Listen to Ruth Bader Ginsburg conduct Supreme Court questioning from her hospital room
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has rebounded once again.
The 87-year-old Supreme Court justice was hospitalized Tuesday night with an inflamed gallbladder, just hours after she had participated in the court's livestreamed oral arguments. But by the next morning, she was on the phone again, questioning attorneys in a case regarding birth control coverage and the Affordable Care Act.
The Supreme Court livestreamed its oral arguments for the first time starting Monday as the COVID-19 pandemic keeps even the most longstanding American institutions shut down. On Wednesday, it tackled a case regarding whether employers could use religious or moral justification to refuse to provide contraceptives to employees in their health care plans. Listen to Ginsburg below.
