Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Treated for Dehydration After Illness at Event
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito experienced a health scare on March 20 when he fell ill due to dehydration while attending a Federalist Society event in Philadelphia. The Supreme Court's public information office reported that Alito, 76, was advised by his security detail to seek medical attention before embarking on a three-hour drive home. After receiving fluids for dehydration, he returned home the same night. Despite the incident, Alito has continued to participate in court activities, including oral arguments related to President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. Appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006, Alito is one of the court's most conservative justices and the third-longest-serving member currently on the bench.
