Tests revealed that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has no additional cancer following her surgery in December, and no further treatment is needed, the Supreme Court announced Friday. This week, for the first time since she joined the court in 1993, she missed a round of oral arguments. Ginsburg is the oldest member of the court, and the longest-serving member of the court’s four-member liberal wing. Her absence this week has raised questions about whether she would continue on the court. Her retirement would give President Trump a chance to nominate a third justice.
