re: #66 BryanS

I’m honestly not sure how big of a deal it is to not disclose on a form where his wife works when the whole world would seem to know it—certainly anyone appearing before the Supreme Court.

If the disclosure process is meant to ensure conflicts of interests are known, did Thomas’s actions impede that? Was there any non-disclosure that wasn’t already very publicly known?

I can’t speak for the American legal system, or anything at the federal Supreme Court level, but I can say in Canada, having something like this occur at the provincial level would probably result in that Judge not hearing cases until the matter is resolved. Even the appearance of hiding something is enough, even with otherwise well known, public information.

Especially if she had previously reported as required by law and then stopped after taking this employment.
