Not that I'm looking to defend Thomas, but my (no doubt limited) understanding is that by the time the oral arguments are being presented, there is no actual new information being presented - they are to clarify any questions that are raised in response to the briefs that the judges have already seen*.
* but yeah - my guess is that Thomas just leaves that all to his clerks, and does fuck all real work himself. Unless he's paid to, obvs.

Yeah, that is true. Also, the founding fathers didn't intend for him to stay awake at work.

¡apesta!
There are lots of rumours about Clarence Thomas sleeping whilst court is in session.
I went to the Supreme Court in 1998 and Thomas slept through 20 minutes of the respondent's argument. It was a super boring case about whether severely disabled children are entitled to a free and public education, so you can understand why he wasn't particularly interested.
