That is incorrect. CMOS circuits still consume current, even when they are not switching. It's commonly referred to as leakage, and is well understood. There are many sources of leakage in CMOS circuits, but the most common is subthreshold leakage. Generally speaking, this leakage gets worse as technology gets smaller, but - in recent years - has been mitigated against with fin-FET technologies.
