apr 20 2023 Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nominee financial disclosure from March 2022 reveals she “inadvertently omitted” consulting income her spouse “periodically receives from consulting on medical malpractice cases” on previous reports.
Conservative legal experts said Jackson’s disclosure, along with amendments Justice Sonia Sotomayor has made to her reports, show attacks on Clarence Thomas for his alleged ethics violation in failing to disclose expense paid vacations he received from
his friend and billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow are hypocritical.
“The double standard toward conservatives reeks,” Mark Paoletta, a Schaerr-Jaffe law firm partner who worked on Thomas’ confirmation as a lawyer in the White House Counsel’s office, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Conservative legal scholars are calling attacks on Clarence Thomas for his alleged ethics violations hypocritical in light of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s financial disclosure as a nominee, which shows she omitted portions of her income on previous filings,
including money from her husband’s consulting work.
Democratic lawmakers are calling for Thomas’ resignation following ProPublica’s report that he failed to disclose expense-paid vacations he received from his friend and billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow. Yet Jackson’s nominee disclosure
filed in March 2022, which notes that she “inadvertently omitted” income her spouse “periodically receives from consulting on medical malpractice cases” on prior reports, has received little attention, which legal experts told the Daily Caller
News Foundation shows there is a double standard for conservative justices.
