Democrats plan to subpoena wealthy benefactors of Supreme Court justices

[BidenPresident]

Senate Democrats announced plans Monday to vote to subpoena a pair of wealthy conservatives and a judicial activist who have underwritten or organized lavish travel for some Supreme Court justices, a move that adds to the pressure on the high court to strengthen its ethics policies.

Senate Judiciary Committee leaders said they would vote as soon as Nov. 9 to authorize subpoenas for information from Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, a close friend and benefactor of Justice Clarence Thomas, and from Leonard Leo, the conservative judicial activist. Senate Democrats do not need the vote of any Republican on the committee to authorize the subpoenas. No separate vote by the full Senate is necessary.

The GOP-appointed SCOTUS Justices suck and suck badly
because they make rotten decisions,
not because they accept the hospitality of friends.

Bitching about the latter just reveals jealousy for not having well-heeled friends.

The courts and judges should not take money from people they might have to rule on. The court's reputation and image are important. The Supremes image is particularly important. These guys on the right do not care.
