Where does that rule invoke a "spouses clause" even when said spouse is not or has not "served in governmental employment."

Paragraph b clause 5, section iii. Link

Mrs. Thomas is head of an organization that may benefit if Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person:
(i) Is a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee of a party;
(ii) Is acting as a lawyer in the proceeding;
(iii) Is known by the judge to have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding;
(iv) Is to the judge’s knowledge likely to be a material witness in the proceeding.

All I see is that Thomas should recuse himself if and when she is called as a “material” witness (iv).

(iii)? What is her “substantially affected interest” (AKA-harm/gain standing)?

[Paperdoll]

I am sure that Justice Thomas will recuse himself from the Obamacare case if he would benefit in any way for the decision. Justice Thomas is, as is Mr. Cain, an honest and ethical men.
