A nearly two-year investigation by Democratic senators into Supreme Court ethics revealed Justice Clarence Thomas’s extensive undisclosed luxury travel, urging Congress to enforce a new code of conduct. The report, highlighting additional trips in 2021 funded by billionaire Harlan Crow, found Thomas has accepted over $4.75 million in gifts since his 1991 confirmation. As public trust in the Court declines, the Democratic chair, Sen. Dick Durbin, advocates for an enforceable ethics code. With Republicans set to control the Senate, the prospects for reform appear bleak. The report also mentions scrutiny of other justices, including Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor.
