Justice Ginsburg hospitalized after cancer surgery

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.
