Once you take ona position like Supreme Court Justice, that excuse goes out the door. Thats your responsibility in public service. so even if that is the case he fails on being competent, however, it is the case as has been pointed out.

What is your standard?

To the bank. I expect as a supreme court justice that you act with integrity and that yes you abstain from any opinion and influence based on political standing or bias or you do not take the oath. He can still vote, what more influence does he need, thats the one we all get by law and right.

I dont even have time to go through everything wrong with your reasoning here. You are not a politician in this system we are talking about on the level we are talking about and are therefore not relevant as subject for testing. Secondly you can never use yourself in testing, its a bias no matter how hard you try or what you believe. It's not allowed in actual testing for someone to take a test serious, for a reason. Everyone has a price, its easy for you ina discussion to talk, but that doesnt not accurately and can not accurately represent a model for testing. You also by limiting to one and yourself throw out the possibility to statistically determine what percentage of a whole of a testing model would function like or unlike you, because there is only you.
In fact... this is like what I was explaining to you in that other thread, that you do... in all these arguments. You need to read up on Critical Thinking and the difference between Objective and Subjective reasoning. Thats probably why people get upset at you.

I actually think a fair and balanced system must have many viewpoints involved, but done so in a manner that is clear and not in a conflict of interest. Period. Thomas himself is not the issue for me, it is this kind of allowed conflict in all levels of government. This is as good as any to be vocal. I am just as vocal about Obama and his allowing these people involved in the financial meltdown to continue their existence in government and without ramifications as i was on every president going all the way back, and thats just one other subject and summarized.
I've covered this, now your just resorting to accusations...
