Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was spotted at the Capitol, as the Supreme Court drops and hears major cases.
Thomas was seen by reporters walking at the Capitol, and when questioned, responded cheekily.
“Oh, nobody,” the conservative justice responded with a laugh when asked who he was meeting with.
“Oh, just walking,” Thomas said when asked what he was doing at the Capitol.
When pressed further on whether he had any important meetings at the Capitol, he began laughing.
“None that I’m going to tell you about,” Thomas said.
After nearly a minute of prodding, he finally concluded with, “You have good questions.”
While the appearance of a Supreme Court justice on the Hill usually draws attention, the timing of Thomas’s visit is particularly notable. The conservative-majority Supreme Court dropped three major rulings, two preferable to Republicans and one not preferable, on Monday.
TRUMP WELCOMES EXPANDED EXECUTIVE POWER TO PUSH OUT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
The Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump couldn’t remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board, that states can accept mail ballots that arrive after Election Day but are postmarked before, and that Trump had the authority to fire Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter.
Tuesday is the final day the high court will rule on cases, including those regarding Trump’s birthright citizenship order, as well as state laws prohibiting biological men from participating in women’s sports, before the term ends.
