A bike accident Saturday in Washington caused Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to get reverse shoulder replacement surgery. The procedure, which a spokesperson for the court assured the media is standard, went smoothly. Now “resting comfortably” at the hospital, he will be released in a few days. Breyer was allegedly taking a ride around the Korean War Veterans Memorial when he fell. It wasn’t the first time the Supreme Court justice had taken a tumble off his bike—the San Francisco native broke his collarbone in 2011 doing the same thing.
