Ginsburg back on bench after stomach bug

Ginsburg was absent to hear arguments last Wednesday, her first in a quarter-century as a justice.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is back on the Supreme Court bench after missing time last week with what the court described as a stomach bug.

The 86-year-old Ginsburg climbed the three steps and took her seat for a brief court session Monday. She was absent when the justices last met in public, to hear arguments on Wednesday.
