Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's transparency gaps were brought up during a hearing on high court ethics reform by SenJohnKennedy, who asked why the Democrats didn't levy the same scrutiny against her as they did with Justice Clarence Thomas.
Kennedy's questions came during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on ethics after reports revealed Thomas failed to disclose paid trips he went on with wealthy GOP donor Harlan Crow. Democrats have called on Congress to impose ethics rules, while Republicans largely say the justices are capable of governing themselves."Justice Jackson made multiple amendments three days after President Biden nominated her. Not one senator brought that up during her confirmation hearings.
— Townhall.com May 2, 2023 Kennedy then blasted the news reports surrounding Thomas, saying that"some Democrats and their media allies" have"attempted hit pieces" on the longest-serving sitting justice and his Republican-appointed colleagues. "This is untenable," committee Chairman Dick Durbin said Tuesday."Ethics cannot simply be left to the discretion of the nation's highest court. The court should have a code of conduct with clear and enforceable rules."
