Mainstream media hit pieces on Clarence Thomas aren’t exactly rare, and yet another common talking point about about the conservative SCOTUS Justice is being recycled:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas hasn't asked a question in a decade https://t.co/fuq0dlCenn #SCOTUS pic.twitter.com/Y4dJUbaMOB

And?
This tired smear again? People at @NBCNews don't know how SCOTUS works, or are hoping their audience doesn't.

@NBCNews Confusing. The tweet said, "a decade". The news report said, "7 years". Hmmm…Has the length of a decade changed? Lol

@instapundit Some people believe written law, precedent, tradition, and history are pretty important and can be learned without a question.
