Clarence Thomas Hospitalized, Recuses Himself from Capitol Attack Case

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Absent from Oral Arguments

Infection Led to Hospitalization

Clarence Thomas, an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, has been hospitalized due to an infection. The 73-year-old was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital on Sunday, March 20, 2022, according to a statement from the court.

Thomas's hospitalization comes as the court is hearing oral arguments in several high-profile cases. On Monday, he was absent from the bench for oral arguments in a case involving the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The court provided no explanation for his absence.

Thomas has also recused himself from the Capitol attack case. His wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, has been linked to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and Thomas has said that he does not want to create any appearance of bias in the case.

Thomas is a conservative justice who has served on the Supreme Court since 1991. He is known for his strong views on issues such as abortion, affirmative action, and gun rights.
