I understand that Judge Roberts, now the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court heard a case involving a major communications company in which he held stock and therefore had a financial interest in the outcome fo the case before him, did not recuse himself. He also stated in ;his hearing before the Senate on the approval for appointment to the Supreme Court that he would recuse himself under the same circumstances. Lying to the Senate is apparently OK for judges. Such is the integrity of our systems of justice. Clarence Thomas, when he was in charge of the Equal Opportunity and Age Discrimination swore to uphold the Constitution and prosecute the laws of the U.S. faithfully yet would not enforce the laws on age discrimination. Therefore he was appointed to a Federal judgeship and eventually appointed to the Supreme Court. Such is the integrity of the U.S. judicial system;. In risk analysis on can perform a simple truth diagram concerning alternative outputs in a particular decision process. If the charges made by Anita Hill was false and the explanation made by Clarence Thomas was true and the Senate did not confirm him, there would be small damage to the judicial system. However, if, as I think was the case, Anita Hill's charges were true and Clarence Thomas's defense was false and one put him into the Supreme Court, the damage to the judicial system would be severe. What do you think?
