Senate Judiciary Committee Postpones Subpoena Vote in Supreme Court Ethics Probe
Despite delays and opposition, Democrats vow to continue efforts to subpoena conservative influencers and implement enforceable conduct code for justices.
- Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have twice postponed a vote to subpoena conservative influencers Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo as part of their investigation into Supreme Court ethics.
- The delays have been attributed to scheduling issues and Republican opposition, with the most recent cancellation occurring due to the Senate voting on a stopgap bill to avert a government shutdown.
- Fourteen national organizations have issued a joint statement urging the Committee to move forward with the subpoenas, citing concerns about potential corruption on the Supreme Court.
- The Supreme Court recently adopted an ethics code, but it has been criticized for lacking an enforcement mechanism.
- Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have expressed their commitment to continue pursuing the subpoenas and implementing an enforceable code of conduct for Supreme Court justices.
