Ruth Bader Ginsburg has no plans to retire soon from the Supreme Court

PARK CITY, Utah _ Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says thanks for asking, but she has no plans to retire anytime soon.

She has law clerks on staff through the court's 2020 term. The earliest she could step down would be in 2021 _ when she is 88.

But she said Sunday she doesn't plan to do that.

During a Sundance "Cinema Talks" conversation with Nina Totenberg in Park City, Ginsburg said that her health is "very good" and that she still enjoys the work.

"As long as I can do the job full steam, I will be here."

Ginsburg joined the Supreme Court in 1993 and generally votes with the court's liberal wing. Democrats worry that if she steps down, President Donald Trump would appoint a more conservative justice, tilting the court's balance.
