Perhaps, instead of calling in sick next Monday, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas should call in "completely corrupt."
He failed to recuse himself on the issue of whether communications about insurrection with WH staff were privileged, which covered his own wife's 29 texts.1/2

When the Court ruled against former President Trump, and held that privilege couldn't hide communications with WH staff--like Ginni Thomas's messages--Justice Thomas dissented, making in an 8-1 ruling.
He. Had. An. Interest. In. The. Outcome.
Inexcusable. Corrupt. 2/2

Canon 3: A judge should perform the duties of the office fairly, impartially, and diligently. 3/4

Judicial Canon 3 required Thomas to recuse himself, because "the judge's spouse...was known by the judge to have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome" of what he was deciding.
This is...words fail. Inexcusably corrupt. 4/4

To clarify, it's not clear that these messages of Ginni Thomas (to Meadows' personal phone) were in the specific tranche of communications at issue in the case, but her other communications with WH insiders may have been, and the ruling applied to them all.
Still awful.
