Also: Read this very interesting story in ProPublica about billionaire Harlan Crow buying Justice Clarence Thomas’ family home in South Carolina. Thomas never disclosed the 2014 transaction on his financial disclosure form as required.
Sen. Sheldon Whiteouse (D-R.I.) – a frequent Supreme Court critic – is calling on the Judicial Conference to refer Thomas to Attorney General Merrick Garland for a possible ethics probe. Or Whitehouse wants Chief Justice John Roberts to look into Thomas’ dealings with Crow, a GOP mega donor.
Democrats aren’t going to let this matter just go away, especially inside the Senate Judiciary Committee.
