      Nah, I respected Thomas for never asking questions.

      He was the only one of the nine justices, who for so long, didn’t pretend that his mind wasn’t already made up, or that there was an answer a lawyer could give that would change his predetermined ruling.

      He knew what the assignment was, and fuck if he was going to waste any more time then necessary.

        I never thought much about why Thomas didn’t ask any questions for all that time, but that makes so much sense! Damn. Also helps explain his ridiculous corruption. He was never going to change his mind, plus his job isn’t bound by any ethical standards, oh and his job is for life. So he might as well milk it for all its worth, I guess because his feeling were hurt after nearly coming close to losing his nomination for being a sexual harasser? So pathetic.
