Justice Clarence Thomas has not asked a question in a case for the last two years 
"Two years and 142 cases have passed since Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas last spoke up at oral arguments. It is a period of unbroken silence that contrasts with the rest of the court's unceasing inquiries." That's fascinating - I always suspected a judge could get away without asking questions... didn't expect it to happen up at the top level though. Well, at least they still have eight judges interrogating counsel with questions. That's still one more than we have in Australia.
