Clarence Thomas FINALLY Speaks
But Supreme Court Justice
A Yale degree could mean a lawyer is incompetent, not competent as a capital trial counsel, Thomas argued, according to a paraphrased tweet from SCOTUSblog.
Here's the full exchange courtesy of oral argument transcripts. From the transcript, it appears that Thomas just uttered a partial sentence in response to Justice Antonin Scalia. However, it's possible the transcriber didn't capture the entire exchange:
Thomas spoke during arguments in Boyer v. Louisiana, which is a death penalty case, according to SCOTUSblog.
Twitter users were shocked that the mute justice finally spoke.
"@SCOTUSblog Wait, he said something? #endofdays," @NOWChicago tweeted.
The last words Thomas spoke during oral arguments came in 2006 during Holmes v. South Carolina, when he grilled an attorney about the state's refusal to allow a convicted man to enter evidence at his trial that another person was guilty.
