Conservative Leaders Blast Democrats for ‘Witch Hunt’ Against SCOTUS Justices ‘They Don’t Like’Hannah Bleau Knudsen 30 Nov 2023
Conservative leaders are blasting Democrats for taking an unprecedented step by voting to subpoena private citizens as part of their overarching effort of “reverse court-packing,” targeting Supreme Court justices they “don’t like.”
The vote occurred on Thursday as Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee made history, opting to subpoena Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo, friends of conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. This might mark the first time the committee has voted to subpoena a private citizen detached from legislative debate, doing so as part of their overarching effort to target conservative justices:

Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) have led the effort, and as Breitbart News reported, they are hoping to access 25 years of travel and financial records. However, these subpoenas come although the Senate Judiciary Committee has already voted a SCOTUS ethics code bill out of committee. Therefore, the committee’s legislative work is essentially finished, and there is no need for additional documents.
Additionally, it is unconstitutional for Congress to impose ethics codes on the Supreme Court, as they are separate, coequal branches of government under the Constitution. Essentially, Democrats are attempting to disqualify conservative justices from key cases, which would result in leftist rulings.
