And nothing.
Just a reminder to keep you angry. Because if you aren't angry, you aren't paying close enough attention. They tell me we elect representatives to keep an eye on this sort of thing. That's what they tell me, anyway.

Experts say Virginia Thomas' work doesn't violate ethical rules for judges. But Liberty
Central could give rise to conflicts of interest for her husband, they said, as it tests the
norms for judicial spouses. The couple have been married since 1987.

Virginia Thomas declined to comment in detail about her plans for LibertyCentral.org,
which she said would fully launch in May. In a brief phone interview, she did not directly
answer questions about whether she and her husband had discussed the effects her role
might have on perceptions of his impartiality.
"I don't involve myself in litigation. Are you asking that because there's a different standard
for conservatives? Did you ask Ed Rendell that question?" she said, referring to the
Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, who is married to a federal appellate court judge.

In 2000, while at the Heritage Foundation, she was recruiting staff for a possible George W.
Bush administration as her husband was hearing the case that would decide the election.
When journalists reported her work, Thomas said she saw no conflict of interest and that
she rarely discussed court matters with her husband.
