In an extremely rare media interview Wednesday night, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas waved off suggestions that his new colleague Neil Gorsuch is “ruffling feathers” with other justices.

“He is a good man. I have no idea what they are talking about,” Thomas said in response to a question from his former law clerk Laura Ingraham, taped for her Fox News debut.

Ingraham was apparently referring to an article in Slate Magazine as well as NPR reporter Nina Totenberg's comments on the podcast “First Mondays“ and other articles suggesting that Gorsuch may be at odds with Justice Elena Kagan in particular or is annoying other justices with his manner at oral argument.
