Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt......Abe Lincoln..........

Unlike Ginsburg at least Thomas stays awake during oral argument.

"Jamal Greene is an associate professor at Columbia Law School and a former clerk for Justice John Paul Stevens."
All you need to know about this "professor"...

He’s the best justice on the bench, by far. Scalia is a good talker, but when his own pet views are involved, he folds (see Raich or Playboy for examples. Hell, see any case where Scalia and Thomas were on opposite ends, and you’ll find yourself agreeing with Thomas.)

There’s nothing wrong with listening. Silent Cal was a damn fine president and a man of very few words.

New York Times? Get a rope.
It might be a worthwhile discussion if it was in a paper with a wider readership, like the Tri-State Defender or any law journal.

I’ve read some of his opinions, and they’re good enough for me. It seems to me, too, that everything that needs to be presented to an appellate-type court can, and should be, presented in writing, and in such a way that nothing should require verbal clarification.

Playboy case? I don’t remember that one - what happened and how did Scalia/Thomas rule?

Part of a coordinated attack on Justice Thomas (see the controversy about his wife’s income and the petition re Citizen’s United) to disqualify him from participating in the upcoming ObamaCare case.
...and it’s racist.
