Not defending in any way. But aren't the SC's ethics rules different? I know the reporting from the talking head legal experts I have seen on the trips that were not reported say no "rules" were really broken. I won't be surprised if it's the same with this. He maybe a sleaze but he is not stupid.

From OP's link:

Federal law requires certain officials, including Supreme Court justices, to disclose information about most real estate transactions worth more than $1,000, but Thomas never listed the deal on his annual disclosure documents.
Seems cut and dried to me.
