WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to a hospital on Tuesday morning for treatment of a possible infection, a court spokeswoman said.

"The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment," spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement.
Ginsburg, 87, was initially seen at a hospital in Washington, D.C., on Monday night after experiencing fever and chills. She underwent a procedure at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on Tuesday afternoon to clean a bile duct stent that was placed last August.
Ginsburg, the court's oldest justice, has had a series of health scares in recent years. Last May she underwent non-surgical treatment for a gallstone that had caused an infection.

Fever and chills. I hope it’s not COVID. She is a tough old lady and I wish her well. With all the health issues she has been having IMO it’s time for her to move on and try to enjoy the rest of her years.
While I have no idea if she knows better than you what's best for her (or if you know better than her), consider the possibility that perhaps she has herself decided not to retire-- but rather continue serving 'till her death. (After all, while Justices are "appointed for life"-- there's no law that would force her to retire, if what she wants to do is continue there...)
Never said I knew what was best for her. I gave my opinion. I also never said anything about forcing her to retire. Of course she is free to die on the bench. Totally her choice.
Hope she's okay.
Don't agree with her much but unlike many here i don't hold hate in my heart for those i simply disagree with.
Get well Ruth!
Really nice post, Sparty. I agree with your sentiment.
NO ONE "simply disagrees" with Trump , (I assume that is what you were getting at). He's not fucking fit to hold office. Maybe one day before you die 40 or 50 years from now you will realize that.
Nah, you wouldn't "get" what i was getting at. You're too far gone.
And if i'm still here 40 or 50 years from now ..... it will be a very big surprise but if i am.
I promise you i won't be worrying about nonsense like this discussion.
If she is really concerned about who might replace her, I don't know why she didn't just quit while Obama was president.
