“Well, there--see, he did not provide good counsel.”— Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' only words during the oral arguments in nearly seven years. Justice Thomas was joking about a Harvard-educated counsel representing the murder suspect Jonathan Boyer; Justice Thomas' alma mater is Yale. The words were spoken last week, but the transcript was published yesterday.

It's hard to speak at these things when you're power napping. What a disgrace to the court.
@DonQuixotic His mind's set in concrete ("I will not evolve"). Why pay attention unless you can get a joke in every seven years? We wouldn't want any thinking going on.

Seven years of silence and he breaks it with the equivalent of a "fart joke?"
I am so disappoint...

@kbanginmotown I'm not even sure Thomas really said that. Maybe he lip-synched it or someone catfished it on the SCOTUS web site or Facebook page.
@deconstructiva @kbanginmotown Like Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen, Thomas can only talk when Scalia's arm is up his @$$.

@MrObvious Thomas isn't a good SC justice because he's conservative. He just isn't good.

people evolve
People like Thomas starts a little lower before they reach the evolved status. It was more a AI reference since most of his action seems like a robotic reaction to the needs of the rest of the rightwingers on the supreme court. I don't think anyone talk about Thomas as the great legal mind of the court.
