Just a few short days after rejoining the bench after sickness, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Friday night after experiencing chills and a fever earlier in the day, the Supreme Court said in a statement Saturday.

Ginsburg, 86, was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC, before being transferred to Hopkins for further evaluation and treatment.
The Supreme Court justice expects to be released from the hospital as early as Sunday morning.
In recent years, Ginsburg has undergone multiple cancer treatments; one of them after she fell and broke her ribs. Doctors addressing the injury detected cancer in Ginsburg’s lungs, which was then treated.
Ginsburg was nominated by then-President Bill Clinton and has said she wants to serve until she’s at least 90.
Ginsburg’s health is closely watched by people on both sides of the political aisle due to the possibility that President Trump could get his third Supreme Court nomination if she should leave.
