"The Judicial Conference, which binds lower courts, does not supervise the Supreme Court."

The Supreme Court Justices sent a unanimous 9-0 letter addressed to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday which slammed democratic legislators over their ethics complaints about Justice Clarence Thomas.
In a rare move from the High Court, the joint-statement was released following the Senate Judiciary Committee's requests to propose new legislation on ethics which would allow congress to have independent oversight, instead of a general code of conduct for Justices on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee want to see Justice Clarence Thomas, along with Justice Neil Gorsuch, testify before congress over an alleged ethics "scandal" involving unreported gifts and financial earnings. Justice Thomas has since denied any wrongdoing, and critics of the proposal say that democratic legislators are targeting Thomas and Gorsuch in a politically-motivated witchhunt because of their investments with conservatives, ABC 11
