Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg released from the hospital

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from the hospital on Wednesday and was resting at home, the court’s press office said.

Ginsburg, 87, was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, again Tuesday after experiencing fever and chills, her office said.

“She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins [Tuesday] afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August. The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment,” the statement continued, though she only stayed overnight.

Ginsburg was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009, a decade after she had been survived a battle with colon cancer.

Ginsburg had been hospitalized in the past, and her current stay came after the Supreme Court ended its spring term with key rulings on abortion and executive privilege.
