Senate Democrats' 93-Page Report Condemns Supreme Court Ethics, Accuses Justices Thomas and Alito of Misconduct, Calls for Reforms
Dec 21, 2024, 04:15 PM
A report released by Senate Democrats following a 20-month investigation into Supreme Court ethics has condemned the court for fostering a 'culture of misconduct.' The report specifically highlights ethical lapses by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, accusing them of violating federal law and failing to disclose luxury travel and gifts. The investigation found that Supreme Court justices have regularly failed to identify conflicts of interest requiring recusal and have accepted lavish gifts without proper reporting. The Senate report calls for legislative reforms, including the establishment of an enforceable code of conduct and changes to the oversight of federal courts. The findings have reignited discussions about accountability and ethics within the Supreme Court.
