Under the U.S. Supreme Court: Bruising healthcare fight looms over Kagan, Thomas - UPI.com

When an audience member posed a recusal question based on Thomas' situation, The Daily Beast reported, Breyer said, "This is a false issue.

"As far as what your wife does or your husband does, I myself try to stick to a certain principle, and feel very strongly about it, that a wife or a husband is an independent person and they make up their own minds what their career is going to be."

Breyer suggested a Thomas recusal would not be a good idea, The Daily Beast said. "The Supreme Court is different in one respect. In every other court, if I decided in a close matter to recuse myself, that's the easy decision. That's one fewer case I have to decide, and besides, they'll bring in somebody else to decide it. If I recuse myself on the Supreme Court, there is no one else and that could switch the result."

The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

I have always thought this to be an eloquent explaination of the human condition. Sadly, the modern day translation is the equivalent of "Stupid is as stupid does"
