Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hints at 'sharp divisions' ahead, as she looks to her 26th year on the Supreme Court bench
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who faced two serious health scares in the past year at age 86, is looking ahead to a 26th year on the bench and hinting at"sharp divisions" ahead for the court.
The remarks signaled Ginsburg’s characteristic determination to stay on the bench, defying speculation that she may be nearing retirement by choice or infirmity. "Of the 43 argued cases resolved so far, only 11, or just over 25 percent, were decided by a vote of 5 to 4 or 5 to 3,” Ginsburg said. “Given the number of most watched cases still unannounced, I cannot predict that the relatively low sharp divisions ratio will hold."
