Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital last month in previously undisclosed incident: CNN

He was evaluated and given fluids for dehydration, and he returned home the same night, according to people with knowledge of the incident.

  • On March 20, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was hospitalized in Philadelphia after falling ill at a Federalist Society dinner held in his honor at the University of Pennsylvania law school.
  • The justice was evaluated and administered fluids for dehydration, then returned to his Virginia home that night with his security detail after being taken by ambulance to an area hospital.
  • 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. Close friends told CNN he has contemplated retirement, but no decision seems imminent.
  • Information regarding the health of Supreme Court justices is often difficult to obtain; the court previously withheld details about Chief Justice John Roberts' hospitalization following a head injury in June 2020.
  • As a highly influential justice appointed by George W. Bush in January 2006, Alito remains pivotal to the court's direction, particularly through his 2022 decision reversing Roe v. Wade and ongoing abortion rights rulings.
