Isn’t the entire issue that Clarence didn’t disclose these things?


So, if ProPublica got it so wrong (and this seems like a defense from a friend, not an unbiased observer), and infers conflicts in these trips and gifts that don’t exist, why not just report them when they happen? Disclose them, problem solved, right?

Failure to disclose gives the impression Thomas thinks he did things he shouldn’t let the world know. So, instead of getting into link wars to see who can post the most convincing opinion about Thomas’ social calendar, how about just insisting that all justices disclose anything that can appear to present a conflict of interest?
