Via Caleb we have the (very sad) stat of the day:
Justice Clarence Thomas sat through 68 hours of oral arguments in the Supreme Court’s current term without uttering a word. […] The last time Thomas asked a question in court was Feb. 22, 2006, in a death penalty case out of South Carolina. […] 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.
