U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was back on the bench today, five days after she had a stent implanted to clear a blocked artery. The Associated Press reports that she questioned lawyers in “in her usual exacting fashion.” Ginsburg was hospitalized last Tuesday after experiencing discomfort during an exercise session. The 81-year-old Ginsburg is the oldest justice. She has been on the court since 1993 and has not missed a day, despite two earlier bouts with cancer in 1999 and 2009, and the death of her husband in 2010.
