The high court is declining to say whether the 73-year-old justice remains in the hospital.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court declined to say Wednesday whether 73-year-old Justice Clarence Thomas remains in the hospital, though he had been expected to be released by Tuesday evening.

The court said Sunday that the 73-year-old Thomas had been admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington on Friday after experiencing “flu-like symptoms,” and he was diagnosed with an infection. His "symptoms are abating," and he was expected to be released Monday or Tuesday, the court said in a statement at the time. But on Wednesday morning, court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said she had no update to provide.

The court heard arguments Wednesday morning and Chief Justice John Roberts said, as he has for the past two days, that while Thomas was not present he would participate in the case by reviewing the arguments’ transcript and briefs. Roberts said Thomas was “unable to be present today" without explanation.

1. If there is a god may it please be a black woman. nt

[Achilleaze]

2. What are Republican jughead judges hiding now?

Who knows what evil is afoot?

Bwaaaa ha ha ha.

[lagomorph777]

3. That means he's still sick.

"Quick - does anybody have the number for Lenin's mortician? We need him to look fairly lifelike so he can return to the bench. Not TOO lifelike, mind you - he was never all that lifelike."

[Ray Bruns]

6. he's not dead, he's just resting.

[lagomorph777]

7. Pinin' for the Fjords.

[PCIntern]

8. Nailed to the perch...

[Ray Bruns]

10. That judge wouldn't vroom if you shot 10,000 volts through him.

[Wednesdays]

26. Weekend at Clarence's

[orwell]

27. Priceless...n/t

[Wednesdays]

30. Given what I've heard about him on the bench

His silence wouldn't raise any suspicions.

[drray23]

4. Given the shit show judge Jackson confirmation hearings are

imagine the chaos republicans would generate if Thomas had to retire or worse and his seat was up for nomination.

I want to believe they would do everything in their power to attempt to prevent President Biden from appointing a replacement.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Joe has more than 2 1/2 years left to his term.

They can try, but they will get no where.

Joe has a deep bench in which to draw from. I have to believe that he already has that base covered in the event of another retirement.

[Marius25]

17. 2.5 years left doesn't mean anything unless

we can keep the majority in the Senate.

If we lose the Senate, either the seat remains open until 2025, or Biden will try to compromise with Republicans on a more moderate pick.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. Dems look to keep the Senate.

I am confident that Dems will pick up a few more seats and keep the ones as well.

[Marius25]

20. I hope you're right.

I have no confidence in America anymore.

[tblue37]

23. Lindsey was so upset that Childs wasn't the nominee; maybe Biden should nominate Childs if Thomas

has to be replaced.

[drray23]

25. It would be interesting to see what Graham would do then .

Suddenly he would be against Child's nomination I bet.

[Carlitos Brigante]

32. My guess is he'd go after Biden for "reverse racism", or some such shit. You see, when

you have no dignity, self respect or awareness. It's easy to bend totally the opposite way, depending on the situation.

[Iggo]

5. Oh my gawd I read that wrong.

I thought it said, “The high court is deciding today whether the 73-year-old justice remains in the hospital.”

I was all, “That’s against my hipaa laws!!!”

[rurallib]

12. Praying for ya, Clarence buddy!

My own little experiment to see if prayer works. If it does your problems will soon be over.

[barbaraann]

13. Could it be that the R's grilling Judge KBJ know he's in dire shape and are terrified

of Pres. Biden getting another seat on SCOTUS?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. Another woman nominee would REALLY piss off the Republicans.

Perhaps Lindsey's choice will get the nod? She was a superb choice as well.

[steve2470]

14. it would not surprise me at all if he had COVID...

I don't know what his public stance on masks, mandates and vaccinations was. If he was anti-science, this might be rather embarrassing for him.

Get well soon, Justice Thomas. I don't agree with you at all, but you're still a human.

[blueinredohio]

21. If he has covid I hope his wife gets it too.

[MineralMan]

16. His Privacy Is Protected by the HIPPYAYA Law, See...

Yeah, that's the ticket.

[FakeNoose]

18. Folks, this is unseemly

Remember the solemn respect the Repukes showed for the terminal illness of Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

[spanone]

22. Ronny Jackson just reported he's been running a triathlon in Belize.

28. Getting up off the floor

Silence means he's still in hospital and that is a lengthy stay - Justice Thomas is very ill - Herman wants company

[spanone]

34. BWahahahahaaa....that is very true

[uponit7771]

36. lol

[Crunchy Frog]

24. The Repukes will fight like rabid dogs over that seat if it comes to it.

Wish we had a couple more Dems in the Senate.

[CrispyQ]

29. What goes around comes around.

Remembering the glee they took with RBG.
