“The Supreme Court recently increased the level of disclosure required for justices and even the new rules may not have applied to all of the travel that the ProPublica piece highlighted. Thomas did not provide a response to ProPublica nor has the court responded to a request for comment from NBC News.
Sens. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Dick Durbin of Illinois, among others, called for justices to be bound by a code of conduct. District and appeals court judges are bound by a judicial ethics code, but the highest court is not.“

We don’t have and do not need kings and queens in America. This guy, a black guy at that, should be more understanding of America’s “historic precedents”, his words, when occupying a federal office, and should have far more respect for it and his current position. He was supposed to have reported anything of value greater than $415 that he received. Period.
Scalia I had many disagreements with, but he wasn’t dishonest, had not been accused of sexual harassment, and could talk intelligently about his positions. Thomas is none of that and ignoring The People’s sense of propriety..
