Has Thomas ever recused himself?Judges at all levels are supposed to maintain ethical impartiality.
None of their personal or business connections are supposed to influence their decisions. An appearance of a lack of impartiality should lead a Judge to recuse themselves from a case
With Ginni Thomas, her political and business connections are relevant
Why should he?Has Thomas ever recused himself?
I see you agree with the OP… which was satireWhy should he?
He hasn't had to for anything. So why would he? Has any lawyer in front of him ever even asked him to? ohhh noHas Thomas ever recused himself?
No?
Ohh
WHAT?Disclose? The 5th Amendment says that nobody in the U.S. should be forced to disclose anything. Why pick on the spouses of Supreme Court Justices.
It looks like it is cheaper to buy a supreme court judge than buying an election.'No mention of Ginni.' Conservative activist directed money to wife of Justice Clarence Thomas
Leonard Leo directed money to Ginni Thomas, according to a new report. It's the latest news about money and gifts Clarence Thomas and his family have received.www.usatoday.com
"A well-known conservative legal activist who has helped shape the modern Supreme Court arranged for the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas to receive tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work - Leonard Leo, the former longtime vice president of the Federalist Society who helped President Donald Trump’s administration vet nominees for the high court, instructed Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill a nonprofit called the Judicial Education Project and to pay Virginia "Ginni" Thomas $25,000 - No mention of Ginni, of course," The Post quoted Leo instructing Conway."
The Post reported that Conway's firm, the Polling Company, paid Ginni Thomas's firm $80,000 between June 2011 and June 2012 and expected to pay $20,000 more before the end of 2012. It was not clear what the money was for, though Leo told The Post in a statement that it "involved gauging public attitudes and sentiment." In his statement to The Post, Leo explained his desire to keep Ginni Thomas' name off the paperwork by asserting he has "always tried to protect the privacy of Justice Thomas and Ginni" because of how "disrespectful, malicious and gossipy people can be.”
Leonard Leo is right; the spouses of Supreme Court justices shouldn't be subjected to the vengeful, malicious world of politics - therefore they shouldn't have to disclose anything they receive financially from mega donors - unless those donors are supporting causes that we disagree with...in that case, it is sinister and worthy of prosecution. However, that is not the case in this situation...Ginni has always made it known that she is apolitical and seldom engages in any sort of political pressure campaigns or activism --out of respect for her husband's position as Supreme Court justice.
The lib media and the Deep State are only going after Clarence because he is a black....but a good black, not a bad black like Ketanji Jackson...why won't they investigate her and her spouse? Why won't they talk about the 34 million she received from China once she was nominated to the Supreme Court? There are also reports that her husband received 22 million from Soros for his work in planning terrorist attacks with Antifa as well as training trannies to become mass shooters...why isn't anyone investigating that? Why? because the media and the Deep State are at war with Conservatives, especially black Conservatives and their families.
It seems a Suoreme Court Justice is as close to a King as you can get.Has Thomas ever recused himself?
No?
Ohh
That was supposed to keep them apoliticalIt seems a Suoreme Court Justice is as close to a King as you can get.
No rules
No ethics requirements
No oversight
Lifetime appointment
They are untouchable
If couse. All three trump appointees lied during during their Senate hearing. Typical repubs....That was supposed to keep them apolitical
Hasn’t worked out so well
The Supreme Court deals with Constitutional issues and if you are going to criticize the Court you need to be familiar with the Constitution. The 5th Amendment to the Bill of Rights says that a U.S. citizen cannot be forced to disclose information.WHAT?
