Supreme Court silent on Justice Clarence Thomas' hospitalization status

The Supreme Court has refused to comment on whether Justice Thomas remains in hospital after having been admitted on Friday with an unidentified infection.

On Friday, Justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC after experiencing "flu-like symptoms."

After running a number of tests, the justice was diagnosed with an infection, and was then being treated with intravenous antibiotics.

A Sunday press release from the Supreme Court stated that Thomas' "symptoms are abating," and that "he is resting comfortably."

Despite expectations that Thomas was to be released by Tuesday evening, as of Wednesday the Supreme Court has refused to comment on the justice's hospitalization status.
