Noooooooooooo

US supreme court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has had a series of health scares, has undergone non-surgical treatment for a gallbladder condition and was resting comfortably, a court spokeswoman said.

I don't care. A hospital is the last place RGB needs to be during a pandemic. It's a bad place to be under normal circumstances.

Ginsburg was expected to participate in the court’s oral arguments on Wednesday remotely from the hospital.

Most recently, Ginsburg was admitted to a hospital in November for two nights suffering from a fever and chills, but returned to work at the court the day after being released. In January she said she was cancer free.

The health of the liberal justice is closely watched because a supreme court vacancy would give Republican president Donald Trump the opportunity to appoint a third justice to the nine-member court and push it further to the right. The court currently has a 5-4 conservative majority.

It's a sad commentary on the status of democracy in this country that we even have to think about the Supreme Court in those terms.
