Clarence Thomas's Luxury Trips Paid for by GOP Megadonor Raises Ethics Concerns

Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury trips from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow for more than 20 years, according to a report by ProPublica. The report has reignited calls from Democrats for Congress to require the Supreme Court to adopt binding ethics rules. The lack of ethics rules for Supreme Court justices has been a topic of discussion for some time, and the report has prompted further criticism of Thomas. Democrats are pushing for legislative action on judicial ethics reform, including the creation of a code of conduct for Supreme Court justices.
