Who enforces them though? The Supreme Court has shown that it doesn't believe in conflicts of interest or recusing from cases, and all he needs to do is contest the rulings until they land on his desk.

That's a defeatist attitude. Challenging this up to the supreme court would draw even more attention to the case, which Thomas may not want. Even if he did, there's no telling what the court would decide. To my knowledge he hasn't been charged yet, that would be a good first step.
