Democratic lawmakers are calling out Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomasafter new revelations from ProPublica that he’s taken at least 38 luxury trips paid for by wealthy benefactors.
Some say the case illustrates the need for ethics reform on the Supreme Court.
“This is a shameless lifestyle underwritten for years by a gaggle of fawning billionaires,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) wrote on Twitter. “Justices Thomas and [Samuel] Alito have made it clear that they’re oblivious to the embarrassment they’ve visited on the highest court in the land.”
