Luxury trips of Justice Clarence Thomas spark calls for Supreme Court reform.

Following a report that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted lavish trips from a Republican donor for over 20 years without disclosing them, President Joe Biden faces renewed scrutiny over his handling of Thomas' confirmation hearing in 1991, during which Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment. Biden, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time, has faced criticism for allowing Hill to be mistreated during the hearing. Thomas has faced multiple ethics controversies, including his wife's involvement in a campaign to overturn the 2020 election. The revelations about Thomas' trips have prompted calls for an overhaul of court ethics laws and requirements.
