When questions were first raised about the retreat last month, a court spokeswoman said Justice Thomas had made a “brief drop-by” at the event in Palm Springs, Calif., in January 2008 and had given a talk. In his financial disclosure report for that year, however, Justice Thomas reported that the Federalist Society, a prominent conservative legal group, had reimbursed him an undisclosed amount for four days of “transportation, meals and accommodations” over the weekend of the retreat. The event is organized by Charles and David Koch, brothers who have used millions of dollars from the energy conglomerate they run in Wichita, Kan., to finance conservative causes.
I used to think Justices of the Peace who perform marriages for $$ outside of their official duties had a license to print money. This must be the big time!
It's hard to blame Thomas for wanting to have something to do. It's just show up, shut up, vote with Scalia. He's like the Ringo of SCOTUS.

Don't you mean IN Koch's can?
I thought it was pronounced "coke", like sniffing coke off of a hooker's ass.
