The Supreme Court is facing ethics questions since a ProPublica investigation reported that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas received luxurious trips from Republican donor Harlan Crow for more than two decades. The investigation says he failed to report these trips in his annual financial disclosures.

I guess the crux of Judge Thomas' situation is if Harlan Crow is treated as a 'long-time personal friend' or a 'Republican donor'. Under the previous guidance most, if not all, of the visits could be reported either way depending on if you are a supporter of his or a detractor.
Supporters will say he was a long-time personal friends and the trips didn't have to be reported.
Detractors will say he was a Republican Donor and the trips did have to be reported.
... and it will all come down to partisan bickering again.

The stricter rules went into effect mid-March, yet he hasn't reported for 2 decades? Something doesn't compute... new math?

Exactly. All he has to say is, "I have not reported any this since the mid-March date because its 2024."
