@mott-the-hoople saidAbe Fortas was forced out of SCOTUS for undisclosed financial relationships with his rich friends.... 50 years ago.
what you mean is…if a conservative judge goes against liberal wishes you libs attack with anything you can drag up
lets just be truthful for a change
Spoiler alert: he was a Libbie. It was the right call then, and it's the right call now. Ideology is irrelevant.
@shavixmir saidNext you are going to call him a Nazi just because he has two paintings by Hitler and a signed copy of Mein Kampf.
Dude, nobody need have benefitted from it.
The point is, is that it is dubious behaviour.
When you’re a public employee or a judge or a politician you declare things. Even minor things, so that everything you do is above board and clean.

If the man is unable to judge that, how the hell can you expect him to judge anything else?

What is the actionable part of "should be skeptical"?
From where I'm sitting, I would guess that Thomas has legitimate friends that are wealthy and also would be approached by different wealthy people who are NOT friends that may want to influence him.
If he and his wife vacation with someone wealthy, I can choose to be skeptical or not, but I don't see what is going ...[text shortened]... that this matters. Since my friend's house has come up a few times, I just wanted to clarify that.
Any of your friends offered to do that?
