Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had two malignant growths in her left lung removed at a New York hospital on Dec. 21. It’s the third time the Supreme Court’s oldest justice has been treated for cancer and her second stay in a hospital in two months.
Ginsburg, 85, will remain in the hospital for a few days, the court said. She has never missed arguments in more than 25 years as a justice. The court next meets on Jan. 7.
