Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was rushed to a hospital last month after a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, CNN reported.
Alito, who just turned 76, was treated for dehydration after he fell ill (food poisoning?).
Details about the medical emergency were not disclosed.
In the two weeks since the medical incident, Samuel Alito has been on the bench and has attended oral arguments.
“Out of an abundance of caution, he agreed with his security detail’s recommendation to see a physician before the three-hour drive home,” the Supreme Court said in a statement, The Hill reported.
“After that examination and the administration of fluids for dehydration, he returned home that night, as previously planned,” the high court said.
CNN reported:
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident.
The justice was evaluated and administered fluids for dehydration. He returned to his home in Virginia that night with his security team.
Alito and Supreme Court public information officials declined to comment for the record about the episode, which has not been previously reported.
In the two weeks since the incident, Alito has attended oral arguments and appeared healthy during the usual give-and-take with lawyers at the lectern.
Alito, who turned 76 on Wednesday and has served as a justice for 20 years, has become the subject of widespread speculation from commentators across the ideological spectrum and the news media over whether he might retire. (He has refused to answer journalists’ questions on the subject.)
Fox News also confirmed the Alito report.
Fox News reported:

He was not admitted and returned home the same night without complications.
Alito, 76, attended a Federalist Society dinner that evening and reported feeling lightheaded, prompting his security detail to recommend a precautionary hospital visit. Sources said the justice has had no issues since.
