WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore on Friday night after experiencing chills and fever earlier in the day, a Supreme Court spokeswoman said on Saturday.

Justice Ginsburg was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington before being transferred to Johns Hopkins for further evaluation and treatment of any possible infection, the spokeswoman, Kathleen Arberg, said in a statement.

Justice Ginsburg’s symptoms abated after treatment with intravenous antibiotics and fluids, Ms. Arberg said, adding the justice expected to be released from the hospital as early as Sunday morning.

Justice Ginsburg, 86, has had a series of health scares lately, including surgery for lung cancer and radiation treatment for pancreatic cancer in the last year. Over the years, Justice Ginsburg has also had surgery for early-stage pancreatic cancer in 2009 and treatment for colon cancer in 1999.

She missed oral arguments on Nov. 13, which she seldom does.

Justice Ginsburg is the senior member of the court’s four-member liberal wing. She has repeatedly vowed to stay on the court as long as her health holds and she stays mentally sharp.

President Trump has appointed two members of the Supreme Court, Justices Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh. The last president to appoint more than two justices in his first term was Richard M. Nixon, who put four on the court from 1969 to 1972. Those appointments spelled the end of the liberal court that had been led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and created a conservative majority that remains to this day.

The current court is closely divided, with five Republican appointees and four Democratic ones. A third Trump appointee would not only make the balance more lopsided but would also almost certainly move the court’s ideological center to the right.

Looks like it. It sure took a while for the “news” to get out through to the main stream media.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will soon learn the Supreme Court is not supreme.

I pray for her as I do for all those who would hold me in contempt and spite.

Or report that RBG dislocated her shoulder in a skiing accident.

I see now. The Supreme Court, not the hospital, is saying the Justice Ginsburg “expects to be released from the hospital as early as Sunday morning.”

The question is what do the doctors at John Hopkins say. Hmmm?

John Hopkins has a good morgue.

If RBG were to die soon, just watch how fast Dem pols and the lying media invoke ‘the Biden Rule’. The exact same ‘rule’ they ignored for Merrick Garland. Double standards are the only standards the left has.

If they have any ethics they won’t say anything.

And they shouldn’t. It’s none of our business. When she dies, I am sure someone will let us know. Until then, leave her in peace.
