    At least twice before, Thomas has similarly defended his failure to make required disclosures as an unintentional error or a misunderstanding of the rules.

    Seems like the only possible explanations are that he’s lying or he’s incompetent.

      If Democrats win Senate & House in 2024, they better freaking make it a priority to change the laws about Supreme Court justices.

        Mandate ethics standards, add in term limits.

        I like the idea of a scheduled rotation. Let’s say, every two years, or mid year to give presidents time to get the hearings out.

        Senate must begin immediate and expeditious proceedings for confirmation.

        Finally, and most importantly, their robes must be tie dye.
