Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Thursday asked Chief Justice John Roberts to testify in Congress about the court’s ethical standards amid a controversy surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas.
Durbin vowed to hold a hearing on May 2 on ethical rules at the high court after a ProPublica investigation revealed that Thomas took various luxury trips over the years paid for by Harlan Crow, a Dallas-based real estate developer who has donated millions to conservative causes.
“The time has come for a new public conversation on ways to restore confidence in the Court’s ethical standards. I invite you to join it, and I look forward to your response,” Durbin wrote in a letter to Roberts on Thursday, also inviting him to designate another justice in his place.

The court’s ethical standards are none of Congress’ business.
Durbin the messenger boy for the holders of the CRAP they have on Roberts: “Time to deliver, Bush boy! We have all the receipts on you— Malta included”.
Ethics?
HA!
Those two words should never be used in the same sentence.
WTH has he done that’s IMPEACHABLE?????
Our forefathers were concerned when they left the table...because there was no check on the courts.
Dirtbag Durbin probably leaning on dirtbag Roberts with some secrets they’ve been holding over his head from day1.
Anything to get to a decent man, and conservative.
Did I say I can’t stand demoRATS!
They do not have oversite on the supreme court. It is none of their business what the court uses for their own standards.
It’s racist to go after the black man on the Supreme Court!
The Rats need to change the subject so they’re going after Thomas...knowing that he’d never be “convicted” by the Senate.
However, lower federal court judges should be hauled in front of judiciary committees to explain outrageous decisions.
Republicans need to get some balls, and watch and learn.
