Ruth Bader Ginsburg Has Pancreatic Cancer

Source

I expect a summer Supreme Court nomination.

The cancer is apparently early stage but pancreatic cancer has a pretty low survival rate, it is also painful. At least the two cases I remember working on when I was working the wards at Naval Hospital Millington were incredible amounts of pain and were doped up constantly. Pain management has progressed a lot since then, but I expect that Justice Ginsburg will require pretty extensive management.
