Original Message The 85-year-old Ginsburg had surgery Dec. 21.

The announcement that rocked the judicial world came from Chief Justice John Roberts at the start of Monday's Supreme Court oral argument -- that his colleague, who normally sits immediately to his left, would not be on the bench.

It marked the first time Ginsburg missed an oral argument in her quarter-century on the high court, though Roberts noted she would participate in consideration of the pending cases "on the basis of briefs, filings and transcripts."

Ginsburg then missed sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, raising concerns about her long-term health prognosis as well as the short-term functioning of the court.

The absence has led to precautionary planning in Washington.

Sources confirmed to Fox News that the White House has quietly reached out to a small number of GOP lawmakers and conservative legal advocates, reassuring them it would be ready for any court vacancy. Under new White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, a ready list of top-tier candidates is being updated.
