Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dismisses concerns over her health, saying she is 'very much alive.'
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reflected on her health amid concerns for the 86-year-old, who underwent cancer surgery in December that caused her to miss oral arguments for the first time in 25 years.
"There was a senator, I think it was after my pancreatic cancer, who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months," Ginsburg said."That senator, whose name I have forgotten, is now himself dead, and I am very much alive."The justice did not name a senator in her NPR interview, but in 2009, the late Sen. Jim Bunning, a Kentucky Republican, made controversial remarks about her health.
"I am pleased to report that, contrary to Sen. Bunning's prediction, I am alive and in good health," Ginsburg said at the time. During his presidency, Trump has already appointed two justices to the court —Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
