Ethics Issues Surrounding Supreme Court Justices Spark Political Debate
Conservatives are criticizing liberal Supreme Court justices over ethics issues following reports of ties between Justice Clarence Thomas and a major Republican donor. Democrats have called for new ethics rules to be put in place for justices on the court. However, conservatives have declared their opposition to these efforts and called out what they view as hypocrisy from Democrats who did not denounce gifts and possible conflicts of interests that liberal justices have had. The Daily Wire reported instances in which Justice Sonia Sotomayor received money from book publisher Penguin Random House for her book but did not recuse herself from cases involving the publisher.
