(AP Photo/Steve Helber) Good news for fans of the Notorious RBG, and anybody else concerned about the direction of the Supreme Court under President Trump: Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she is now cancer-free. The 86-year-old, who is one of the court's four liberal justices, told CNN this week that treatment for a tumor on her pancreas has been successful. Ginsburg has been treated for cancer four times in her 26 years on the nation's highest court and underwent surgery for two malignant growths in her left lung in 2018, reports the New York Times. The paper notes that Ginsburg's health has become a "preoccupation of the American public" following Trump's appointment of two conservative justices.
