Clarence Thomas hospitalized
- Thread starter 7.62willdo
- Start date
The reports I've read say it's an "infection." He's being treated with Antibiotics and the symptoms are abating. He has stated he will participate in the next set of cases even if he misses some days of arguments.
Nothing will stop this man.
Nothing will stop this man.
I'd be willing to bet he does, which is problematic...look at what happened to Justice Scalia.

Prayers for a full recovery! We can't have his chair filled by one of Biden's choices.
No. Could be evil. Could just be fate. He's a good man, we can hope it's just heartburn.
After Justice Scalia's questionable death, I think it's safe to say we are all on edge anytime we hear of a Conservative Justice just happening to have a health issue out of nowhere.
Until they suffocate him like Scalia.
And all the democrats on Capitol Hill and in the White House, are all in the back room, high fivin each other, hoping for the worst.
Which is exactly what most of us here did when it was Ginsburg.
This game doesn't work if you want to apply that logic.
suspicious considering all the negative news about his wife's political postings. They are hoping on Biden administration to get a surprise second nomination before mid-terms
According to this morning's Newsmax reports, he is responding well to antibiotic treatments and may be released as early as today or tomorrow.
I hope he gets better as we need his voice but he may be Clintoncided soon....a little polonium goes a long way
Well - he's nearly 74. There was a day I'd call the doc and get that z-pak and be told to take it easy for a while. I'm getting close to his age, but not quite there, and I don't recover from a walk to the mailbox at the end of the driveway as quickly as I once did. I don't gamble with the small aches and pains because they could be harbingers of big aches and pains. Kudos to him for getting it taken care of quickly and getting back to work.
this shit has been out of hand a long time. you start getting up there in age, why take chances? God bless him, but he shoulda went while trump was in. ginsberg got greedy, and look how that happened. i tell ya, if'n i was in my 60's, and i had done my bit, i'd pull out and let someone else carry that torch while i enjoyed my life.
Thomas is one of those guys that is going to be very hard to replace.

Let's not write him off just yet. Heck, I hope I'm as healthy as he is when I'm 74. Do we know if he has any "baseline" medical issues going on? RBG, of course, had fought 2 bouts with cancer. I think, perhaps she should have retired earlier, but if it had to happen this way, I'm happy Pres. Trump was in office when it did happen for RBG.
Anyway, let's wish Justice Thomas a speedy recovery and a quick return to the bench.
i havent written him off, my point is that a lot of these people hang on way too long.
perhaps you would have been happier with hillary's appointees....because that is the only other option you would have had. i agree to a point.....i havent been doing backflips over how his appointees have done. but they could be worse.....bush really fucked us a good one with roberts. makes you wonder how bad his other pick would have been...the one where he said "trust me".....yeah....right motherfucker.
I would have been happier if they would have judged the way they talked when they were being raked over the coals during the nomination process. And I am not totally convinced that Roberts wasn't put there to be exactly what he is.
I've always thought that somebody has some really juicy photos of Roberts..... just laying in wait for when he really "F"s up.
He might have struck around because he suspected that there would be another Kavenaugh or Barrett taking his place. Otherwise, I completely agree with your stance; put in 30 solid years of work and step aside at a time of one's own choosing.
I don't think his work is done, yet. He has to participate in all the 2A stuff that's coming down, and we need him there for that. Hopefully, we can start to work on that backlog after Biden is gone, perhaps even before then.
When he gets to his early - mid 80's (or develops some major illness), then we can think about retirement. Not before then.
I hope they took all of the pillows from his room.
There was this thing that happened one time that was pretty suspicious.

Please make no mistake - I want the guy to stick around as long as possible, because I think he is literally unreplaceable. He got shit right that even Scalia didn't.
Unfortunately, he's faced with two choices: 1) die during a Dem presidential term and get replaced with a leftist judge; or 2) retire during a Repub presidential term and face roughly a 67% chance of being replaced with a right-leaning bozo (odds extrapolated from Trump's track record at the moment, which may get better as time goes on).
Well, if thse are the only two choices, then I'd go with the latter (retire while a republican is in office). But I'd say at the end of that republicans 8 years in office, maybe. But I'd go for a 3rd choice. Stay in office at least another 10-12 years, regardless of who's in office. If Pres. Trump is re-elected, and then maybe DeSantis goes in for 2 terms, we'd have a good 12 years, and then he can retire in his early 80's.
I posted that "negative news" regarding his wife over a month ago - same time they were going after Cawthorne "eligibility for office". They said he would have to recuse himself due to "conflict of interest" (I know the irony - crackhead sons involved in foreign bioterrorism labs).They are now trying that on Marjorie Taylor Greene. They are trying to weaken any remaining republicans that might not "go with the swamp".
That being said, I do fear for Clarence Thomas life. I hope he has is own PSD, not SS, and own doctors. I pray to God he did not get the shot. When I heard "infection" that was my first thought, weakened immune system (although he is of age range to just get a community acquired pneumonia or UTI/prostatitis). We really must pray for this man. Our Supreme Court will be so worthless they won't need to pack it without him.
