You Go, Sonia!

Not that this will surprise anyone, but it's worth noting: on her first day hearing a case on the Supreme Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked more questions of the attorneys than Justice Clarence Thomas asked in several years. (McClatchy News)

In February, 2008, AP reported that Clarence Thomas had gone 2 years and 144 cases without speaking up during oral arguments. But then, why should he ask questions or pay attention to oral arguments, Justices Roberts and Alito will tell him how to vote later.

Thank you, President Obama, for giving our country a real Supreme Court Justice
