Two Democratic senators sitting on the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee are requesting a meeting with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to address Justice Samuel Alito’s flag controversy.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) sent a joint letter asking to speak with the chief justice to ensure Alito recuses himself from cases surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot or former President Donald Trump’s claims that he won the 2020 election.

“We request a meeting with you as soon as possible, in your capacity as Chief Justice and as presiding officer of the Judicial Conference of the United States, to discuss additional steps to address the Supreme Court’s ethics crisis,” Durbin and Whitehouse wrote in their letter to Roberts.

“Until the Court and the Judicial Conference take meaningful action to address this ongoing ethical crisis, we will continue our efforts to enact legislation to resolve this crisis,” they added.
