13456172, Thomas Misses Arguments for Third Day
Posted by luminous, Wed Mar-23-22 10:37 AM

Justice Clarence Thomas missed arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court for the third straight day Wednesday after being hospitalized last Friday with an infection that was causing flu-like symptoms.

The court hasn’t provided any updates on Thomas’ condition since saying in a statement Sunday night that the 73-year-old justice’s symptoms were easing and he expected to be released from Washington’s Sibley Hospital “in a day or two.”

Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said Wednesday she had no further information to provide on Thomas. She has said the justice doesn’t have Covid.

Thomas is the second-oldest justice, behind only Stephen Breyer, 83, who is retiring at the end of the court’s current term. Appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, Thomas is the longest-serving justice and an anchor of the court’s conservative wing.

The justices are considering a technical case Wednesday involving the use of federal courts to compel the production of testimony or documents for use in an international arbitration proceeding. It’s the fourth and final case the Supreme Court is hearing this week.

Chief Justice John Roberts said Wednesday that Thomas will participate in the case on the basis of the briefs and transcript of the argument. The justices will have a private conference on Friday and will next take the bench on Monday.

it eventually resulted in *3* new supreme court justices for 1 republican administration.

13456298, Why would he need sympathy?
Posted by Stadiq, Thu Mar-24-22 10:05 PM

Nothing would/will happen to him.

Nothing to the court.

Nothing has happened to the major players
of Jan 6.

Nothing has happened to Trump. Shiit Dems are
even dropping old slam dunk cases against him, etc.

BART has credible tape allegations and magically
disappearing debt.

Crickets.

Why would Thomas sweat this at all?


If anything he’s probably salty he can’t be hearing
arguments straight stunting on all of us.

I check several times per day... I was thinking maaaaybe they're waiting for the KBJ confirmation to announce any "new" news. He's definitely NOT well though. That's all I got.
13456326, just announced that he was released this morning
Posted by benny, Fri Mar-25-22 09:30 AM
no more details
13456327, Hopefully released to hospice care so he can die at his home
Posted by calij81, Fri Mar-25-22 09:33 AM
In the next month. The only thing that would make him dying at home better is if they arrested his wife in front of his dying eyes.

Posted by Stadiq, Fri Mar-25-22 10:23 AM

than be arrested.

Its fun to think about, but I think we get ourselves/each other irrationally hyped about stuff.

Like the idea that Thomas catching COVID is/was somehow related to his awful wife's texts.

Nah.

They are evil and deserve to go down...but "our side" doesn't have the motivation/urgency/spine/whatever to hold powerful people accountable or even consider breaking norms.


The clock is running out on 1-6 accountability. Dems lose the house in a few months at this point.


Why we aren't all disgusted with "our side" not doing more is beyond me.

13456348, She is a white woman married to a SCOTUS, she isn’t going to jail
Posted by calij81, Fri Mar-25-22 11:03 AM
All her money, privilege and skin color will keep her from feeling any consequences, that’s why she felt she could send those texts.

I am upset that the 1/6 criminals will more than likely get away with. I am upset at democrats for not moving with more urgency on 1/6 but I’m not so upset that I’m going to irrationally vote for the GOP in November.
13456330, Can you link the source?
Posted by Doomdata21, Fri Mar-25-22 09:39 AM
I'm not seeing any reports that say that. Thanks.
13456333, Unfortunately I just got the news alert on my phone
Posted by calij81, Fri Mar-25-22 09:56 AM
I was hoping that it would say he has died but it just said he was released from the hospital.
13456340, Thomas released from hospital

https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/25/politics/thomas-released/index.html

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was discharged from a Washington, DC, hospital Friday morning a week after he was admitted for what a court spokesperson described as an infection.

Thomas, 73, entered Sibley Memorial Hospital last Friday after experiencing flu-like symptoms.

The court's public information officer did not say anything about Thomas' condition when he was released and declined to offer any more details on his stay in the hospital.

Chief Justice John Roberts said Wednesday that Thomas would read briefs and transcripts of oral arguments. All nine justices are fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19.

The court announced Thomas' hospitalization on Sunday and declined repeated requests for updates on his health since then.

In its Sunday statement, the court said, "He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics." At the time, the court said Thomas' symptoms were "abating, he is resting comfortably and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two."

13456650, Thomas Again Absent From Courtroom
Posted by luminous, Mon Mar-28-22 10:27 AM
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-28/justice-thomas-again-absent-from-supreme-court-arguments

Justice Clarence Thomas was again absent from the courtroom for a U.S. Supreme Court argument, participating remotely Monday even after he was released from the hospital on Friday after a weeklong stay.

Thomas 73, missed three days of arguments last week while being treated at a Washington hospital for an infection. Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said Monday she didn’t have any update on Thomas’ condition.

His illness has coincided with controversy over his participation in cases involving the 2020 presidential election even though his wife, Ginni Thomas, was pushing former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff to do more to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.

Thomas asked several questions during the first of two cases the court is hearing Monday, involving locomotive safety.
