Democrats to Subpoena Conservatives Linked to Supreme Court Justices; Louisiana Senator Kennedy Blasts Democrats for Prioritizing Supreme Court Probe Over National Issues; “Outrageous, Egregious, Racist” Attack on Justice Thomas

Democrats to subpoena conservatives linked to Supreme Court justices:

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats moved forward Thursday with plans to subpoena influential conservatives linked to Supreme Court justices in their quest to pass legislation imposing a code of ethics on the high court.

The vote is to occur likely on Nov. 9. It was originally set to take place Thursday, but the minority on the committee requested to hold the vote over a week, which is customary.

The Democrats, which hold a one-member majority on the committee, are poised to subpoena GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow, who’s a friend of Justice Clarence Thomas; Leonard Leo, who helped former President Donald Trump with his judicial nominations; and Robin Arkley II, who allegedly gifted trips to Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

“I am not requesting this authorization lightly,” said Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Durbin, Illinois Democrat.

He said the committee has sought the trio’s cooperation, but the response has been “insufficient,” with the three claiming the committee doesn’t have oversight powers.

“This committee cannot allow … the baseless arguments to thwart our constitutional duty,” the senator said.

Mr. Durbin said the committee needs information from the influential men to understand how people gain private access to Supreme Court justices.

Republicans on the committee, meanwhile, said Democrats are trying to attack the conservative-leaning Supreme Court.

The top Republican on the committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said the “world is on fire” but Democrats want to focus on the Supreme Court since they disagree with recent decisions.

“You’re spending more time trying to fix the Supreme Court than you are the border. Your policies across the board are not working,” he said. —>READ MORE HERE

Louisiana Senator Kennedy Blasts Democrats for Prioritizing Supreme Court Probe Over National Issues:

In a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) delivered a fiery critique of Democrats’ priorities and their relentless efforts to investigate the Supreme Court.

The Louisiana Republican Senator, known for his frank and colorful rhetoric, expressed his concerns on a range of issues in a manner that drew both attention and applause from his fellow lawmakers.

Senator Kennedy’s concerns extended beyond the scope of the Supreme Court probe. He voiced his worries about inflation affecting American families, describing it as “gutting our people like a fish.”

He also highlighted the challenges posed by an open border, stating, “Most Americans lock their front door at night, not because they hate everybody on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside.”

Senator Kennedy didn’t shy away from addressing the issues with the Affordable Care Act, saying, “Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, insurance premiums in America have tripled, and we’re not doing anything about it.” These criticisms reflect a growing discontent among Republicans regarding the healthcare system.

The senator also turned his attention to international affairs, emphasizing the geopolitical tensions and the coordinated actions of China, Russia, and Iran. —>READ MORE HERE
