U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was discharged from a hospital after treatment for pneumonia, according to reports.
Justice Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC, on March 18, with “flu-like symptoms.” Thomas, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, reportedly did not test positive for COVID.
The justice’s illness was not announced publicly until Sunday. At that time, a Supreme Court spokesman said he was expected to be released in “a day or two.” The Court did not explain why Thomas was discharged after a week-long stay.
At 73, Thomas is the longest-serving justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Decent Twitter users wished Thomas a speedy recovery.
