​

The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed its highly-anticipated Thursday morning vote to subpoena a pair of close associates of two Supreme Court justices, after Republicans on the committee filed more than 90 amendments to slow the next phase of a months-long Supreme Court ethics inquiry.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee that oversees the federal courts, in a statement accused Republicans of “jamm[ing] the gears of the committee” as it seeks to understand the extent of the gifts and luxury trips Dallas billionaire Harlan Crow and conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo provided or helped arrange for Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr.

“In order to inform our legislative efforts to establish an effective code of conduct, Congress needs to understand the full scope of the court’s ethical crisis,” Durbin said in his opening remarks, before the vote was delayed. “This is the legislative purpose for all the committee’s inquiries in this matter, including the subpoena authorization I’m requesting today.”

“If every federal judge is held to a standard of code of conduct and ethics, why do we exempt these nine individuals?” Durbin added. “We shouldn’t.”

Should make for great television...Plus we get to compare Trump's relatives testifying that they have no knowledge of how their business are run, vs Biden's answering question that have no relevancy....
