WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was hospitalised on Thursday after she fell in her office at the court the night before, fracturing three ribs, a court spokeswoman said on Thursday.

The 85-year-old justice initially went home after the fall, but experienced discomfort overnight. She went to George Washington University Hospital on Thursday morning.
