The Ethics Controversy Surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas.
TL;DR
Senator Dick Durbin expressed his embarrassment over the "tangled web" surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is facing criticism over his financial disclosures. Thomas has been criticized for accepting luxury trips and not reporting them on financial disclosure forms. Durbin called on Chief Justice John Roberts to make ethics reforms on the nation's highest court. The Senate Judiciary Committee, which Durbin chairs, held a hearing last week on ethics reforms for the court.
