Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has returned home after an unexpected heart surgery late last week. Ginsburg, 81, was taken into the hospital Tuesday after experiencing discomfort while exercising with a personal trainer. She underwent surgery to implant a heart stent to clear a blocked artery. Ginsburg has a history of health problems, but has not previously missed any court date since her appointment. Justice Ginsburg is expected to return to court Monday, December 1.
