It's a bad look because it makes it very hard to tell whether he is voting in the billionaires' interests, or the 99%.
A quick check of Thomas' voting record might help here. How does he generally vote on cases involving
the limitation of campaign donations, unions, and the like? He's pretty much on the side of "freedom," isn't he?
Better yet, imagine that you are bringing a case to the Supreme Court which the billionaires would dislike, say one
which makes campaign spending more transparent, blocking dark money.
Why should you have to worry whether or not he will side with his friends, if voting in your favor means he could
lose $500,000 vacations?
During a lavish Indonesian feast or around the campfire in the Adirondacks with the head of the Federalist Society,
no one will ask questions if he votes in your favor, our favor?
