Supreme Court Ethics Under Scrutiny Amid Congressional Standoff and Testimony Requests

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin's call for Chief Justice John Roberts to testify before Congress about the Supreme Court's ethical standards is sparking a firestorm on Capitol Hill as Republicans accuse the Democratic chairman of trying to ensnare court in a media "circus." Republicans say Durbin is trying to pressure Roberts to respond to reports by ProPublica that conservative Justice Clarence Thomas failed to properly disclose the gifts he received from a Texas billionaire, including private jet travel and the sale of a property in which Thomas owned a third interest.
