Yes to this episode giving an appearance of conflict of interest. I will wait for more investigation to draw any final conclusions. On a different note, we will not be privy to any arraignments the Thomases made concerning colliding career paths. Assume they had awareness of possible conflicts. Not expecting one to have absolute veto power over the other’s career goals.

"In the end, the question may be moot. At 73 and currently in poor health, Justice Thomas may decide that his time on the Court is at an end both to avoid the controversy caused by his wife and because of legitimate health concerns. Such a move would be better for the country than another impeachment battle."

There's no way that Thomas resigns as long as Biden is in the Oval Office and Democrats control the Senate. I'll put my money on CT emulating RBG on that front.

There is no way in hell that Justice Thomas resigns voluntarily while a Democrat controls the Presidency.

He, and even more so his wife, are too partisan to give Biden a shot at replacing him with a liberal judge.

Wow, so now it is against the law to believe in an idea that does not fit the Democrats picture of America. Better get those prisons emptied out of the real criminals, got a lot of political prisoners heading that way. So idiotic.
