President Donald Trump had encouraging words for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as she recovers from treatment for a malignant tumor.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump had encouraging words for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as she recovers from treatment for a malignant tumor on her pancreas.
“I'm hoping she's going to be fine,” Trump said before boarding Marine One to head to the G-7 Summit in France. “She's pulled through a lot. She's strong, very tough.” The Supreme Court said Friday that the malignant tumor on her pancreas was detected during a routine blood test last month. Her health has become a concern among both conservatives and progressives as the possible end of her tenure could allow Trump to replace her with another conservative justice and further shift the ideological balance of the high court for decades to come.Since taking office, he has has appointed two conservatives to the nine-member court, creating a majority of five Republican appointees. Justice Neill Gorsuch was sworn in in April 2017, and Justice Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in in October.
