WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has had a series of health scares, underwent non-surgical treatment for a gallbladder condition on Tuesday and is “resting comfortably,” a court spokeswoman said.
Ginsburg, 87, had a gallstone that had caused an infection and was treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement. Ginsburg is expected to participate in the court’s oral arguments on Wednesday remotely from the hospital.

Every time Death shows up, she challenges the Reaper to a game. Even Death can't compete with that mind, and she gets another chance.

I am afraid she would be at a higher risk of catching covid if she is in an hospital for an unrelated condition.

breath, and didn't exhale until I read she's going to be OK. With McTurtle in charge of the senate, we can't do what the Pubs did to Obama, even though it's only 6 months till the election.

Wow, I can breath again, for a little while at leas!

"Oh no!"

Ginsburg is expected to participate in the court’s oral arguments on Wednesday remotely from the hospital.
"Fuck yeah! You go, gurl!"

Hang in there, Justice Ginsburg! Joe is coming. (We hope.)

She has to last until inauguration day, because you know that, even if Trump loses in a landslide, should she pass on before January 20, 2021, Donnie and McConnell will rush to fill her seat with another Kavanaugh-clone before then.

34. Ruth Bader Ginsburg destroys Trump solicitor general in live hearing from her hospital bed
Wed May 6, 2020, 11:23 AM
May 2020



Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg blasted the Trump administration for a rule that allows additional businesses to opt-out of providing no-cost birth control for women.

Ginsburg made the remarks during a telephone hearing that was streamed live due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The justice reportedly joined the hearing from her hospital bed where she is being treated for a gallstone infection.

“What the government has done in expanding this exemption is to toss to the wind entirely Congress’ instruction that women need and shall have seamless, no-cost comprehensive coverage,” Ginsburg told Solicitor General Noel Francisco. “They can get contraception coverage by paying out of their own pocket which is exactly what Congress did not want to happen.”
