Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Undergoes Surgery for Coronary Blockage
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been hospitalized after doctors discovered a blockage in her left coronary artery.
Ginsburg "experienced discomfort during routine exercise" on Tuesday evening, according to a statement from the Court.
She underwent coronary catheterization procedure at MedStar Washington Center this morning.
Despite being diagnosed with colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer in 2009, Ginsburg, appointed to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, has never missed a day of oral arguments due to medical treatment.
The court is set to hear arguments on Monday.
