After being hospitalized Friday night with chills and a fever, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released Sunday and is at home “doing well,” according to a short statement from the Supreme Court.
The court provided no additional details. It announced in a press release Saturday evening that the 86-year-old justice had been seen Friday night at Sibley Hospital in Washington, D.C., and then transferred to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for treatment of a possible infection.
“With intravenous antibiotics and fluids, her symptoms have abated,” the court said in the Saturday release.
The health of Ginsburg, the leader of the court’s liberal wing, is a matter of constant attention and speculation.
