Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reaffirmed her health to a Washington, D.C., audience on Saturday
U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg participates in a discussion at Georgetown University Law Center July 2, 2019 in Washington, DC.Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was interviewed on stage in Washington, D.C., in one of her first public appearances since the announcement of her treatment for pancreatic cancer last week.
Amid concerns about the 86-year-old justice's health, Ginsburg told the National Book Festival on Saturday that, as"this audience can see, I am alive." The upcoming session of the Supreme Court has a docket loaded with politically charged issues, such as LGBTQ rights and, potentially, gun control. Democrats fear that President Donald Trump may have a near-historic chance to nominate a third Supreme Court justice to the bench during his first term should Ginsburg's health falter. No president since Richard Nixon has appointed more than three justices to the Supreme Court.
