Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell in her office Wednesday night. She later went home, but after a fitful night, she went to George Washington University Hospital , where she was admitted with three broken ribs. This is not the first time she has fallen and broken ribs.
She fell and broke two ribs in 2012. She was treateted for cancer in 1999. That was colon cancer and she underwent chemo for that. Then in 2009, she had an operation for pancreatic cancer. Although as a whole, Democrats hate religion, but dollars to donuts that there are millions of them down on their knees praying for a full recovery. None of them want Trump to pick a third judge for the Supreme Court.
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell in her office at the Court last evening,” the Supreme Courtpublic information office said Thursday morning. “She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning. Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment. Updates will be provided as they become available.”
The injury precluded Ginsburg from attending Thursday morning’s ceremonial investiture of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was confirmed on Oct 6. Trump, the First Lady, various administration officials, federal judges, and other well-placed members of Washington’s legal establishment are expected to attend.
Ginsburg is the high court’s oldest member. Her health is a continued source of anxiety for progressives. Ginsburg tends to dodge inquiries as to her well-being, insisting she will serve for as long as she is able.
Should President Trump receive a third pick for the Supreme Court, the court would remain conservative for two to three decades, effecctively limiting the ability of the liberal court justices from writing law from the bench.
