Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, making her first public appearance since it was announced that she had undergone recent treatment for pancreatic cancer, appeared strong Monday when she accepted an honorary degree from the University at Buffalo.
The 86-year-old liberal icon stood as she made remarks and briefly referenced her health, which has again been the focus of public speculation given her status as the court's senior-most liberal and the potential for President Donald Trump to dramatically shift the court to the right were she to retire."In July 2018, Wayne wrote to me that his health disabled him from playing a lead role in the arrangements for my visit here but he still hoped to attend all the events.
Friday's announcement from the Supreme Court's public information office said the pancreatic"tumor was treated definitively and there is no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body." The tumor was first detected after a blood test in July.Ginsburg's health has been a recurring subject of public interest because the high court, with its membership becoming increasingly conservative, is poised to transform the law in America.
