His wife can do what she wants, but Thomas needs to bow out of court decisions if they could involve her. The wife had been texting/calling Mark Meadows regarding overturning the election. There were subpoenas for various items including communications with the White House regarding that time and subject. The supreme court refused to hear the Trump camp's appeal without comment, except Thomas, who wrote an opinion disagreeing with the decision not to take up the appeal. I believe the subpoena ultimately lead to the public disclosure of Ginny Thomas's text messages. Seems like he shouldn't have been involved in the decision let alone be writing opinions about it.
