He didn’t have too. Why didn’t Sotomayor recuse herself from the publishing company that gave her $3 million advances and why (and I have personal knowledge of this) not disclose she was vacationing rent free in a home in Puerto Rico?
And aside from that. Why didn’t the others?
Gorsuch did the same thing - i.e. failed to recuse himself from a case involving the publisher of his books
Do you really want to compare anyone to Clarence Thomas (I assume you're aware of all his financial scandals)
They both got a lot more money than the miniscule amount that Smith donated
BTW - I'd be happy to see the SCOTUS held to the same ethical requirements that apply to all other Federal judges
Can we agree on that?
You claim that smith is a mediocre failed attorney so if you really believe that then you should be glad he was the one assigned as Special Counsel
