The Senate Judiciary Committee has called on Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Justice Clarence Thomas for failing to disclose 20 years' worth of lavish gifts and luxury travel from a GOP megadonor. The Committee, chaired by Dick Durbin, is also planning to hold a hearing on the need to restore public confidence in the Supreme Court. The ProPublica report revealed that Thomas had failed to disclose the gifts and trips as required by law, sparking the latest development in a long-running controversy surrounding the Supreme Court's ethics standards.
