WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was absent from the court Monday with no explanation.

Thomas, 75, also was not participating remotely in arguments, as justices sometimes do when they are ill or otherwise can’t be there in person.

Chief Justice John Roberts

announced Thomas’ absence,

saying that his colleague would still participate in the day’s cases, based on the briefs and transcripts of the arguments.

The court sometimes, but not always, says when a justice is out sick.

.... He took part in the cases then, too.

The vast majority of Supreme Court work happens in chambers, not on the bench in public. They work a lot. Their clerks work even more.

I guess it just seems like they don’t work. But I’d guess you are correct.

Should one die under political circumstances the appointing party should be able to pick one that steps in temporarily until the next POTUS election. No confirmation process.
