The case, which is being brought against Harvard and the University of North Carolina, is the latest potential conflict of interest involving Thomas and his wife Virginia Thomas. Ginni, as she is known, is a prominent rightwing activist who speaks out on a raft of issues that frequently come before the nation’s highest court.....
SFFA’s lawsuit seeking to strike down affirmative action has received the enthusiastic backing of the conservative National Association of Scholars. It filed an amicus brief in support of the suit, accusing Harvard admissions officials of being prejudiced against Asian students and stereotyping them as “uninteresting, uncreative and one-dimensional”.
Ginni Thomas sits on the advisory board of the National Association of Scholars. Observers are concerned that her position with a group that has intervened in the affirmative action case could present appearances of conflict of interest.

Be interesting to see that standard throughout Government (e.g, Jill Biden advising Brandon).
So female SCOTI should recuse themselves in Roe v Wade cases?
Ridiculous...
Did Elena Kagan recuse herself in the challenge to President Obama’s health-care plan? She was involved, from the beginning, in the Obama administration’s litigation strategy defending the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”).
No. She’s a democrap so that’s ok. Only Republicans have to recuse themselves.
After Kagan didn’t recuse herself from the Obamacare decisions, Thomas should tell the critics to FOAD.
Shouldn’t the Wise Latina, for her past comments on the subject?
Thomas is too smart to fall for the democrats manipulations, the gop is too stupid and corrupt to resist the democrats manipulations.
Because the racist KKK Democrats are racist...
When was the last time a liberal SCOTUS justice recused themselves for ANY reason?
It’ humorous to witness the mental gymnastics liberals go through to find a reason to oppose common sense.
"hardline conservative"The Guardian, natch."prominent rightwing"
"could present appearances of conflict of interest"
Sounds like this is a good reason why we shouldn’t have minorities on the SCOTUS. They have to ‘recuse’ themselves.
Careful! You might make a bunch of left-tard’s heads explode! LOL!
When has a Dim judge ever reclused
The guardian is a left wing RAG.
PROPAGANDA.
Don’t believe anything you read in the left wing media.
Yeah, because what would some black guy know about the lie that is affirmative action? His wife isn’t ‘black’ so how could he offer a fair opinion? Gerrard! I really dislike a lot of these ‘urinalists’.
Applies to conservatives - ONLY.
You forgot lazy.
The democrats carefully choose the RINOs who are allowed to represent red districts for their laziness and stupidity. That they are corruptible is even better for keeping them under control.
