ProPublica's Partisan Attacks on Justice Thomas Questioned as Hypocritical Amidst Baseless Calls for Recusal

ProPublica continues partisan smear campaign against Justice Thomas over ethical conduct, using innuendo despite Thomas acting appropriately.
Justice Thomas's appearance at Koch event was not a fundraiser; other justices like Sotomayor and Kagan have also spoken at donor events.
Demands for Thomas to recuse are hypocritical given Justice Ginsburg's closer ties to liberal groups like NOW, which she never recused from.
Justice Thomas not required to disclose every speech; he shouldn't be held to new recusal standards that didn't apply to other justices.
Attacks aim to bully Thomas into recusing from cases left fears losing, but he won't bow to baseless partisan attacks.
