Senator Durbin: Clarence Thomas Scandals Continue to Escalate.
TL;DR
Senator Dick Durbin has criticized Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' relationship with GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow, calling it "a tangled web" of ethics concerns that "just gets worse." Durbin has called on Chief Justice John Roberts to introduce a code of conduct for the Court that would hold the justices "to at least the minimum standards that apply to all other federal judges." The laundry list of reports has raised significant concerns for many that Crow was working to influence Thomas' decisions on the Court.
