The Legal Times (2/9, Mauro) reported, “The stunning news on Feb. 5 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s tough new battle with cancer instantly changed the dynamics of the Supreme Court, posing painful challenges not only for the feisty justice but for the other justices and the Obama administration” and “the immediate round of media speculation about her possible retirement-and who might replace her-may even bolster her determination to remain on the Court, says one Court watcher.” However, the Times adds, “Depending on the course of her post-operative recovery and treatment, her illness could affect Court operations through the end of the term or beyond and may alter not just her own tenure but those of other justices.”
