Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been “hospitalized for surgery for pancreatic cancer.” NPR reports:
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the only woman currently serving on the nation’s highest court, underwent surgery Thursday for removal of a cancerous tumor from her pancreas. … Ginsburg has served on the court since 1993. She was treated for colon cancer 10 years ago.
