Calls for Ethics Reform in Response to Justice Thomas' Luxury Trips

TL;DR Summary
Lawmakers are calling for tighter ethics rules for the Supreme Court after an investigation by ProPublica revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury trips almost every year for 20 years from a conservative donor and real estate billionaire, Harlan Crow, without disclosing them. The disclosure has renewed scrutiny on Justice Thomas, who has long faced questions over conflicts of interest in part because of the political activities of his wife, Virginia Thomas. Activists pushing for reforms to the Supreme Court demanded more structural changes to the court.
