Supreme Court’s Unacceptable Policy of Hiding Justices’ Health Problems
For Liberty Staff,
U.S. Supreme Court justices have long been key players in the nation’s political life – including being big issues in presidential and congressional campaigns.
So, naturally, the health of individual justices is now an object of real concern – as is the court’s tendency to obscure, or simple cover-up, major health issues. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s only recently disclosed battle with liver cancer is a case in point. In a May statement, the court’s public affairs office said nothing about cancerâ€
On Friday, however, Ginsburg confirmed that the May statement did more to obscure the truth about her health than to illuminate it.
It turns out that back in February, the justice got word that a regular “scan†found lesions on her liver. A biopsy appears to have confirmed that the growths were malignant cancer, as Ginsburg says she embarked on immunotherapy and then chemotherapy when the first treatment “proved unsuccessful.â€
