Thomas, only the second African-American justice in US history, has gone for years at a stretch without asking a question, including a full decade, from 2006 to 2016.<\/strong><\/em> On the occasions his voice has been heard, it has often related to race but with a counterintuitive thrust, as occurred in the new dispute over a Mississippi prosecutor\u2019s repeated elimination of blacks from a jury pool.<\/p>\nCNN<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
