Ginsburg’s Cancer Surgery Reminds Liberals of Supreme Court’s Fragility

The 85-year-old jurist underwent lung surgery Friday to remove two cancerous growths. Although doctors found no evidence of any remaining disease, the episode was a reminder of how quickly a health issue can change the court’s composition.
