Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor broke her right shoulder in a fall in her home Monday morning, according to a statement obtained by ABC News. A doctor confirmed the injury. Sotomayor will “wear a sling for several weeks and will undergo physical therapy.” She plans to continue “with her schedule as usual” despite the injury. The news comes as the Supreme Court has “a possibility for opinions” to be issued Tuesday and Wednesday, and oral arguments for two cases on online sales tax and bankruptcy code will be heard today.
