SenateDems Please expose Thomas & any other (Alito) corrupt, ‘political,’ bought justice. Also look into CJ Roberts’ role-what the hell is the responsibility of “Chief” Justice? Only after a deep investigation can Congress determine what SCOTUS legislation may be necessary.

Can you count on any single part of the government to reform itself? Hell no. The high bench should be held to the same standards as the rest of the federal government, and be held accountable when they break those rules.

“Explosive” lol. Typical Acios wishful thinking. He was completely legal. How about a Senate committee to release the Epstein guest list?

Imagine what could be accomplished if we had two ethically functioning parties. Not judgmental... ethical. Thank you Democrats.

As they should. scotus

Good

Just another partisan 'witch hunt'...politicians, especially in today's environment, are inherently void of having ethics themselves.

Good!

Hopefully, they'll investigate Kavanaugh's ethics surrounding who paid off his debts and mortgage and bought themselves a SCOTUS seat.

DickDurbin DO SOMETHING

Sadly, Justice Thomas’ behaviors and those of his spouse haven’t always nurtured the objectivity and integrity expected from the SCOTUS.

Why aren't they looking into the Biden family? A little more important don't ya think

Easy distraction from the restrict Act well played
