I got to meet Justice Thomas about 30 years ago, when he was a new justice. I was part of a small group of law students from the University of Virginia - all members of the Federalist Society - and we made a trip every year to meet a different justice friendly to the Society.

It was an informal setting, and everyone was asking him very legalistic questions that he really couldn't answer because of they involved pending issues. Finally, he says jokingly "does anyone have a question I can answer?" I noticed he was a pretty sturdy guy, so I asked him what was his max in the bench press.

Hey, at least it was a question he could answer.

“I asked him what was his max in the bench press.”

That’s awesome. Wish I had thought of that. I just asked him how he was enjoying our campus, and how he managed as a conservative in a liberal world. You probably got a more memorable answer!

Thank you both for sharing. Very cool stories. He is one of my heroes.

I would have asked him about drag racing. He has attended quite a few of those NHRA events.

What was his max?

I was looking at this picture of him sitting and laughing recently, and thinking, he looks like a My Olympia now.
