Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Breaks 10-Year Silence Ahead of Key Abortion Case

HeadlineMar 01, 2016

Justice Clarence Thomas has broken a decade-long silence during arguments at the Supreme Court. Thomas asked a series of questions in apparent defense of gun rights during a case on domestic violence and gun control. The remarks Monday came exactly 10 years and one week after Thomas’ last question and just over two weeks after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, who was known for dominating the Supreme Court arguments. This comes as the court is set to hear arguments Wednesday on the most important abortion rights case in more than 20 years.
