Alcohol is a perfect solvent: It dissolves marriages, families and careers.

I don't care if Biden nominates an arch-conservative. Thomas should have recused himself. And, yes she has a First Amendment right to advocate her views, but the mere appearance of potential bias and/or undue influence due to her level of involvement is enough in and of itself. Any reasonable judge or justice would have recused and if not, faced removal.

“Public confidence in our nation’s highest court is at its lowest levels in generations. The American people rightly question whether rightwing jurists in our federal courts can adjudicate the law impartially. Over the last few years, we have become numb to bad acts by powerful actors, but Clarence and Ginni Thomas have participated in one of the worst breaches of trust ever seen in our court system. Clarence Thomas cannot possibly be seen as a neutral actor but instead as a corrupt jurist who has poisoned the High Court. Clarence Thomas should have dignity and final respect for our democracy and resign.”

So what did naughty old Clarence do? I was busy with a Monte White and enjoying the day completely when I stumbled into this protracted discussion on naughty. Is it worse than Justice Dept not enforcing the US Code prohibition on harrasing Federal judges outside their homes? A felony by the way. Or sleepy joe and his Justice Dept cronies not enforcing the Federal Law against entering this country illegally when they placed their right hands on the Bible and swore to “ defend and preserve the Constitution and laws of the United States, so help them God”? Illegal entry into the US is also a Federal felony.. Dimicrats seem to enforce the laws they deem convenient to them and conveniently ignore the others. I always thought it was a plank on their party platform. And how in God’s name can all the members of the Clinton and biden crime families still not be in jail after decades of illegality on the highest levels when there are 800 plus human beings now under charge and locked up for being within 10 miles of the Capital and wearing the wrong color hat on January 6th? Enquiring minds want to know. Now, back to one of the true exquisite pleasures of life, making wonderful clouds of aromatic smoke.

Just kidding. But they they don’t like him or his wife

A lot of "A Judge Should" in there, but no "A Judge Must".
So it reads more like a list of suggestions using weaselly lawyer talk.

I would like Thomas gone, but a sense of the possibility of impropriety is not a valid reason to do that. Remember the Steele dossier? The federal government recently had convictions overturned any are not even allowed to retry those cases because the dirty deeds were so heinous. And the list goes on.

Perhaps you should read the definition of “should” because the truth “shall” set you free.
