Justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington D.C., on Friday evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms.
He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics.
His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expected to be released from the hospital in a day or two.
Justice Thomas will participate in the consideration and discussion of any cases for which he is not present on the basis of the briefs, transcripts, and audio of the oral arguments.
Here’s more from ABC News:
Justice Clarence Thomas has been hospitalized with an infection, the Supreme Court announced in a statement.
Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms, Supreme Court spokesperson Patricia McCabe said in a statement.
He was diagnosed with an infection after undergoing tests and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics, McCabe said. She did not provide more details on the nature of the infection.
“His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two,” McCabe said. “Justice Thomas will participate in the consideration and discussion of any cases for which he is not present on the basis of the briefs, transcripts and audio of the oral arguments.”
After Justice Stephen Breyer, Thomas is the second-oldest justice on the Supreme Court at 73 years old. He is the most senior conservative.
Meanwhile, just 11 hours earlier, vitriolic attacks from the Left continue on Thomas.
Some even still seeking “impeach” him.
Absolutely absurd.

Vernon Jones stepped in and rightfully defended Thomas:
High-tech lynching continues from radical liberal democrats. Talks now to impeach Justice Clarence Thomas for being conservative. Didn’t congress just pass the Emmett Till Anti-lynching Act? #HighTechLynching2.0 #scotus @SCOTUSblog @scotusreporter @USSupremeCourt @mehdirhasan https://t.co/87VKCQ3g0Z
