Clarence Thomas

But Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas would've gone further.
He had kept mum on the Supreme Court bench for a decade.
He stood up for the Second Amendment in an under-the-radar criminal law case.
Conservatives have had a functional majority at least since 1991.
But not before calling Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts "disgraceful."
He and Justice Antonin Scalia assailed the court's decision not to hear a case that effectively upheld an assault weapons ban.
