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.

All is cool. Thanks.
I see that this is an ongoing argument.
I volunteer to use my training and experience as a certified mediator to help get through this.
Let’s all start with a statement we can all agree with.
“Keep your big goddamn nose out of our business.”
OK.
A little harsh, but let’s go with it.
Let’s all write this statement.
Keep your big goddamn nose out of our business.
There.
Now don’t we all feel better?
I know I do.
It’s like a great burden has been lifted from my shoulders.
No, don't you dare put words in my mouth....that makes YOU a liar. I merely stated she may already be dead. Others are talking about her double. Most people don't survive the cancer she allegedly had. The holy sacrament of liberals is abortion, and they would be likely to initiate such a hoax to prevent shifting the balance of the court.
These are the worst threads on FR. Supposedly Christian people professing their desire for another person’s death.
Which I didn't do.
OH!....You're a Christian!
Where in Christian doctrine does it instruct you to bear false witness? (lie) And is that term you called me found in the Old or the New Testament?
she isn’t Hitler.
Really? What's the difference? She's a tyrant!...She's proud of her legacy of death....the millions of unborns that have been murdered in the womb, just like Hitler, who would look in on the gas chambers and ovens to admire his handiwork. She would and has fought tooth and nail any effort to curtail infanticide.
Everything she has done has been through the legal channels of this country.
Yeah right!
Legislating from the bench is not legal nor Constitutional. Virtually every contrarian position she took on the Supreme Court was anti-Constitutional.
If you don’t like it, elect better people.
Elect!!! She was never elected.
Change the laws. You have no one to blame except your hypocritical selves.
She's one of those judges who creates or changes the laws, just like those federal judges blocking Trumps executive orders.
You sicken me.
Good, I'll try to make it a daily habit.
Now, defend that thieving communist baby-killer Bernie Sanders. You elected him.
Jim, I totally agree with you on this.
They are the political party manifestation of those with no moral boundaries, and militant hatred toward any who espouse them.
And there are many examples of the same willingness to break the system, to bring about their objectives.
Recall a number of ballet boxes from more conservative leaning Chicago districts coming up missing under Mayor Daly, or several of Bush Sr’s cabinate getting indicted in the couple of weeks/days before the election against Clinton!
After Clinton/Gore won, (with big Chinese funding, and third party H. Ross Perot help), most of the indictments were thrown out for lack of evidence! In other words, manufactured crimes to impact the election.
Now we have a very real joint left wing DNC/globalist”interagency” /Russian/Ukrainian/FVEY+Italy effort to stop a Trump presidency, and then to carry out what really is a Coup, utilizing manufactured false “evidence”.
They truly are this militant, and will stop at nothing.
I would expect increased political agression and assertiveness to stop President Trump in replacing RBG, even without the false flag coup/impeachment effort.
But they already have these political structures in place, so they will use them in stopping another SCOTUS appointment.
The precedent is when the president and majority in the Senate are from different parties.
I look at this as me fulfilling my calling.
What is my calling, you might ask?
Here it is:
“blueunicorn6, get your behind home for dinner or I’m giving it to the dog.”
I know it’s true because my Mom and my wife used the very same words.
You’re exaggerating and picking a fight.
I’m done with this thread and that hole.
I think he’s “full of new wine”.
I remember pretty clearly wanting to sex a 15 year old Britney Spears and I am not feeling too guilty about it even though it probably would have been a serious sin in your rule book.
I'll say it. If she croaks I'll be celebrating.
And this is what I hate. Makes me feel like a circling vulture to keep checking on her health but that's where they've put us, the future of the Supreme Court riding on this woman's checkout time and she's going to stay until her last breath. Shame on all them for this farce. Let the woman die at home, stop the show.
I stand by what I said, the possibility that she has already died. It’s possible she may have been “on ice” for quite a while.
Trump has just announced that something really big is about to come out, and the deep state/RATagandists could use an overblown, week-long press event to help cover it up....like a big-ass state funeral.
The headline of this thread could be serving the same purpose as the punch line of the old joke:
“Mother’s up on the roof, and she won’t come down,”
The will to live is very powerful....but there comes a time when the body gives way to death nonetheless.
here comes a time when the body gives way to death nonetheless.
Sad to think she might still be in her right mind
but with a body being kept alive for political reasons.
People like Soros may live too long until they are
only being kept alive for other reasons.
