A judge must avoid all impropriety and appearance of impropriety. This prohibition applies to both professional and personal conduct. A judge must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny and accept freely and willingly restrictions that might be viewed as burdensome by the ordinary citizen.
At least twice before, Thomas has similarly defended his failure to make required disclosures as an unintentional error or a misunderstanding of the rules.

Thanks for your completely sincere suggestion, which I'm sure was made in a good faith effort to have a mature and intelligent discussion on this topic, but I'm actually very well versed in LGBT+ history already.
That utterly misses the point of Pride. It's not about revenge, it's about reconciliation. It's not about hatred, it's about love. It's not about divisiveness, it's about coming together. It's a good thing that police, etc. want to be in our parades. Excluding them actively harms the progress LGBT+ people have made since Stonewall.
I'm obviously asking why no cops. I don't believe you didn't understand that. But clearly, you're not willing to discuss it, so I'll withdraw the question.
Mine was "banal".
Sounds like "canal".
