Conservative activist refuses to provide details on Supreme Court justices' travel and gifts to Senate Democrats citing 'political retaliation'

Leonard Leo rejects Senate Judiciary Committee request for information on his interactions with Justice Samuel Alito and other conservative justices.
Leo's lawyer argues the inquiry lacks legislative purpose, violates the Bill of Rights, and constitutes retaliation for justices' conservative rulings.
Democrats aim to create Supreme Court ethical guidelines but Leo's lawyer cites examples of liberal justices' lavish trips and undisclosed funds.
Leo calls the probe one-sided for focusing on Republican-appointed justices and ignoring allegations against liberals.
His lawyer argues individuals tied to liberal justices have not faced similar scrutiny from the Committee.
