To the Editor:

   While all of Washington is riveted, the drama over the Supreme Court's healthcare case is playing out in a single household.  Virginia Lamp Thomas--as the head of "Liberty Consulting" stands to make millions if the healthcare mandate is ruled unconstitutional. Her husband sits on our Supreme Court and will rule on this matter.  No one can prove that her monetary interests (they're monetary interests!) will affect his position. But the appearance of a conflict of interest stinks to high heaven.
