A pathetic end to a Democratic attack on the judiciary

Senate Democrats were so proud of the results from their 20-monthlong “investigation” into what they wanted everyone to believe was an “ethical crisis” at the Supreme Court that they buried their report on its findings by making it public on the Friday afternoon before Christmas. Thus, it made as little news as they could have hoped, for it’s an utterly thin document that is so flimsy it’s embarrassing for all connected to it.
The reality is that Senate Democrats have not investigated an ethical crisis at the Supreme Court so much as they have been trying to manufacture a scandal that does not bear scrutiny. As the results of the election this past November showed, Senate Democrats failed miserably.
For over 90 pages, the Judiciary Committee report details plane trips taken, books sold, and flags flown by justices from the Left and Right, but not once does the report come close to identifying an instance of a party with business before the Supreme Court influencing a justice’s decision.
“Now more than ever before, as a result of information gathered by subpoenas, we know the extent to which the Supreme Court is mired in an ethical crisis of its own making,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) said in a statement. “It’s clear that the justices are losing the trust of the American people at the hands of a gaggle of fawning billionaires.” He’s right that “we know the extent” to which the court is mired, and the extent is not at all.
