Democratic Representatives Jamie Raskin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have raised concerns about the handling of ethics scandals within the Supreme Court. In a letter addressed to Chief Justice John Roberts, the duo posed five written questions regarding the steps taken to investigate mounting ethics issues involving Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
The letter highlights the tension between the high court, where conservatives hold a majority, and Democrats in Congress who have been advocating for stricter ethics rules. Recent ethics controversies involving Thomas and Alito have contributed to a decline in public trust in the court.
