I think this shows that people have an unreasonable "purity" standard for SCOTUS judges. (or are pretending to because it's a quick way to score some cheap political points)
To clarify, I'm not suggesting there should be no standards. But this is clearly a targeted attack.
Before things were as heavily polarized as they are now, certain outlets reported on conflicts of interest in a more even handed way.
The reality, supreme court justices are people just like the people in the other two branches...subject to human nature and political bias.
For the people calling out Thomas for having a 28 million dollar net worth and owning multiple rental properties and having a lavish portfolio... Ketanji Brown Jackson has a striking similar portfolio to Thomas...and through very similar strategies.
