Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has gone 5 years without ever speaking during oral arguments presented to the Court. New information just revealed that Clarence Thomas is actually Mute. According to his wife plus others that know him well, Justice Thomas used Buffalo Bob, famous ventriloquist, to answer questions during his confirmation hearings in 1991. Buffalo Bob died in 1998 but before he passed, he left this message to his family:
"I am sorry, I am responsible for the shredding of The Constitution."
Buffalo Bob's daughter was quoted, "My Dad always said he worked in the government in a secret capacity, and we all thought is was bunk, but since he confessed to being Clarence Thomas' voice, well, his notoriety went up, even if respect for him went down."
