Justice Thomas Asks No Questions During Entire Court Term
Justice Clarence Thomas sat through 68 hours of oral arguments in the Supreme Court's current term without uttering a word. That's saying something -- or not -- even for the taciturn justice. According to a recent tally, Thomas has spoken 281 words since transcripts began identifying justices by name in October 2004.
