Senate Judiciary Committee members clashed Thursday over plans to subpoena two Republican donors and a conservative judicial activist with ties to Supreme Court justices, part of a probe into lavish gifts provided to members of the nation’s highest court.
The panel won’t vote until at least next week on whether to issue subpoenas to Harlan Crow and Robin Arkley II, Republican donors, and Leonard Leo, co-chairman of the board of directors of the Federalist Society.
But senators at a committee meeting Thursday did not miss an opportunity to foreshadow a fight over that vote and launch broadsides over the subpoenas.
