The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing Tuesday focused on ‘Supreme Court Ethics Reform.’ This comes as multiple scandals have rocked the U.S.’s highest court in recent weeks. In April, a report by ProPublica revealed Justice Clarence Thomas had been treated to luxury vacations by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow for 20+ years. The same investigation mentioned Crow purchased the home belonging to Thomas’ mother, Leola Williams, where she continues living to this day, according to reports. Thomas’ financial ties to Crow had never previously been disclosed by the justice.
Recent reporting by Politico detailed Justice Neil Gorsuch failed to disclose a real estate deal involving a lawyer whose firm has appeared repeatedly before the Supreme Court.
Last week, a whistleblower complaint alleged that Jane Roberts, wife of Chief Justice John Roberts, has made more than $10 million in commissions from elite law firms — and at least one of those firms argued a case before the court after paying her hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The recently disclosed conflicts of interest are now leading to a growing demand for immediate and enforceable ethics reforms to the Supreme Court.
