Democrats have been highly critical of the court for failing to adopt an ethics code, after reports of undisclosed paid trips taken by Justice Clarence Thomas and once by Alito
Justice Samuel Alito on Friday rejected demands from Senate Democrats that he step aside from an upcoming Supreme Court case because of his interactions with one of the lawyers, in a fresh demonstration of tensions over ethical issues.
Last month, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and other Democrats on the committee sent a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts calling on Alito to not participate in a tax case that will be argued in the late fall. Durbin said in a statement that Alito “surprises no one by sitting on a case involving a lawyer who honoured him with a puff piece in the Wall Street Journal. Why do these Justices continue to take a wrecking ball to the reputation of the highest court in the land?”
