Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be missing oral arguments for the first time as she stays home on Jan 7 to recuperate from lung cancer surgery, according to a court spokesperson.
“Justice Ginsburg is unable to be present today, but will participate in the consideration and decision of the cases on the basis of the briefs and the transcripts of oral arguments,” Chief Justice John Roberts said from the bench, according to an emailed statement. Earlier, court spokesperson Kathy Arberg told reporters that Ginsburg will be working from home.
