Senate Judiciary looking to subpoena Crow, Arkley & Leo over connections to SCOTUS judges

[butters]

with the dem majority on the committee, they can push it through without republican aid, though bipartisanship would obviously be a better look all round. They're pushing investigations into the 'gifts' given to thomas and alito, and need to find out the connections between leo and the confirmations of 'several' of the justices serving on the SC as we speak.

If they find the alleged wrongdoings, i hope there's the will and ability to take action against corruption.

Washington — The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to vote to issue subpoenas to two wealthy Republican donors and an influential conservative legal activist after their involvement in luxury trips provided to two Supreme Court justices was revealed this summer, marking a significant escalation into Democrats' investigation into the ethics practices at the high court.

The committee could vote as soon as Nov. 9 to authorize the subpoenas for donors Harlan Crow and Robin Arkley II, as well as Leonard Leo, who played an instrumental role in the confirmations of several of the current Supreme Court justices. Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse announced Monday that the panel would vote to issue the subpoenas.

this highlights the issue of the lack of an ethical code for the top court in the land, one proposed by the Judiciary Committee back in July, one that's unlikely to see the light of day in the house and opposition in the senate should it make it there.

"The Chief Justice could fix this problem today and adopt a binding code of conduct," Durbin and Whitehouse said. "As long as he refuses to act, the Judiciary Committee will."
