Justices are predicted to use this case to determine exactly how much personal information professionals should disclose.

Supreme Court Justices' Financial Reports Show Most to Be Millionaires

What do Clarence Thomas and Anthony Kennedy lack that the other Supreme Court justices have in abundance?
