This week's New Yorker includes a humor column riffing off of this remarkable fact:
Justice Clarence Thomas has not asked a question from the Supreme Court bench since Feb. 22, 2006. . . .
“I have on many occasions or a number of occasions when things were becoming particularly routine gone down to my basement to watch ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ [Thomas] said. “I can’t tell you why that particular movie, except we have it and it’s about something important in our lives—World War II.”
—“Reticent Justice Opens Up to a Group of Students,” in the Times, April 13, 2009.
It's tough to argue against Clarence Thomas as the worst Supreme Court Justice in my lifetime.
