Sam Alito was briefly hospitalized earlier this year

As an addendum to Paul’s post from today:
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, which had not been previously reported.
The justice was evaluated and administered fluids for dehydration. He returned to his home in Virginia that night with his security team.
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.)
If I attended a Federalist Society dinner I would be seriously ill too HEY-YO!
Anyway, I think it’s important for Alito to understand that if he retires this summer the haters have won. Stay on the bench! Don’t deprive the country of a machine turning Newsmax monologues into increasingly tenuous resemblance to a legal opinion!
