28. Same thoughts! What kind of a hat is it? |
|
Do Supreme Court Justices set their own fashion? Remember when Rehnquist added stripes to his robe?

2. If you have ever been to the Supreme Court arguments... |
|
You would know he is ALWAYS sleeping. I've been several times and each time he was nodding off. I thought it was very disrespectful to the attorneys arguing 'their' most important case.

29. I have often wondered whether Thomas has ever said anything during these |
|
hearings. Ever asked a question? Requested clarification? Ever wrote his own concurring or dissenting opinion?
He is just there.

40. He likes written stuff... |
|
I have heard him interviewed. He says he dislikes the oral arguments and has normally made up his mind based on the written briefs. He rarely asks a question (unless he is talking in his sleep). I think he has written his own opinion when Scalia was too liberal for him.

26. I saw Donna on ABC too and I thought she said she caught him on film wiping a tear away! |
|
That was a good/fun interview.
Did you catch the part when she said she had taken Obama's fleece blanket? Cute!

One of his passions is the 40-foot motor home he and his wife use to explore the United States in their downtime.

19. He looks like that a lot. I wonder about his health. |
|
He always looks worn out.
I wonder, though, if he was trying to keep from looking into the camera, knowing that everyone would want to see his expression. "Hey, everyone, look how the conservative black guy reacts!" Though I despise him as a sycophantic toadie, I can understand him not wanting to become the token conservative African American pedagogic example for the media at the inauguration.

30. When is he awake? And if he is awake at any given time... |
|
can anyone tell?
Scalia looks like he's ready to accuse the individual to his right of breaking wind.

His eyes are in shadows but you can see pupils if you brighten the photo and add contrast. Photo posted here... http://unwilling-dystopia.blogspot.com/2009/01/clarence-thomas-is-awake-at.htmlEdit: It's fun, but best not to start rumors. ReEDIT: I put in a valid photo link.

33. I'm not starting any rumors. Looks like he's asleep to me and I asked DUers for their thoughts. |
|
And your photo doesn't show up.
I zoomed in as much as possible on the panorama that was posted and I don't see his pupils.
