Ginsburg, 87, is the second female justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. Her health has been closely monitored. According to the regulations, the Justices will perform their duties until their death or voluntary retirement.
The Supreme Court is currently made up of 5 conservative justices and 4 liberal justices, including Ginsburg. The media generally believes that if there is a vacancy in the justice position, US President Donald Trump is likely to appoint a conservative person to further "rightward" the Supreme Court.
Previously, due to the vacancy of the justice position, Trump has nominated Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh as justices of the Federal Supreme Court in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and both nominations were finally voted on in the Senate. Both are conservatives.
