Senate Judiciary Democrats announced they’ll vote on subpoenaing Republicans behind some of the latest Supreme Court ethics scandals. It’s good they’re finally moving toward that commonsense step to deal with the compliance refusals of conservative activist Leonard Leo and wealthy GOP donors Harlan Crow and Robin Arkley II. In doing so, the accountability move underscores how easily the justices could get the committee off their backs, according to the announcement on Monday.
Recall that, earlier this month, Donald Trump-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett said it would be a “good idea” if the court had a code. And though it’s unclear what’s holding one up, it wouldn’t be surprising if the justices at the center of these scandals — Clarence Thomas and, to a lesser extent, Samuel Alito — are playing a part. At any rate, if the court cobbles a code together, that mere fact shouldn’t end the ethics inquiries the committee has seen fit to raise.
