The U.S. Supreme Court released a statement today with news that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is being treated for a possible infection and will spend several days in the hospital following a medical procedure, the Associated Press reports. The high court said Ginsburg went to a hospital in Washington on Monday evening after experiencing fever and chills. This afternoon, she underwent a procedure at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August when she was treated for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas. The statement said the justice “is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment.”
