Justice Ginsburg has liver cancer - rasing stakes for 2020 election

****Breaking, via the WSJ 

"WASHINGTON—Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Friday she is being treated for liver cancer, but remains fully able to perform her work at the Supreme Court.

"The court’s eldest member and leader of its liberal wing, Justice Ginsburg said lesions on her liver were discovered during a February biopsy, and that the initial treatment of immunotherapy proved unsuccessful. On May 19, she began chemotherapy, which “is yielding positive results,” she said in a statement released by the court."

Granted, the woman is resilient (surviving four previous bouts with cancer). But is she likely to continue her Supreme Court tenure beyond the 2021 presidential term? Not likely.

Will Trump have enough time to fast track her replacement prior to the expiration of his first term? Again, not likely.

The biggest issue of this presidential race will not be COVID-19, or Black Lives Matter, but rather the Supreme Court.
