Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from the hospital on Christmas Day and is recovering at home following her surgery to remove cancerous nodules from her left lung last week. Doctors said there is no other evidence of cancer in her body, and the 85-year-old is expected to make a full recovery, according to the public information officer for the Supreme Court. Ginsburg has been treated for cancer two other times, but has never missed arguments at the high court.
