Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC, on Friday evening "after experiencing flu-like symptoms," the court's public information office said Sunday evening.

"He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics," the court's press release said. "His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects 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."

They took pains to note that all the of justices were vaxxed and boosted.

2. That just breaks my heart.

Not!!

[3auld6phart]

30. ditto

how sad indeed:.

[machoneman]

3. OK, I'll say it. Let's hope Covid-19 takes him to his maker, the Devil! Ginni can go with........

[Trueblue1968]

56. i agree with you, he's EVIL as in Anti-Christ EVIL. Thanks for posting what i've been thinking

[DURHAM D]

4. Syphilis ?

[mountain grammy]

17. .....

[mucifer]

5. Well you do realize you can't replace a supreme court judge with ONLY three years left in

your term.

[The King of Prussia]

6. Yeah but

Joe has 7 years left

[Lasher]

23. But the point is, Mitch McConnell could be back in control of the Senate in less than a year.

If that ends up being the case, he would block any Biden nominee.

[Polybius]

25. Especially if they are replacing a conservative

Thomas is a mini god to some of them. Scalia was full blown.

[mahina]

31. If we can't clobber a split GQP/GOP with both agreed on an assault on Womens' rights,

Half of them flying the Russian flag, I don’t know what.

[Lasher]

34. That's a good point.

But right now Republicans have at least a slight advantage in four polls:

[oldsoftie]

7. ALL of them have been vaxed? Thats actually a surprise.

Figured Thomas wouldn't have been

[Polybius]

27. He's old

Most of the old conservatives are vaxed.

[hamsterjill]

47. Oh, they'd all be butting in line to get vaxxed.

They aren’t stupid. They just don’t care if people they influence not to get vaxxed die because of that. Just like Faux News. Vaxxed and denying it with every other breath.

[walkingman]

8. I wonder if this will affect his brain??

[mountain grammy]

18. No way to tell

[GB_RN]

48. Have To Have A Brain First...

I've never seen any evidence that (In)Justice Clarence "Uncle Slappy" Thomas (R-No Questions Allowed) has one. I mean, he goes years without asking questions in oral arguments, and he always voted the way Scalia told him to vote. I think that he was Scalia's ventriloquist puppet and is now Alito's.

[bucolic_frolic]

9. My guess - kidney infection

[Samrob]

59. My guess. COVID pneumonia. It gets better until it doesn't. nt

[captain queeg]

10. Who knows if he's vaxxed. It would be good if he got it but better if something more serious

If he is not vaxxed (which I doubt) it could be serious. Hell it could be serious anyway. But it would be especially good to see a RWer fall to covid when he wasn’t vaxxed

[3825-87867]

11. "bout time we anita new justice...

or 3 or 4!

[Qutzupalotl]

12. It's just the flu!

Right?

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Hope he doesn't go broke because of his medical bills.

As if.

[3Hotdogs]

54. If I had to choose between going home to that drunkard, or a week in hospital,

...........

[MOMFUDSKI]

14. Heard talk of antibiotics being given

so could very well be S E P S I S. Like my doc told me - a LOT of people die from sepsis. I was shocked.

[jaysunb]

20. I've lost a couple good friends to sepsis.

It ain't no joke.

[ColinC]

22. He will probably be fine. I think antibiotics usually turn things around

Quickly. Assuming it was caught early enough

[TeamProg]

39. You're being so cruel to get

my hopes up like that..

[pacheen]

40. My guess is urosepsis

Common in the elderly. Can cause mental status changes.

[Sgent]

57. Not particularly common

in active men though unless they are wearing / using a cath on a regular basis. They did say flu like symptoms so I would assume some sort of respiratory tract infection / pneumonia.

[JohnnyRingo]

46. I lost 3 months of 2020 to it.

Sudden kidney failure and sepsis led me from one ICU to another with little to remember in the 1st half of the year. Then the months of rehab where they had rebuild my strength and teach me to walk again. I'd say it's the last thing you want to hear, but you'll be the last to know.

Now it's just dialysis 3 times a week for the rest of my life.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. I wish him well. But if I find out he has Covid and they're hiding it, I will be

royally pissed.

[70sEraVet]

16. It would be a good excuse for him to retire, before Jan 6 committee exposes all.

[PlanetBev]

19. As far as I'm concerned

He’s already lived too long. Him and that fascist buzzard he’s married to.

[Traildogbob]

21. I will just keep my thoughts to myself

You get my point though. Womp womp.

[mahina]

52. ...

[cstanleytech]

24. I wish him the same heartfelt get well that I am sure Mitch McConnell did to RBG.

[TeamProg]

38. +1 !!!

[FarPoint]

26. He has an infection...

IV antibiotics...so, maybe he is also diabetic...that should/could challenge his recovery....

[FM123]

28. Sending thoughts and prayers....

that he has to take an early retirement.

[moosewhisperer]

29. Bye, bitch.

[PortTack]

32. Throw a bucket of water on the wicked witch!!!

[niyad]

74. quit insulting witches.

[PortTack]

76. Oh...sorry! Good witches and bad ones ya know!

[jmowreader]

33. Something stands out here

He has "flu-like symptoms" but they're treating him with antibiotics. What bacterial diseases have flu-like symptoms?

[mahina]

35. That's a really good point.

It went right past me. What are flu like symptoms? Nausea, maybe vomiting, diarrhea, fever, exhaustion.

By the time you get to IV anabiotics, there’s also a risk that the dosage gives you vertigo on top of everything else and it often doesn’t pass.

What else would give someone those kind of symptoms other than covid?

[Deminpenn]

73. Fever, chills, muscle ache

That could come from sepsis (infection in the blood stream), too.

[Karma13612]

41. That's a very very good point.... Eom

[alfredo]

49. The Clap. Bacterial infections can cause flu like symptoms

[wnylib]

58. I noticed that, too. Flu like symptoms

suggest a virus but antibiotics don't work on viruses.

So it must be bacterial - with flu like symptoms? Or maybe a secondary bacterial infection following a viral one.

Couldn't covid do that? Secondary bacterial pneumonia?

[orleans]

36. article updated at 9:05 et

"It is not COVID related. The Justice does not have COVID," a spokesperson for the Supreme Court said.

[mahina]

53. Stay

Positive

[yardwork]

63. Lol!

[monkeyman1]

66. anybody that believes that ,please raise your hand ???

[TeamProg]

37. Get WORSE soon! n/t

[Maeve]

42. May God take him into His tender care

Understand that as you will

[hollygolively]

43. Sure would not mind reading his Obituary.

I don't wish for a person's death.

I do look forward to reading the obituaries, though.

[camartinwv]

44. Flu is a virus. Viruses are not treated with antibiotics, much less intravenous.

We are supposed to believe this shit?

[L. Coyote]

45. So, "with flu-like symptoms" treated with "intravenous antibiotics." Flu is a virus, FCS!!

Antibiotics are not used for viruses, right? Tell me again that he doesn't have COVID or something else!

[alfredo]

50. Chemo can cause flu like symptoms. I didn't, but cisplatin made me very sick

[mahina]

51. I'll just say a little prayer

[LetMyPeopleVote]

55. Justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to hospital on Friday with "flu-like symptoms"

Link to tweet

[Marthe48]

60. Seriously, how can they tell that blot

is anything? Except asleep?

[Vinca]

61. Time to get out the voodoo doll.

[onetexan]

62. You beat me to it. RIP for Clarence T. Long past time.

[ismnotwasm]

68. Yup.

[lark]

64. Too bad.

For once I was hoping someone would be unvaccinated and refuse any treatment other than Ivermectin, Remdesevir & Hydroxychloroquine.

Damn.

[llashram]

65. yawn...

.

[myohmy2]

67. is...

...he dead yet?

...

[Mz Pip]

70. I keep checking back

I don’t want him dead. I’d just like him to take a medically necessary retirement.

[LiberalLovinLug]

69. Speaking of justice, if there is any in the world.........

....I won't say it.

Can you hear what I'm thinking?

[Shellback Squid]

71. a pubic hair on a coke can is a avenue for infection

[artemisia1]

72. Let's get him some ivermectin. That's all the treatment he needs... (sarcasm) /nt

[lagomorph777]

75. Good news. I hope it's a superbug.

He super bugs me.
