Calls for Supreme Court Ethics Reform Ignored by Chief Justice Roberts.

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have written a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts asking him to clarify the ethics principles guiding the Supreme Court. The senators listed several questions they want Roberts to answer by Monday, including when justices subscribed to the Statement on Ethics Principles and Practice and if they previously followed a different version. The exchange comes after recent reports about Justice Clarence Thomas not disclosing gifts and trips from a wealthy GOP donor and the sale of properties from Thomas’ family to the same donor.
