4. I don't even feel the SLIGHTEST bit of shame about hoping

That the man no longer continues with the court for this or any other reason. Death, disability, remorse, senility . . . . whatever. I don't care.

Ideally, in reverse order.

11. You know he has covid but they won't admit in right wing world

[dflprincess]

12. You don't get antibiotics for the flu or any other virus

I suppose he may have developed a bacterial pneumonia or maybe it's a raging case of syphilis.

Very sorry to see they article says his symptoms are abating & he should be released in a day of two.

[localroger]

14. Sometimes there are bacterial secondary infections to a viral primary, particularly with pneumonia

And sometimes people with influence just insist on the antibiotics even though there is no chance of efficacy, or people being deferent prescribe the antibiotics so it looks like they're doing something even though nothing constructive can really be done.

[BlueTsunami2018]

15. Unfortunately, he's on the mend.

I don’t say things like that lightly but he is a very serious danger to this country. We’d be better off without him.

[Amishman]

16. Probably from constipation

As we've known he's been full of shit for a very long time

[Me.]

17. Is This HIs Way Out

to get himself off the court with some 'dignity' rather than the disgrace that is piling up around him and her?

[keithbvadu2]

18. Give him lots of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

Give him lots of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

With a Clorox chaser.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. Well, gosh.

Such a shame. Hope he recovers.
If not, another Supreme Court nominee for Biden. Is there a downside here?

[DonCoquixote]

20. may heaven forgive me

but if it is coviud, I will nto weep for him, and I will demand that biden stuff someone in his place as quick as the GOP stuffed amy comey in!

Ugly yes...but he has gotten people killed.

[Faux pas]

21. ...

[AllyCat]

22. Just give him some disinfectant and UV light.

And a nice retirement due to health reasons.

[RockCreek]

23. Lots of COVID transmission in some hospitals

Lots of COVID transmission in some hospitals now. So if he doesn't have COVID he is theoretically in a high risk environment to catch it.
Unfortunately, I am sure his room has excellent air filters and all who come near him are more than properly geared up.
