This is an old list so there may be more current info but back in 2014, Kagan was taking more trips than Thomas. In fact, ALL the liberal justices and almost all of the justices were taking more trips than Thomas as he was near the bottom of the list. Scalia was at the top, so this is obviously a bipartisan thing they are ALL doing.

Pretty much every single one will take an all expense paid "teaching" position for various law schools' overseas summer programs every year.
Have any ever been asked to recuse themselves from any matters involving any such institutions because of this?

So Thomas was disclosing some paid trips but kept some secret and unreported.
