👀 You okay, Clarence? 👀
A mysterious illness put a Supreme Court Justice in the hospital. What's going on with this longtime conservative Judge?
Last Sunday evening - the Supreme Court of the United States let everyone know that Justice Clarence Thomas checked into a hospital two days earlier. The reason why isn’t entirely clear. “Flu-like symptoms", followed by tests and a vague diagnosis of an “infection.”
If Thomas did get released “in a day or two” as the press release states, that would have been Tuesday.
So far, America’s highest court is refusing to give an update on his status.
As late as Wednesday, the court declined to share whether Thomas remained in the hospital or was released.
“The court heard arguments Wednesday morning and Chief Justice John Roberts said, as he has for the past two days, that while Justice Thomas was not present he would participate in the case by reviewing the arguments’ transcript and briefs. Chief Justice Roberts said Wednesday that Justice Thomas was “unable to be present today” without explanation. Justice Thomas did not have COVID-19 and his infection was being treated with intravenous antibiotics, the court has said.” Richmond Free Press

If something unexpected happens with Justice Thomas’s health - the balance between the Left and Right on the Supreme Court would significantly alter, giving the Progressives more influence, as Biden would suddenly have a second opportunity to appoint a new Supreme Court Judge as the nomination process is wrapping up with Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Conservatives are praying for Thomas to make a complete recovery.
Meanwhile, some blue checkmark progressives on Twitter are showing off their typical nastiness.
Someone without a blue checkmark (that is allegedly a comedian) named Jordan Holmes is being particularly hateful and unfunny:
There are also plenty of horrible, no-class videos to be found on Tik Tok:
