Our first animatronic Supreme Court Justice???

Is is possible that Clarence (Slappy) Thomas is really just an outstanding piece of animatronics that walks, sits, nods and falls asleep on the bench? Examining the evidence is seems that for 6 years now Thomas has not been heard to utter a word during oral argument at any of the cases the Supreme Court has accepted. The position that he is really only an Animatron is also given credence by the similarity of his "opinions" to that of "Fat Tony the Enforcer". Thomas rarely seems to have a thought of his own, content to parrot back whatever Scalia regurgitates. And note the animatronic inability to check a simple box on his financial disclosure documents, although years before (when Thomas was actually a living, breathing human) he was able to check the box without difficulty. No, all of this points to the inescapable conclusion that, at some point Thomas was replaced by a RW-programmed Animatronic Justice, worth of inclusion in Disney World. Too bad it's on our highest court instead.

Not very much animated movement there. I think houseplants growing toward the sunlight may be more animated.
