RBG's message one month after fall: "I'm still here"
Washington (CNN)Supreme Court arguments Thursday on a case involving double jeopardy immediately turned heated, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was among the most relentless in questioning a lawyer at the lectern.When another justice interrupted before the lawyer had finished answering one of Ginsburg's points, she did not give up.
"May I ask you to just step back so you can complete your answer to my question?" she said emphatically.
Ginsburg's message, explicit then, and implicit in other instances over the past month: I'm still here.
Since Ginsburg, 85, fell and cracked three ribs on November 7, there has been intense public scrutiny regarding her health and tenure on the nation's highest court.

I hope I'm as feisty as she is if I reach her age.
