WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is already up and working in her hospital room, a day after breaking three ribs in a fall, her nephew said late on Thursday at the Hollywood premiere of a film about her life.

Ginsburg, a ground-breaking liberal jurist who at 85 is the oldest U.S. Supreme Court justice, was hospitalized on Thursday after falling at her office at the court, a court spokeswoman said.

“The last I heard she was up and working, of course, because what else would she be doing, and cracking jokes,” her nephew Daniel Stiepleman said at the premiere of the film “On the Basis of Sex”, about a gender-based discrimination case Ginsburg tried as a young lawyer in 1972.

“I can’t promise they were good jokes but they were jokes,” said Stiepleman, who wrote the script for the film with input from the justice herself.

1. Justice Ginsburg Leaves Hospital After Treatment for Broken Ribs.

'Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was discharged from the hospital on Friday after treatment for three broken ribs sustained in a fall at her office Wednesday evening.

“She is doing well and plans to work from home today,” said Kathleen Arberg, a spokeswoman for the court.

If history is any guide, Justice Ginsburg will be on the bench at the next sitting of the Supreme Court, which begins Nov. 26.

In 2012, she broke two ribs without missing work. Two years later, she returned to work quickly after undergoing a heart procedure.'>>>
