I've heard this too, but as far as I'm aware Thomas has not confirmed this as the reason for why he's speaking up now. Edit: Wanted to say that it's kind of weird to me to think that Thomas wasn't asking questions only because Scalia was. Maybe that's true, but it's just an odd thing to think for me after reading tons of Thomas' opinions. He definitely has a mind of his own.
