Justice Clarence Thomas has returned to the US Supreme Court after a brief absence. The 73-year-old justice was absent from the bench for several weeks due to an unspecified illness. His return marks a significant moment for the court and its operations.
Justice Thomas, who has served on the Supreme Court since 1991, is known for his conservative views and originalist approach to interpreting the Constitution. His absence had raised concerns among court observers and legal experts, as the court had been operating with only eight justices during his time away.
