He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not COVID related. The Justice does not have COVID,\u201d a court spokesperson <a class=\"external-link\" title=\"(opens new window)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/03\/20\/politics\/clarence-thomas-hospitalized\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-describedby=\"external-disclaimer\">told<\/a> CNN.<\/p>\n<p>SCOTUS Blog, which closely tracks the Supreme Court, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/2022\/03\/court-remains-silent-on-thomas-condition-after-he-entered-the-hospital-last-week\/\">said<\/a> it is not unusual for little information to be released about the health of justices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dearth of information about Thomas\u2019 condition is not unusual. The Supreme Court often provides relatively few details about the justices\u2019 health, to the extent that it discloses information at all. In July 2020, for example, Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized overnight after a fall at a Washington-area country club near his home; the court confirmed the incident only in response to an inquiry weeks later from The Washington Post, which learned about the fall from someone who saw it,\u201d the blog said. \u201cThe late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was generally more forthcoming than most of her colleagues about her health problems, but in 2020 she waited several months to disclose that she had been diagnosed with cancer again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas was appointed by President George H.W. Bush to the Supreme Court in 1991 and succeeded the liberal Justice Thurgood Marshall. His absence at the court comes as the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, nominated by President Joe Biden to replace Justice Stephen Breyer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-justice-clarence-thomas-hospitalized-with-infection-friday-night\">Justice Clarence Thomas Hospitalized With Infection Friday\u00a0Night<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/i-sure-hope-a-certain-thing-happens-left-targets-clarence-thomas-after-reported-illness\">\u2018I Sure Hope A Certain Thing Happens\u2019: Left Targets Clarence Thomas After Reported\u00a0Illness<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent, and ran the Drudge Report from 2010 to 2015.
