Supreme Court <\/a>Justice Samuel Alito was treated for dehydration at a hospital after a previously undisclosed March 20 incident in Philadelphia, sources told Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was not admitted and returned home the same night without complications.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Two sources who were at the dinner said the justice has had no issues since. One source said there was no drama and that Alito did not faint.<\/p>\n

Because he and his wife were set to drive back to their home in Northern Virginia, they stopped at a hospital as a precaution. Alito was treated for dehydration and returned home without incident, the source said.<\/p>\n

Alito was in Philadelphia<\/a> that day for a Federalist Society event honoring his jurisprudence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He did not attend the morning or afternoon panels, but he traveled to the city with his security detail for a pre-dinner reception and an evening dinner attended by several federal judges, including many who had previously clerked for him.<\/p>\n

After the dinner, Alito agreed to seek medical attention as a precaution at the recommendation of his security detail, sources said.<\/p>\n

Alito has since been seen on the bench and appeared normal, with no issues noted in the days following the incident.<\/p>\n

He turned 76 on Wednesday, the day of the Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship, attended by President Donald Trump<\/a>. Observers said he looked his usual self.<\/p>\n

Alito was nominated to the Supreme Court in 2005 by President George W. Bush and confirmed in 2006.<\/p>\n

He is the second-oldest member of the court, behind Justice Clarence Thomas, who is 77.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
