> Another fun fact: Clarence Thomas has only asked 1 question during oral arguments in something like 10 years.

For context: Justice Thomas has explained that's because, based on his experience as a lawyer prior to being a judge, he always found it irritating when a judge would interrupt the lawyer, interfering with their ability to present their arguments in a linear fashion.

The oral arguments are also a lot less significant than people think. When justices ask questions, they're used more for signaling than anything else, because they're already briefed on the case beforehand.
