Senate Judiciary Committee Calls on Chief Justice Roberts to Testify About Supreme Court Ethics Reform Amid Scrutiny of Justice Clarence Thomas

Democrats are calling on Chief Justice John Roberts to get involved in scrutinizing the luxury trips Justice Clarence Thomas took with a GOP donor that were not reported.
Senator Dick Durbin invited Chief Justice Roberts to testify at a Senate hearing about ethics reform for the Supreme Court.
The controversy stems from recent reporting that revealed Thomas's close ties to a wealthy Republican donor and real estate magnate.
While Thomas says the trips were taken with close personal friends and did not need to be disclosed, Democrats disagree and say it constitutes misconduct.
The Supreme Court currently has no binding code of ethics, and Democrats support legislation to impose one to restore public confidence in the institution.
