GOP uneasy over Thomas's ethics issues and finances.

Reports of Justice Clarence Thomas accepting hospitality and luxury travel from a conservative donor have caused unease among some Republican senators, who believe it could fuel bipartisan support for a Supreme Court ethics reform bill. The 1978 Ethics in Government Act requires high-level government officials, including Supreme Court justices, to file publicly available financial disclosure statements. Democrats on Capitol Hill are calling on Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate the matter and the Senate Judiciary Committee is planning to hold a hearing about the high court’s ethical standards.
