Justice Thomas and his luxury reporting snafu are the latest in a long list of issues that chief Justice Roberts must content with as the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court. The Court is still reeling from the leaked abortion ruling last year and the leaker of said document was never caught even after an extensive investigation. Furthermore, Justice Thomas’ wife is engaged in far right politics which for some offers an air of partiality and political bent to the public perception of the Court. These vexing problems offer no easy fixes and are caught in the vacuum of a deepening political polarization in the nation as a whole.
