Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is expected to be released from Silbey Memorial Hospital in Washington DC soon after being treated for “flu like symptoms” over the weekend.
Justice Thomas was hospitalized with an infection on Friday and according to Supreme Court spokesperson Patricia McCabe, “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,” McCabe announced in a statement.
He was diagnosed with an infection after undergoing tests and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics.
The high court reconvened Monday to hear more cases. While Thomas is not expected to participate in oral arguments in person, he will be voting on the matters after reviewing all the documents and transcripts of the arguments.
Perhaps the most prominent case is the already heard Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which Justice Thomas is expected to vote to overturn both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey cases.
“Roe versus Wade and Planned Parenthood versus Casey haunt our country,” Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart told the Supreme Court as it opened hearings on the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
“They have no basis in the Constitution,” he argued. “They have no home in our history or traditions. They’ve damaged the democratic process. They’ve poisoned the law. They’ve choked off compromise. For fifty years they’ve kept this Court at the center of a political battle that it can never resolve. And fifty years on, they stand alone: nowhere else does this Court recognize a right to end a human life.”
Under the existing laws, states are prohibited from banning abortions before viability. The result for decades has been the loss of nearly 63 million babies. Thousands of mothers have died in supposedly “safe,” legal abortions. Now the Supreme Court has agreed to re-consider this precedent and decide “whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortion are unconstitutional.”

I hope he has security outside his hospital room, a food tester, and 24 hour observation of the nurses on duty around him.

I’m glad he’s being released and doing better. But I hope he has 24 hour security! He’s THE best justice in the SCOTUS and that’s why the Deep State hates him. They’ve already tried to pin a sexual harassment rap on him about 30 years ago and Lord knows what else they’ll try.

I’m not sure that Scalia wasn’t murdered, and I don’t put it past the Democrats to murder Thomas. They are desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.

I’ve written an article about Scalia’s death. If you get a chance read it.

Antibiotics are not generally used for viral infections, unless there is a Suprainfection, i.e. one infection that occurs “on top of” another. The lack of treatment for covid among the masses has always astonished me, in light of Fauci authoring a paper on many deaths from the Spanish flu being from bacterial infected tissues that occurred as a result of the primary viral infection.
I’d think that Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are more routinely used in the ruling class, even prophylactically, than the general public, for suspected covid infections. Antibiotics as well (as addressed above). For the largest part, from what I read, people that visited the E.R. and were told they were positive for covid were sent home with no treatment, and I’m unsure why they weren’t at least given Antibiotics to stave off other infections.
Reading an article this morning, one site claims Europe is abandoning the Vaccine Mandates, not because covid is gone, but because the vaccine has a negative efficacy, so if a person is vaccinated, they are more likely to become infected with the omicron variant, and even with the variants the vaccine were designed for, did not provide lasting protection.
I hope Thomas recovers well and soon, he is compensation to a limited degree for the abject failures that Trump nominated, and I didn’t think so when he first nominated them, but time seems to have shown that they are not the Strong Conservatives that we need.
The usual disclaimer applies, as this comment addresses medical issues, I am not a Doctor, the Screen Name is a character in a 2001 Movie and I’ve used it for years.
