SCOTUS: ICYMI, Thomas completed the 1st week of his 10th year of not asking any questions from the bench.
-
@rickhasen But his silence implies a pre-ordained view, and also seems cowardly.
.@kckitty Disagree. Justice Thomas does not seem afraid of questions in public settings. Do you think Scalia views less pre-ordained? RBG's?
-
-
@rickhasen Who cares what Thomas says in public settings. I am not questioning Scalia (separate issue) and now you drag in RGB? -
.
@kckitty What Thomas says in public settings shows he is not afraid of give and take. And Scalia and RGB have pretty set ideological views -
.
@kckitty I probably disagree with J. Thomas more than any other Justice. But no reason to question his motives, smarts, or engagement. -
@rickhasen Okay, but your backing of a Supreme Justice who barely passed the@ABA threshold seems weird. -
.
@kckitty Justice Thomas has been on Court since 1990. We have enough evidence now to know if he's competent to decide cases. He is.

@rickhasen@kckitty it’s disgraceful ?s add to the process. That’s the pt of oral args. They can elicit info they otherwise wouldn’t get -
.
@brianros1@kckitty Ask appellate judges and they will tell you that oral argument RARELY sways anyone. -
@rickhasen@kckitty oh I agree 100% w/that, but even if it sways the logic. I guess my point is, conference is highly structured. They don't -
@rickhasen@kckitty sit and hash out cases, so their one chance to interact openly & ask ?s is oral arguments.
