Justice Ginsburg at home

By GottaLaff

A ray of sunshine:

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been released from a New York hospital and is recovering from surgery at her home in Washington, a Supreme Court official says. [...]

According to her doctors, during the surgery to remove that tumor, which turned out to be benign, they discovered a previously undetected and even smaller tumor.

It was that smaller tumor, one they did not know existed, that turned out to be cancerous.

Her doctors say Justice Ginsburg's lymph nodes showed no sign of cancer, and they do not believe the pancreatic cancer spread. [...]

Ginsburg's associates say she remains determined to be at the Supreme Court when the justices return to the bench on Monday, Feb. 23.

Quickie: Ruth Bader Ginsburg progressing

While watching CSPAN (MSNBC is too busy letting Chris Matthews talk instead of airing all of the town hall doin's), I thought it might be nice to give you this bit of good news:

We're not likely to hear any further updates on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg until she's released from the New York hospital where she had surgery last week for pancreatic cancer.

Her doctor initially said she'd be in the hospital for 7 to 10 days, so we might hear something more Thursday or Friday.

Those familiar with her condition say she is making some phone calls and is "progressing" with her recovery.
