It will be easy for the Left to make too much of a new report questioning the ethics of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, but conservatives should not make too little of it, either. Thomas was wrong not to disclose apparently free, luxurious trips as a guest of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow. He should amend the record, apologize for the lack of disclosure, pledge to observe disclosure rules more scrupulously in the future — and then move on.Thomas’s nondisclosures are an ethical lapse.
It also is true that Crow regularly donates to conservative causes that at least track with, and sometimes directly support, efforts in which Thomas’s wife, Virginia, takes part in her professional life. And among the “exceptions” to the disclosure rule is that “if someone hosts a justice at their own property, free food and lodging don’t have to be disclosed.”
