US Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg returns to work after stomach bug
US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, widely seen as the leader of the court's liberal wing, returned to work on Friday after missing a day of oral arguments due to illness, local media reported.
The 86-year-old justice was absent from arguments in two cases earlier this week due to a stomach bug, a court spokesperson said.
Chief Justice John Roberts said Ginsburg would participate in deciding the cases based on written briefs and oral argument recordings, according to a report by The Hill.
On Friday, the Supreme Court is expected to release audio of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals arguments from Tuesday, during which Ginsburg was present, and potentially announce whether it will grant more cases for this term's docket.
President Donald Trump on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to block a subpoena demanding his accounting firm to turn over eight years of his tax returns to Manhattan prosecutors, the president's personal attorney Jay Sekulow said in a statement.
The Supreme Court now has five conservatives and four liberals. Ginsburg, a cancer survivor, has faced recurring health concerns.
