Justice Clarence Thomas asked a question for the first time in 3 years -- here's why Thomas's comments suggest the justice, who is 70 years old, is not considering relinquishing his seat to a younger President Donald Trump nominee. Thomas is on the far right of the generally conservative Supreme Court, and has been an associate justice since 1991.
