Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg signaled she hopes to stay in the Supreme Court for at least another five years. Reuters reports Ginsburg, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton in 1993, was the second woman in U.S. history to sit on the Supreme Court. After a production of The Originalist, a play about Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February 2016, Ginsburg says, "My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years."
