At the very least, the Ginni Thomas revelations

[Mme. Defarge]

fail the “appearance of a conflict of interest” test. Meaning that the expectation of confidence in the opinions and judgments of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has to be in serious doubt.

1. I predict the resignation of Justice Thomas by end of August

[Samrob]

3. The integrity of the Court depends on his doing so. And that is the line Dems should push

every time they get a chance in every public and private opportunity, TV, radio, and print media included.

[Mz Pip]

13. Republicans don't care

They don’t care about the integrity of the Court. That’s for historians to decide. They care about now and what the count can do for them now. Screw integrity.

[dem4decades]

5. If he died tomorrow the Republicans would still put his robed body in his seat. He doesn't ask

questions anyway, who'd know?

[SoonerPride]

8. The only way he's leaving his seat is in a box

[Mz Pip]

12. Fat chance

He doesn’t care. He knows there aren’t enough votes to impeach him. He’ll waddle in giving a mental middle finger to all of his detractors. He’s smug, arrogant and doesn’t give a shit about ethics or the appearance of impropriety.

It could come out that Ginni was writing his opinions. Won’t matter and it won’t matter to conservatives either.

2. IF one assumes spouses 'business' dealings are shared;

MINE were not, we practiced in completely different areas of law.

(This may be an extreme example, but may provide food for thought.)

[Mme. Defarge]

4. That's why I emphasized

THE APPEARANCE of a conflict of interest, which is an important concept and distinction.

[malaise]

11. I think the 8-1 vote told us everything we need to know n/t

[dem4decades]

7. He was the lone vote to withhold the White House documents from J6, he knew.

[Mr. Ected]

6. I suppose it was inevitable that Thomas went down in flames like this

He was never up to the task to begin with, his ethics were unethical, his legal curiosity was limited, his judicial voice was the echo of a federalist memo, and he was married to a traitor.

Wouldn't it be sweet if we could "steal" a seat on the SC to at least partially compensate for the sneering hypocrisy of the right during Trump's tenure?

[ymetca]

9. If he kicks

queue McConnell bloviating how it's "just too close" to the midterms for the President to be appointing any more SC judges!

[enough]

10. What makes you think he's going down in flames?

If he recovers from his illness, it’s going to be business as usual for him and SCOTUS

[True Dough]

14. This is fitting:

[BGBD]

15. More magical thinking I guess.

Thomas isn't going to resign.
