Ruth Bader Ginsburg unable to attend February speaking event in NYC, organizers say
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg backed out of a scheduled appearance next month at the 92nd Street Y while she continues to recover from a recent early-stage lung cancer surgery, the organization said Wednesday.
The announcement came less than a month before the Feb. 6 event was set to be held.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg regrets that she is unable to attend the talk with David Rubenstein at 92Y on February 6,” the organization said in a statement. “She is curtailing travel and focusing on her work while recuperating from recent surgery. We are working to secure a new date, and will be sure to let you know as soon as the event is rescheduled.”
The 85-year-old justice has missed recent court sessions and instead has been working from home, the court announced Friday — adding that her surgery recovery remained “on track.”
“Post-surgery evaluation indicates no evidence of remaining disease, and no further treatment is required,” Supreme Court public information officer Kathy Arberg said in a statement.
