Weird. This is the first time I've seen the American Media report on ANY infection in the last two years without declaring "deadly COVID" repeatedly over and over. Hope he has Republican doctors and staff. <-(not meant to be a joke)

A good reminder of Ronald Reagan's comments to the surgeons when he was shot ... “Please tell me you’re Republicans.”

High court won't say whether Thomas remains hospitalized

The Supreme Court is declining to say whether 73-year-old Justice Clarence Thomas remains in the hospital

WASHINGTON -- 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 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.

Thomas did not have COVID-19 and his infection was being treated with intravenous antibiotics, the court has said.

Lord, please let Justice Thomas recover, and continue to serve us here, below.  I know he's got a well-earned place with you, but we need him here just a little bit longer.
