Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on Friday night with a possible infection, the Supreme Court said Saturday night, the latest health scare to confront the 86-year-old senior member of the court.
Ginsburg, the leader of the court’s liberal wing, has been treated twice in the past year for cancer. She missed a recent session of the court’s arguments with what a spokeswoman described as a stomach bug, although she returned to the bench last week.
The court waited 24 hours before disclosing Ginsburg’s most recent health scare.
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore last night after experiencing chills and fever earlier in the day,” the court said in a news release issued Saturday night.

DUMP and McConnell are probably in the Oval Office, celebrating.

The poor old girl, I hope she rallies. Though she's looking frail, I should think if she's been given antibiotics early enough she'll pull through.

Just let it sink in that Trump is going to appoint fucking three SC judges.
The battle for America isn't in 2020, it was in 2016 and they won.

This is why we have to win in 2020. She is not going to hang in there much longer. I pray to baby Jesus that she can hold on at least 6 more months.

R3 Let's truly hope otherwise. It is annoying she didnt step down at a more optimum time but we are were we are and we desperately need to route for her to hang on in there.

6 months won’t do. If they have two weeks left, they’ll cram a new Justice through.

R17 DJT would probably even tweet her. Something classy like Ruthie, baby, looking good (perfect), I want nothing! But these pics are the greatest, the best ever. Fantastic really.

A lot of older people who are frail cling to life around the holidays only to succumb as soon aa they’re over.
I wish her the best.

I think we need to think hard about a Weekend at Bernie's scenario. Couldn't be that much more passive and useless than Thomas already is.

I have to believe that RBG will make it. But, if she doesn't, at least Moscow Mitch won't give a hearing during an election year ...

I don't know how she does it! She's remarkable for an 86 year old most people in their 60's and 70's would struggle with what she has gone through.

r22, but he will, he will.
Having control of the Senate and the Potus to nominate they will not leave it up to the will of the people. They are hypocrites and aren't afraid to admit to it. I would hope if she could last out the winter there wouldn't be enough time to have the hearings and it would really be a look they don't want.

Exactly r7. The battle for America already happened, it was in 2016. But too many fuckers wanted to bitch about how Hillary wasn't a perfect candidate.

No one other Betty White should ever be working at such an advanced age. With every year it becomes less noble and more undignified. I can understand the need to keep busy and to feel useful, but there are more appropriate ways for people in their late 80s to do that.

That will be clarified to be an election year with a lame duck president.

I'd be very interested in seeing how much her medical and home health care bills amount to from the last three years. I'd guess nearly three million.

If she makes it to 2020 is her seat save till the next election? Isn't there an agreement that you don't nominate a new judge during an election year? Not that Trump would actually care...

Whichever doc has been replacing Cheney's corroded insides with new spockets and such, needs to be given a big, fat bribe to fix Ruth so she lasts long enough to see a better person than 45 in the WH.
