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.

Sorry, but who is RGH? Thanks!
Living peacefully in the liberal mind is doing whatever it takes, no matter how painful and foolish it is, to disrupt the conservative agenda. And of course like a true liberal hero take it to the grave. Damn! What a way to live life.
“You might consider going a little easy on RBG. While we all vehemently disagree with her judicial attitudes, she is still an elderly person, and where I am from , automatically warrants some respect. Just sayin’”
Agreed.
Bingo!
It’ll be interesting when she’s nominated (and she will be)what the rats will have up their sleeves to smear her.
Hopefully, she will retire.
Remember what the sleestack said!
I feel like the ne’er do well nephew in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode who giggles when rich auntie takes a tumble.
She’s dead?!?!
Wow.
That fruit George Takei sent her a tweet calling her “our guardian angel”
How sweet.
Indeed. Can't move normally. Can't breath normally...and heaven forbid you should cough. Poor thing. I hope she gets the message and decides to retire and take it easy.
Broken ribs in a person of that age is perhaps a much more serious problem than first admitted.
Broken ribs make it difficult to take a full breath, and in the presence of limited and shallow breathing, fluid accumulation and potentially pneumonia could take things very wrong very quickly.
Even in a hospital setting, pneumonia can be deadly.
Perhaps this similar to the Soviet media announcing a leader has a cold only to announce a few days later they have died .
She did not want to go when Ohoha was president because of two things. First, she did not trust him. Second, she was into gender politics.
And both have serious mental disorders
Kavanaugh was a simple warm up compared to what will happen if/when RGB is replaced. You ain’t seen nothing yet!

Yep, the political temperature is rising. 2019 is going to be a year of intense political warfare.
Sorry, I watched Hunt for Red October the other night.
Justice Kavenaugh: Justice Ginsburg, hold my beer while i help you down these stairs.
