Ginsburg taken to hospital

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was taken to a Washington D.C. hospital yesterday after feeling lightheaded and fatigued.  Earlier in the day shereceived an iron transfusion to treat anemia.  Ginsburg was monitored at the court and found to be stable, but was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Ginsburg was treated for colon cancer in 1999, and in February of this year was treated for pancreatic cancer.  She didn't miss any public sessions in the course of either treatment.  In July, after a thorough medical evaluation, Ginsburg was found to be in good health except for an iron deficiency.
