Clarence Thomas, Man of No Words

Justice Clarence Thomas is known for not asking many questions during oral arguments. "But the last time Thomas asked a question in court was Feb. 22, 2006"

"A recent tally by McClatchy Newspapers underscored this point: Thomas has spoken 281 words since court transcripts began identifying justices by name in October 2004. By contrast, Thomas' neighbor on the bench, Justice Stephen Breyer, has uttered nearly 35,000 words since January."
