A court spokeswoman confirmed that Ginsburg was at home with a stomach bug.

The 86-year-old justice has faced recurring health concerns. Ginsburg, who is considered the leader of the court’s liberal wing, is a four-time cancer survivor.

In January, she missed her first oral argument in more than 25 years while recuperating from surgery to remove cancerous nodules from her lung.

The court was scheduled to hear oral arguments in two cases on Wednesday: Comcast Corporation v. National Association of African American-Owned Media, et al., and Ritzen Group, Inc. v. Jackson Masonry, LLC.
