Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been hospitalized for a gallbladder infection, but she's well enough to participate in oral arguments remotely.
, RBG is convalescing at Johns Hopkins Hospital. She was treated without surgery for acute cholecystitis — a “benign gallbladder condition,” according to the office.
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent non-surgical treatment for acute cholecystitis, a benign gallbladder condition, this afternoon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland,” a statement from the Supreme Court said. “Following oral arguments on Monday, the Justice underwent outpatient tests at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., that confirmed she was suffering from a gallstone that had migrated to her cystic duct, blocking it and causing an infection.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been hospitalized. This is a good time to remind everybody that Mitch McConnell is one of the worst human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. And I’m sure Trump supporters are celebrating her hospitalization.The 87-year-old justice has had multiple health issues over the past few years, including more than one bout with cancer. She was treated for a tumor on her pancreas in August 2019.
There is a fair amount of pressure for RBG to remain on the bench, which isn’t exactly fair to an 87-year-old woman who has worked tirelessly throughout her entire life to be on the right side of history. Stepping down now means Donald Trump would be the one to appoint a new justice to the bench, and after Kavanaugh and *gestures widely to literally everything through the past four years*, we simply cannot afford to have that happen.It must be so immensely stressful for her.
We need to expand the court, impeach Kavanaugh, and stop allowing Mitch McConnell to steal SCOTUS seats and stack the courts with rightwingers.
