Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Has Lung Cancer Surgery
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Justice Ginsburg's vote came as she was hospitalized in a New York City
cancer center, where surgeons on Friday removed two malignant growths in
her left lung. Doctors have called the surgery a success and say there's
no sign that Ginsburg's cancer has spread. Ginsburg is 85 years old;
last month she cracked three ribs after a fall inside the Supreme Court.
2018 marked Ginsburg's 25th year on the court, and she has not announced
any plans to retire.
