Listen: Clarence Thomas Breaks 10-Year Courtroom Silence

Justice Clarence Thomas broke his 10-year streak of asking no questions during Supreme Court oral arguments on Feb. 29, 2016. And he did it in a big way, asking 10 questions of Justice Department lawyer Ilana Eisenstein, who was defending a federal law that bans anyone who has a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction from owning a gun. Listen to audio from the exchange, released by the Supreme Court on March 4.
