‘America needs this man’: Conservatives pray after Justice Thomas hospitalized

“He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics,” the court said. “His symptoms are abating, he is resting comfortably, and he expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two.”

Conservatives, including Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, took to social media to wish the justice well and ask that people join them in praying for Thomas.

Nick Adams, political commentator and author, pointed to the impact that Thomas’s absence from the bench could have.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton tweeted, “Please be in prayer for Justice Clarence Thomas.”

Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck also offered his prayers, saying Thomas is a “legend.”

Conservative political activist Jack Posobiec also offered his prayers, describing Thomas as the “greatest of all time.”

The Supreme Court said Thomas will still participate in cases for which he is not present by reviewing briefs, transcripts, and audio of oral arguments.
