Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, breaks ribs in fall
CNBC ^ | 8 Nov 18 | Tucker Higgins

Posted on 11/08/2018 6:27:56 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, fell in her office at the court and fractured three ribs, according to a release from the court Thursday.

"She went home, but after experiencing discomfort overnight, went to George Washington University Hospital early this morning," the statement said. "Tests showed that she fractured three ribs on her left side and she was admitted for observation and treatment."

Ginsburg's health has been a matter of intense speculation in recent years. Ginsburg, the court's oldest member, is one of the court's four liberal justices. She has survived multiple bouts with cancer, and in 2014 underwent a procedure to have a stent placed in her right coronary artery.

The court said that more information would be provided as it became available.

It is not the first time that Ginsburg has fractured her ribs while on the court. In June 2012, Ginsburg fractured two ribs in a fall and did not disclose the incident to the public until months later.

Not something to wish on anyone. That is very painful.

Democrats all over the country will be deeply upset and concerned by this news. They don’t give a damn about Ginsburg’s health and well being.....they are scared to death that President Trump may soon get to nominate another Supreme Court Justice.

Kavanaugh was a simple warm up compared to what will happen if/when RGB is replaced. You ain’t seen nothing yet!

She wanted so badly for a female president, Hillary Clinton, to fill her seat. I was surprised she didn’t retire when Obama was in office. She’s a tough bird and I wouldn’t count her out just yet.

Jobs’ billions couldn’t save him from that fate.

His final words;
Oh, wow!
