It works on ''The Honor System.''
Justice Thomas, honor system.........?
The Court should be above reproach

@mott-the-hoople saidYou're supposed to
which case are you referring to?
read the link............
Just like democrat politicians hiring and over paying family members for services...
All politicians do this crap.
In this case...his wife should not be involved like she is but you can't stop people from working and living just because of who their spouse is...
This type of behavior won't stop by either side so it's a Nothing Burger 🙄

@contenchess saidwhy limit this to just a spouse? why limit this to just a judge?
Anyone on the Supreme Court should not have any spouse working for any side...
Just my opinion.
Outside influence appears at every position. Why do we have conservative and liberal justices? Arent judges supposed to rule according to the law?
To me this is nothing more than a lib media outlet making much ado about the normal.

@jimm619 saidI agree, a judge should not have a wife with a strong opinion, he should divorce her immediately.
The Court should always appear to be 'above the fray.'

As you say, the court should "appear" to be above the fray.

action is, of course, recusal, when even
an appearance of conflicted interest is present.

@vivify saidI’m looking for the Dutch word for recuse.
It is a conflict of interest but Justices can recuse themselves and have before. Thomas should do the same.
In Holland a judge can be “wraked”, which means he’s substituted (on roughly the same grounds as recusing).
But when I look up wraak, I get the word substituted. When I look up the word recuse, it doesn’t seem to translate to Dutch.
It’s doing my head in. Or is recuse (in legal terms) exactly the same as substitute?
In my role at work, I withdrew from a topic because of a conflict of interests, and I couldn’t think of the Dutch word for recuse.
Pretty strange altogether…
