Ordinary private citizens aren’t held to judicial standards. There’s no requirement for construction workers or bus drivers or waitresses to be apolitical or to avoid the mere appearance of impropriety.[/quote]

Isn't Alito's wife one of those private citizens? [/quote]

Sure. But how stupid or partisan do you have to be to not recognize or acknowledge that when you live with a Supreme Court Justice, that their impartiality is a major part of their job and that appearances are crucial to letting the public know a judge on the highest court of the land takes that impartiality seriously. Anyone who knows anything about ethics knows that appearances are an important part of the guidelines and you don't do things that could create the appearance of ethics violations even if you believe the act itself does not violate ethics codes. I work at a much lower level of the federal government than the SCOTUS and I receive ethics training annually that emphasizes this aspect of the ethics code. Don't do it if it causes the appearance of ethics violations even if it does not in itself cross over the line.

So she and he are either stupid are insanely partisan. Which is it?[/quote]
