WASHINGTON — All Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have called on Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate undisclosed luxury trips that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted from a wealthy Republican donor.
The panel, the Democrats said in a Monday letter, would soon hold a hearing on the court’s ethical standards.
The committee “has a role to play in ensuring that the nation’s highest court does not have the federal judiciary’s lowest ethical standards,” the senators, led by Chairman Dick Durbin, said in the letter.
