers also frees up Apple to sell music downloads on the iPhone over the 3G network. Previously, users had to connect to a wireless network if they wanted to download songs directly to theiriPhones.
In addition to the iTunes changes, Apple has revamped its range of software for the Mac range of computers with extensive overhauls for iLife and iWorks.
iPhoto now includes some innovative updates that will utilise face recognition and geo-tagging technology to sort users' photo libraries more intelligently.
And in the Garage Band application, users can now purchase music tutorials conducted by famous names such as Sting, Norah Jones and John Fogerty.
The key hardware announcement was the expected upgrade to Apple's top line notebook, the 17 inch MacBook Pro. The big change here is the addition of a new, eco-friendly battery technology promising 7 to 8 hours of life between recharges.
This is Apple's final appearance at the independently-run Macworld, a decision announced by the company in December. Apple also said that Steve Jobs would not be delivering the keynote address, something he has done since 1997.
Jobs announced earlier this week that he was being treated from a "hormone imbalance" that was "'robbing' me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy".
However, he said he would continue in his role as chief executive while he was receiving the "relatively simple and straightforward" treatment.
The announcement came after rumours surfaced that Jobs, who has shown signs of weight loss over the past six months, was suffering a recurrence of problems associated with the case of pancreatic cancer he was diagnosed with in 2004.
This year's Macworld, which runs from Tuesday to Friday, is expected to attract some 40,000 visitors and will features more than 450 companies promoting products and services geared for Apple users.
