Senate Democrats Release 93-Page Report on 20-Month Investigation into Supreme Court Ethics, Highlighting Misconduct by Justices Thomas and Alito
Dec 21, 2024, 06:00 PM
A report released by Senate Democrats following a nearly two-year investigation into ethical practices at the Supreme Court has highlighted numerous ethical lapses among justices, including Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The 93-page report accuses the justices of fostering a 'culture of misconduct' and calls for legislative reforms to establish an enforceable code of conduct. Specific allegations include Thomas's acceptance of undisclosed luxury trips and Alito's failure to recuse himself from cases where he had conflicts of interest. The report urges Congress to take action to address these issues, emphasizing that ethical misconduct has persisted within the Court for decades. This inquiry reflects growing concerns about accountability and transparency within the highest court in the United States.
