According to the AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is making her first public appearance since undergoing lung cancer surgery in December.

The 85-year-old Ginsburg is attending a concert at a museum a few blocks from the White House that is being given by her daughter-in-law and other musicians. Patrice Michaels is married to Ginsburg’s son, James. Michaels is a soprano and composer.

The concert is dedicated to Ginsburg’s life in the law.

Ginsburg had surgery in New York on Dec. 21. She missed arguments at the court in January, her first illness-related absence in more than 25 years as a justice.

She has been recuperating at her home in Washington since late December.

Ginsburg had two previous bouts with cancer. She had colorectal cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009.

The justice sat in the back of the darkened auditorium at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

The National Constitution Center, which sponsored the concert, did not permit photography.

Hmmm…why sit at the back in a dark setting? And why no photographs allowed? And why do reporters tolerate prohibitions on taking pics of public figures?

Could it be because she is in very bad shape?

It is funny this “public” appearance comes as many conservative outlets demand #ProofOfLife. This just adds to the mystery of #WhereIsRuth?

Regardless, if she made it out to a concert she should make it to the State of the Union tomorrow, right?
