Senate Judiciary Committee Holds A Hearing Examining Supreme Court Ethics Reform

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 02: A video from Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas' 1991 confirmation is played during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where witnesses, including former U.S. District Judge for the Northern District of California Jeremy Fogel (R), testified about Supreme Court ethics reform in the Hart Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on May 02, 2023 in Washington, DC. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. was invited but declined to testify before the committee, which is holding the hearing after a recent ProPublica investigation revealed that Associate Justice Clarance Thomas had accepted numerous luxury vacations for years from a billionaire Texas Republican real estate developer and, in a separate matter, Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch did not reveal that a property he sold in Colorado was purchased by an executive at a law firm that frequently has business before the court.
