When will Associate Justice of the Supreme court Ruth Bader Ginsburg announce resignation?
Background: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/06/washington/06ginsburg.html?_r=1&hp
Justice Ginsburg, 75, was appointed to the court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. She was born in Brooklyn in 1933, graduated from Cornell in 1954 and first attended law school at Harvard, where she was on the law review. After moving to New York with her husband, she transferred to Columbia, joining its law review as well. She taught at Columbia and Rutgers, and was a leading courtroom advocate for women’s rights.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent surgery at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York on Thursday for what was apparently early-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a statement released by the Supreme Court.
The surgery followed the discovery of a lesion during an annual check-up in late January at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. A CAT scan revealed a small tumor, approximately one centimeter across, in the center of the pancreas, the court’s statement said.
According to Dr. Murray Brennan, the attending surgeon, Justice Ginsburg will most likely remain in the hospital approximately for seven to 10 days, the statement added. A spokeswoman for Sloan-Kettering declined to elaborate.
