Senate Committee to Subpoena Supreme Court Justices’ Conservative Benefactors 

WASHINGTON—The Senate Judiciary Committee approved subpoenas for two conservative power brokers who have helped provide luxury travel for two Supreme Court justices, as majority Democrats said they would press ahead with their ethics investigation of the court despite the code of conduct the justices issued in November. 

“Today’s vote to issue subpoenas to Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo—two individuals who have refused to comply with this committee’s legitimate oversight requests for months and are at the center of the Supreme Court’s ethical crisis—furthers that goal,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), the committee chairman, said after the vote Thursday.
