Reproductive Freedom for All Responds to Senate Judiciary Subpoenas in Justice Thomas Ethics Scandal
Washington, DC — Today, the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary, chaired by Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), voted to issue subpoenas for Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo related to the Committee’s Supreme Court ethics investigation. This update comes after Reproductive Freedom for All’s September call for Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’ resignation, a demand instigated by the deluge of revelations on Justice Thomas bending to the influence of billionaire GOP mega-donors who have lined his pockets and treated his family to luxuries.
Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju released the following statement:
“As yet another consequential Supreme Court term moves forward, holding Justice Thomas and his billionaire cronies accountable is more important now than ever. To restore faith in the Court, we reiterate today that Thomas must resign and that the Senate must continue to investigate these serious allegations. We are thankful to Whip Durbin, Senator Whitehouse, and Senate Democrats for their leadership in investigating these clear violations of the American people’s trust.”
