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.
