Most disagree. Thomas is probably a good guy but he doesn’t ask questions (until Scalia died) and didn’t write many arguments. He was getting paid for rubber stamping. Not sure he is very smart. But he is better then Breyer.

—IMHO , the failure to ask questions means he reads the depositions and just listens to the posturing of the lawyers—his additions and sometimes dissents are brilliant—

Justice Thomas is on record as saying the reason he doesn’t ask questions during oral arguments is because he thinks it is nothing but theater.

He thinks the argument is in the brief. Personally, I agree with him.
