US Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont was hospitalized Thursday after he felt unwell at his McLean, Virginia, home, his office said.

As a precaution, the 82-year-old Democrat was taken to a Washington-area hospital for tests. At the recommendation of his doctors, he was expected to remain in the hospital overnight for observation.

Leahy, the longest-serving sitting senator, is not seeking re-election in November.

By the time his term expires in January 2023, Leahy will have served for 48 years in the Senate.

In June, he fell and broke his hip. At the time, his staff said he was expected to make a full recovery. In July, he underwent a second surgery on his hip.

Leahy has been making a number of public appearances

They're ALL very old commie/democrats because their brand of socio/commie/democrat doesn't attract any younger pukes; They HAF'ta' stay in office 'til they die in order to maintain power and position.


2022 just may be the year of swamp cleansing by death and mishap.

I know, and I enjoyed it.
I’ve seen Ironman quite a few times.
I liked having movies on in the background while studying for class.

Real Genius and Ironman were the most common.
Ironman was a EE, and Real Genius had 2 studying montages...two! :)

Replace him with a patriot soon, please.

Vermont, the home of Bernie Sanders. VT wasn't even one of the original thirteen colonies. Why would Vermont align with patriots after all these years?

No big deal. He’s older than dirt anyway. He needs to step down and move into an assisted living place.

Who goes to the Hospital for feeling Unwell? I am not looking forward to getting any older. I just turned 50, If Im at the hospital for that - at that age? Shoot me. Life between hospital trips is no life at all.

Federal judges are worse. The great Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. retired before he turned 91. There are "Senior Judges" who are older than that still hearing cases, usually very badly. These old judges know exactly what misconduct they can get away with and nothing will ever happen to them.

Maybe the 8-term Leahy is starting to miss his soul in his trade deal with Satan
