No, people are not saying judges should recuse because of the political activity of their spouse. If that was the standard he should have recused himself much earlier because she's always been a) crackers and b) extremely political. Everyone's always known it; it's never been that much of an issue. This is not about politics, it's about a serious conflict of interest. Ginni Thomas actively pushed the executive branch to illegally overturn the presidential election, and Clarence Thomas had to rule on decisions that could expose that. That's not politics, it's potential criminal exposure for one or both of them, depending on what she did.
