Like I said, I can't image that in ten years he never heard something that made him want to ask a follow up question. Even if he told someone else to task the questions before they started.
He had his mind made up before oral argument, so he didn't really care.
I'd say 99% of the time all the justices have their mind made up before oral argument, but they just like to play the debate game. Thomas just does not give a shit.
The Justices have already researched any questions they had after reading the briefs. They know the answer to the questions they are going to act. I don't think anything in oral argument changes anyone's mind.
