The Supreme Court did not respond when asked for information about the health of 73-year-old Justice Clarence Thomas.

Thomas was hospitalized with an infection nearly a week earlier.

It was unclear whether Thomas was still recovering in Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he had been admitted on Friday after experiencing flulike symptoms.

Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. Friday night, where he was being treated for an infection, the court said in a statement released Sunday.

The statement also said Thomas’ “symptoms are abating” after antibiotics and he expected to “be released from the hospital in a day or two.”

But the court hasn’t provided an update since Sunday and didn’t respond to multiple messages seeking comment Thursday.

The most recent update came from Thomas’ colleague on the bench, Justice Stephen Breyer, who was questioned outside a restaurant in D.C. on Wednesday by TMZ.

“I think he’s fine,” Breyer said of Thomas.

1. He's Hiding

[jaysunb]

3. Bingo. !! Nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. This is getting kinda weird.

He is one of 9 SC justices....the health of each is pretty important. RBG had no problem keeping people informed on her health....why can't Clarence? Ginnie managing his PR?

About time for an official statement from the Chief Justice, I think.

[JI7]

4. We got regular updates anytime RBG had health issues

[Traildogbob]

9. Hell, it was breaking

Need if she blew her nose in public.
I wonder, if he dies, they plan on hiding his corpse and have QANON vote behind the scenes on his behalf, until they steal another presidency. GQP will find a way to not allow Biden another pick.
We need to stomp the GQP out like a Florida cock roach and take back democracy.

[IbogaProject]

5. Getting ready for St Peter

I'm not hoping one way or the other. Other than that I hope he asks for forgiveness before his seat opens up.

[brewens]

6. Nobody get too concerned if he improves, there is always the ol' dead cat bounce! :) n/t

[Jarqui]

7. He probably should have recused himself

from the Jan 6 case

[PortTack]

8. If he were improving they would have released a statement...the longer he is hospitalized the

Less likely that he recovers...from his “infection.”

[Farmer-Rick]

34. Yup,

If he's fine there would be all sorts of updates saying he's fine. I wonder if he had type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Both are very common for his age.

It sounds like he got a secondary infection from COVID because he probably didn't take care of himself because he's a COVID denier. But secondary infections from COVID are much more serious then secondary infection from a flu or something.

10. no news is good news, hoping for better news though!

and expedited confirmation process. RWNJ don’t live as long as RGB, their hatred affects their health. By definition, RWNJs are not happy people and that shortens life span.

[lagomorph777]

36. I like the way you think!

[ouija]

11. Repukes would hide his death until after the midterms

[onenote]

14. And how would they do that?

[ouija]

18. Ever watch "Weekend at Bernie's?"

[onenote]

20. Apparently you think that was a documentary.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

29. I thought it was an instruction manual.

Didn't Turtleman use it to pretend Scalia hadn't died and therefore Obama couldn't even nominate anyone to be his replacement?

[Farmer-Rick]

35. I think it was.

The movie is no stranger and funnier then what right wingers do.

I stumbled onto this rightwing site, looking for Thomas's health history, that said Obama appointed Clarance. You can't make this crap up ...oh wait you can.

[walkingman]

12. Fingers and Toes crossed....

[peppertree]

15. Hell - if it'll work, even pubic hairs!

[murielm99]

23. What are all these posts about pubic hairs?

What did I miss?

[mahina]

24. Google "pubic hair" "Clarence Thomas" "Anita Hill"

He should never have been confirmed, in the first place.

Ugh.
🤢

[mahina]

[murielm99]

27. Thank you.

But yuck!

[mahina]

28. Very much so.

It’s so dreadful to listen to her give that testimony again as bad as it was when I heard it the first time. We have come along way. I don’t think that would ever have happened now. I like to think she would’ve been believed.

[obamanut2012]

32. hahahahahaha

[gab13by13]

13. I hope they are treating him with

hydrocloroxidine and horse paste.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Don't you mean horse glue?

[captain queeg]

17. Trying not to get my hopes up. Too many disappointments over the last several years

[Martin68]

19. Covid?

[Karma13612]

21. Someone pointed

Out that they issued a ruling (or whatever they call their finished work) today. So wouldn’t that mean he is well enough to be making lucid decisions about peoples lives?

Unless his shadow justice “miss Ginny” was at it again.???



Linky…

[lagomorph777]

37. Roberts has done away with normal SCROTUS process.

He's issuing secret midnight shadow docket proclamations without normal procedural checks.

He might just be voting on Thomas' behalf.

[Karma13612]

40. Ouch, that would probably end SCOTUS as we

Know it, if that was true and it became public.

Then again, there are plenty of things the American public doesn’t know about that would anger us enough to take to the streets. Where we are met with tear gas and rubber bullets.

[FailureToCommunicate]

22. He's hiding as news of his wife's seditious text messaging breaks today.

[mahina]

26. If only he would

From your keyboard to the world. My cynical mind thinks they are so shameless now, he wouldn’t step down until we absolutely made him do it. I don’t know if we can but he should, clearly.

[Trueblue Texan]

30. He might be hiding, but...

...it could also be that the Ivermectin let him down. I've seen lots of cases of that.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Are they trying to figure out how to keep him from talking uncontrollably

after years of silence?

There's so much some of us at DU would like to know ... about money, about how a POC votes with Republicans forever, if he and Sam have a silence pact. Of all the people in public life, Clarence makes just about the least sense to me of anyone!

[The Jungle 1]

33. Just saying.

What Is a Nervous Breakdown? A nervous breakdown (also called a mental breakdown) is a term that describes a period of extreme mental or emotional stress. The stress is so great that the person is unable to perform normal day-to-day activities.
She has destroyed his entire life's work.

[myohmy2]

38. is...

...he dead yet?

...maybe he's dead and they're trying to find a way to keep him around until after the mid-terms...

...you never know...republicans

39. weekend at Clarences. LOL! nt
