Justice Clarence Thomas has been hospitalized with an infection, the Supreme
Court announced in a statement.

Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday
evening after experiencing flu-like symptoms, Supreme Court spokesperson
Patricia McCabe said in a statement.



He was diagnosed with an infection after undergoing tests and is being treated
with intravenous antibiotics, McCabe said. She did not provide more details on
the nature of the infection.

"His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be
released from the hospital in a day or two," McCabe said. "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."

After Justice Stephen Breyer, Thomas is the second-oldest justice on the Supreme
Court at 73 years old. He is the most senior conservative.

Thomas does not have a known history of health issues and has been a vibrant
participant in Court arguments over the past two years. He, along with the other
eight justices, has been vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19, according to the
Court.



The Court is reconvening Monday at 10 a.m. for two weeks of oral arguments.
According to McCabe's statement, it appears Thomas will not be participating in
the arguments remotely but will still vote in the cases.
