It was a public appearance that helped allay concerns. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke before a group in Washington on Saturday, but it wasn’t so much what she said but how she looked. The Washington Post writes:
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Saturday that her work on the Supreme Court has “kept me going” through four bouts of cancer — including one disclosed quite recently — and that she is “on my way to being very well.”
NBC News reports:
Near the beginning of an hour-long talk, her interviewer, NPR reporter Nina Totenberg, said: “Let me ask you a question that everyone here wants to ask, which is: How are you feeling? Why are you here instead of resting up for the term? And are you planning on staying in your current job?”
“How am I feeling? Well, first, this audience can see that I am alive,” Ginsburg said to applause and cheers.“
The Supreme Court returns to hear oral arguments on October 7 and Ginsburg says she will be prepared “when the time comes.”
