CNBC ^ | 05-05-2020 | AP

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent non-surgical treatment for a benign gallbladder condition.

Bader was treated at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore and is resting comfortably and plans to take part in Wednesday’s teleconference arguments, the court said.

The Supreme Court released the following statement:

“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent non-surgical treatment for acute cholecystitis, a benign gallbladder condition, this afternoon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. 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. The Justice is resting comfortably and plans to participate in the oral argument teleconference tomorrow morning remotely from the hospital. She expects to stay in the hospital for a day or two.”

A good right to the solar plexus should shake those gallstones loose.

He really didn’t have an answer.

Probably defective. I’m not put together very well.

For I don’t know how many years I had random bouts of feeling weak and miserable among other things.

After recovering from surgery, most of that went away. No other real life changes.

Yep...my first thought, regardless of how they report her health issues cancer isn’t a done deal for her.

This is not a good time for her seat to open up, whatever the circumstance. Democrats will scream about the one year “rule” and demand the president wait until after the election for a successor to be named. If a replacement were to be nominated before the election this would totally energize the base. States where President Trump won by the slimmest of margins would become battlegrounds, where the DNC would make a huge effort to flip, and these states would also see rampant voter fraud to make up any deficiencies. So, this is not the time for this battle to take place.

I think it will be God who determines if this is the right time to ‘open’ her seat.

could have been either depending on how septic she was. percutaneous drainage is quicker and less risky

Aw, jeez. My gallbladder went so bad so quick, they just went in with pliers and yanked it out. I had to wait a week to see the surgeon, so they gave me a bottle of hydrocodone the size of a beer can to take the edge off. Toughen up, you old buzzard.

My momma said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. I’m following her advice.

Allow every citizen to see their physicians and get elective surgery.
