Senate Committee Authorizes Subpoenas of Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo as Part of Supreme Court Ethics Probe

But the ultimate fate of the subpoenas is uncertain. If Crow and Leo defy the information requests — which ask for a detailed accounting of gifts, transportation and lodging the two men provided or helped organize for Supreme Court justices and the justices’ relatives — Democrats would need a 60-vote majority to enforce the subpoenas. Currently, Democrats hold a one-vote advantage in Congress’ upper chamber.

Republicans have mounted fierce opposition to the inquiry into Crow and Leo, who have for months refused to comply with the committee’s requests. The vote to issue the subpoenas fell along party lines, with all 11 of the Democrats voting in favor and most Republicans walking out of the hearing in protest as the vote was taken.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the Judiciary Committee chairman, said at Thursday’s hearing that the revelations reported by news organizations including ProPublica spurred the committee’s action to demand more information about people close to the justices.

And why would the Republican party want to look into the ethics of the Supreme Court which helps with their own lack of ethics?

I’m betting they’re not the only ones who wish this would go away.

It’s going to take the smallest to get under the reach of the invisible hand pushing away the world-be kicker.

I KNOW Republicans are going to do the RIGHT thing by their Constituents and make sure the HIGHEST Court in the land is being Ethical and Fair to EVERYONE! And if they don’t I KNOW their Constituents will Vote them OUT for people who ACTUALLY want to Protect them!

LoL!
