They all do it!!!
Thomas hasn't done it as much as the others, RBG was horrible at it.

That is taken from this article.

"They all do it" is not much of a defense. I'd like to have a non-partisan, non-biased examination of things like gifting of vacations (which is different from travel to give speeches), paying for the home of a relative, paying for the schooling of a relative, and persons involved in these activities having cases before SCOTUS. Am I referring to Thomas? Yes, but also to anyone else who have any or all of these involvements.
I don't care for the "they all do it" either. I just find it interesting that they are picking on Justice Thomas when RBG WAS the worst of them all.

Why wasn't it an issue for the last 30 years? I can tell you why, because they want a 'conservative' judge to retire [or get impeached] so they can change the court. That is all that it's down to.

And if they are going to do that, let's look at all the justices....but then the dem's would be able to select 9 new replacements, and that would make them SO HAPPY!!!
Don't you think that the things Justice Thomas has been accused of are at a different level than the kinds of things in the document you posted? (i.e, supreme court justice travel https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0). Most of those (from a quick scan) are professional that seem legit to me.

Now, if RBG did get lodging and meals paid for a by a door who had business in from of the Supreme Court, I don't like it at all ... no more than I like Thomas doing it.

I tend to agree, but nobody can find a 'link' that it has affected any ruling he made.
He is a conservative judge, he rules based on the constitution.

Methinks though doth protest too much until all the facts surface!
Serious question... Do facts even exist anymore?
