The conservative justice was not present for oral arguments on Monday, but the court did not provide a reason why.
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was not present at the court for oral arguments on Monday, with the court giving no reason for his absence.
Chief Justice John Roberts said in court that Thomas “is not on the bench today” but would “participate fully” in the two cases being argued based on the briefs and transcripts.
A court spokeswoman had no further information.
Thomas, 75, is the eldest of the nine justices. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority.
We’re not lucky enough to have this ghoul drop dead in the next 9 months.
Imagine if he already was and they were weekend at Bernie’s-ing him so they could inflate the conservative numbers?
I mean 5-3 is still a majority so this makes zero sense but like, we live in the bizzaro world where I honestly wouldn’t put it past them
I sure hope he was picking up that sweet fuckwagon from John Oliver.
I think this is the better outcome rather than him being dead. For no other reason than that it’d be absolutely hilarious.
He would have had to cut his all expense paid yacht trip short.
I can’t believe you’d even mention it.
maybe?
Hope for the best
For Thomas or the rest of us?
The supreme court system is flawed and gives 9 individuals way too much power over the future of our country. I didn’t vote for any of them, neither did anyone else, and before anyone tells me “tHeY’Re ApPoinTed by PrEsidenT” just fuck off and know that you’re a part of the problem.
Sad when the best hope we have for our country is for the villains bogging it down to just have a random heart attack or something.
Not breaking out the champagne or fireworks quite yet, but they’re definitely on standby.
You guys are all speculating that he’s dead. I’m thinking Harlan Crow was getting frisky and had Clarence get out the knee pads.
Is he dead yet?
He’s striking for higher pay.
He missed his chance for a better offer already.
Let’s pray
Dear Lord. Please let it be cancer. Amen.

God, I hope he’s retiring.
