Durbin doubts Clarence Thomas would have cooperated with ethics probe

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he invited Chief Justice John Roberts to testify to Congress about the Supreme Court's ethical standards because Justice Clarence Thomas would have "ignored" such an invitation. The court has come under scrutiny after a ProPublica report found that a Republican mega-donor paid for Thomas to take part in various luxury vacations over two decades without disclosing them. Durbin has set plans to hold a hearing on May 2 on ethical standards for the Supreme Court and has asked Roberts to testify voluntarily.
