Sure. Is it a technical violation of the law that applies to federal judges? It sure seems it is. But now the question is, okay, so what now? The Supreme Court has never even formally accepted the idea that the justices are subject to those particular laws. And even if they are the question is, what is the enforcement mechanism? The donor Harlan Crowe has issued a statement saying that the vacations were gatherings of friends and that he and his wife didn't try to influence Thomas's judicial decisions.
