Congress snuck a provision into the defense bill that would shield payments to Supreme Court spouses from disclosure

This would’ve hidden the $680000 Ginni Thomas got from the Heritage Foundation

The $200K she got from someone with a brief before Clarence

How f’ed up is that?!

From Jane Mayer at The New Yorker:

Lawmakers have just added a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act protecting Supreme Court spouses from having to reveal any outside employer, in the name of security. If it passes, Ginni Thomas’s professional entanglements would effectively be state secrets.
