It’s not easy being a Supreme Court spouse these days. Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife Virginia has been hounded by the January 6 committee regarding her activities — and text messages — on that day. Journalists portray her entire career as one large conflict of interest. Now, it is Jane Sullivan Roberts’s turn in the metaphorical dock. The career of the Chief’s wife is the latest fodder for the Democrats in their war on the high court — and the most ridiculous. 

The complaint comes from a former colleague of Mrs. Roberts, one Kendal Price. According to the New York Times, Mr. Price sent records to both the Justice Department and Congress indicating that Mrs. Roberts — a legal recruiter — has been paid millions for placing attorneys at firms, with some of them arguing before her husband’s bench. Litigants, he wrote, “deserve to know if their judges’ households are receiving six-figure payments.”
