Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg had surgery yesterday for the deadly pancreatic cancer. She will be in the hospital for 7-10 days.
Ginsberg is the one and only woman serving on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The lifelong feminist is 75 years old.
Update: New York Times: Justice Ginsburg is a member of the court’s liberal wing. Her appointment in 1993 marked the end of a 26-year gap during which no Democratic president made an appointment to the Supreme Court. The last justice named by a Democratic president before her was, fittingly perhaps, Justice Thurgood Marshall, appointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967. President Clinton also appointed Justice Stephen G. Breyer, in 1994. via
