Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, 75, sparked raised eyebrows over his whereabouts when he was absent during oral arguments on Monday, and the Court provided no explanation why.
Addressing Thomas' lack of presence, Chief Justice John Roberts said simply that Thomas "is not on the bench today" but would "participate fully" in the two cases being argued based on the briefs and transcripts, according to NBC News' Lawrence Hurley.
"Context that may or may not be helpful: In the recent past, Justice Thomas phoned into oral arguments when he couldn't attend in person, allowing him to ask questions remotely. He isn't doing so this time," wrote Slate reporter Mark Joseph Stern on X, formerly Twitter.
Newsweek reached out to the Supreme Court via email for comment.
When Thomas was hospitalized two years ago with an infection, he missed multiple court sessions but still took part in cases.

Maybe he didn’t have any questions.
Maybe he has the flu.
______________________
The ‘flu’ is no joke these days, especially for older citizens, as I can attest. The so called flu has likely been mRNA engineered to increase its lethality, just like Covid-19. The once conventional prophylactic shots we used to get growing up have also undergone mRNA manipulation to screw up your immune system and hasten your demise. It’s your government in collusion with Big Pharma and the medical profession turned into your worst enemy. Now they can use the stealth injection method to assassinate their enemies. Let’s all say a prayer for Justice Thomas’ well being.
Unusual, but unimportant to the cases. Thomas is on record that be believes oral arguments are nothing but theater. Prior to the scamdemic he rarely asked any questions.
I was being hopefully sarcastic...NO it has and was not reported. I have immense respect for Clarence Thomas, I hope he is OK.
He was back in court today....no mention of absence or illness.
