'There was a senator -- I think it was after the pancreatic cancer -- who announced with great glee that I was going to be dead within six months. That senator -- whose name I've forgotten -- is now himself dead. And I am very much alive,' Ginsburg said.
Washington Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Tuesday sought to quell concerns that her recent health-related issues could cause her to leave the court, saying in a new interview,"I am very much alive."
The comments to NPR from Ginsburg, 86 -- who earlier this year took a break from the court after undergoing cancer surgery -- come amid concerns from progressives that her death or retirement would give President Donald Trump an opportunity to replace a reliably liberal seat on the court with a conservative justice.
