Ruth Bader Ginsburg hospitalized after three ribs fractures

Hospitalized by a fall to the oldest magistrate of the US Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 85, recognized as one of the magistrates of the liberal wing of the Court, broke 3 ribs. An eventual resignation from his position would give Donald Trump the opportunity to appoint a new, more conservative magistrate in court.

At 85, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the oldest judge in the Supreme Court of the United States. Since 1993, she has been in office, when she was appointed by President Bill Clinton. This woman heads the liberal wing of the US Supreme Court and does not plan to retire for a long time.

She rejected the suggestions of some liberals to resign during the first half of Barack Obama's second term when the Democrats controlled the Senate and probably could have confirmed someone who succeeded her. In addition, it has hired its employees until 2020, an indication that it has no plans to retire.

This Wednesday night, Ginsburg suffered a fall that during the early hours of Thursday had to be taken to the George Washington University Hospital. Due to the accident, 3 ribs were fractured and he was under observation and treatment.

Despite its absence, the Court continued on Thursday with the ceremony in which the new member of that body, Brett Kavanaugh, would be welcomed. The assistance of Donald Trump and Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker was anticipated and it is not the first time that the magistrate faces health problems. In 2012 he suffered the fracture of two ribs also by a fall. He has had cancer and in 2014 a stent (a tiny tube) was implanted to unblock an artery.

The health of the judge has the United States in suspense to the extent that should he die or resign, Trump would have the green light to make a new appointment in the collegiate body that currently has 5 conservative votes versus 4 liberals.
