Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from the hospital Friday after having been admitted for treatment and observation after fracturing three ribs in a fall.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said the 85-year-old justice is "doing well" and working from home.

Italian tonight so I will have ravioli.
I like ravioli.
Ribs another time.
Evil never retires.
“She’s old. She’s frail. She’s gathering speed...”
*SMIRK* Going through that right now with my Dad and his failing mental capacities coupled with health problems.
I’d be more concerned, but he’s not creating life and death legislation from the SCOTUS bench...
I’m sure she’s back to her 50 push-ups.
Causes
Falls can be caused by physical conditions that impair mobility or balance, hazards in the environment, or potentially hazardous situations. Most falls occur when several causes interact. For example, people with Parkinson disease and impaired vision (physical conditions) may trip on an extension cord (an environmental hazard) while rushing to answer the telephone (a potentially hazardous situation).
A person’s physical condition is affected by changes due to aging itself, physical fitness, disorders present, and drugs used. The physical condition probably has a greater effect on the risk of falling than do environmental hazards and hazardous situations. Not only does a poor or impaired physical condition increase the risk of falls, but it also affects how people respond to hazards and hazardous situations.
Physical impairments that increase the risk of falling include those involving
Balance or walking
Vision
Sensation, particularly in the feet
Muscle strength
Cognition
Blood pressure or heartbeat
Use of drugs that affect attention (for example, opioid analgesics, antianxiety drugs, and some antidepressant drugs) or lower blood pressure (for example, antihypertensive, diuretic, and some heart drugs) can also increase the risk of falling.
Hazards in the environment are involved in many falls. Falls may occur when people do not notice a hazard or do not respond quickly enough after a hazard is noticed.
Environmental hazards that increase the risk of falling include
Inadequate lighting
Throw rugs
Slippery floors
Electrical or extension cords or objects that are in the way of walking
Uneven sidewalks and broken curbs
Unfamiliarity with surroundings
Most falls occur indoors. Some happen while people are standing still. But most occur while people are moving—getting in or out of bed or a chair, getting on or off a toilet seat, walking, or going up or down stairs. While moving, people may stumble or trip, or balance may be lost. Any movement can be hazardous. But if people are rushing or if their attention is divided, movement becomes even more hazardous. For example, rushing to the bathroom (especially at night when not fully awake or when lighting may be poor) or to answer the telephone or talking on a cordless phone can make walking more hazardous...

“Ginsburg, however, has shown few signs of slowing down, physically or mentally.”
This a bald-faced lie. She can barely stitch a sentence together. Physically she can not hold her head up and needs assistance walking. It is her staff that is doing all the work, she is nothing but a walking corpse figurehead.
No one is immortal.
Everyone passes at some point.
All these past ailments happened when she was 65, 75. Now she’s 85. Even Twinkies go bad eventually.
She’s worth millions——who wouldn’t go home with round the clock care?
I would if I had her money.
.
But of course! The Enemy Media will keep her alive long after she’s dead. ;)
Video or it didn’t happen!
I believe no name tweeted from the grave for months.
Agreed. At 85, her bones and musceles can’t rebound as they could when she was younger.

people just aren’t having timely deaths anymore...
We’ll know more the first time she is spotted in public—if she ever is.
Just went through it with my two parents.
I know what you mean, and this was on my mind when I made my comments.
She really does seem like a tough little witch.
Unless you have a pneumothorax from rib fractures, why did they admit her? And spend a few days in the hospital? Most people dont get admitted for rib fractures. Either she is getting VIP treatment or there is something more to this story.
Well, she did convince a lot of godless commies that prayers may actually work.
Maybe someone is trying to tell RBG it’s time to resign?
Or, maybe her contact has expired?
