Ominbus response to a sincere but confused student

This is not the only similar blogee letter I have been receiving with the same false "analysis," so this response should put the matter to rest.

          Good day Professor Holzer. Can you please explain to this                 former student exactly what ethical violations were                             committed by Magistrate Judge Reinhardt? Can you please                 compare the ethical deficiencies comparing them to Justice                 Thomas’ conduct in ruling on matters in which his wife was             actively engaged?

         You were the best professor I had in law school (JD Brooklyn             Law School, 1978). I did not agree with your politics then and I          still don’t, but I am appreciative of your teaching and glad to             see you still fighting for what you think is right. Kindest                    regards.

        Good to hear from you, and thanks for the kind words. You’ve            answered your own question: Magistrate Reinhart is a confessed         prejudiced judge. Justice Thomas and his wife are two different,         independent people. There is more than enough evidence of                Reinhart’s bias. There is zero evidence that whatever Virginia            Thomas was doing affected the Justice’s decisions. As your                current president would say, “C’mon.”
