Remembering Rev. Al's quote from the DNC in 04:
"Had George Bush selected the Supreme Court Justices in '54, Clarence Thomas would have never gotten (into) to law school." lol.

(7,572 posts)....Each of them was interviewed about how they made their decisions and how they viewed the process. Thomas said emphatically that he thought the oral arguments were a complete waste of time. He has already made up his mind and needs not ask any questions. Also, not involved in changing his mind in the process AFTER the oral arguments when the judges discuss amongst themselves. Stubborn - narrow minded - arrogant - mind set in cement.

(692 posts)Since he's the swing vote, often being the only one who decides whether SCOTUS makes a "conservative" decision or a "ridiculously-far-to-the-right-of-conservative" decision. He sounds like he's leaning against the insurance-buying mandate

(344 posts)He doesnt comment but "listens to what others say and then decides later."
Im guessing that his corporate friends want him to rule a certain way and he doesnt want to say something that will backfire or get him caught in a lie.

(11,101 posts)and a colossal waste of time. I have admittedly never argued before the Supreme Court, but I have argued before Federal Appeals Courts (the courts directly below the USSC) many times. Never once has the questioning given any real indication of how the case is going to be decided. I'm also quite sure that I have never had a case that was going to be decided one way only to have it change because of oral arguments. I have no reason to think that the case is any different for the Supreme Court. The decision is based on the briefs and the work of their own clerks, or in Thomas' case, whatever Tony tells him to do.
