Rep. Jamie Raskin and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacked the current ethics standards at the Supreme Court amid media scrutiny of Justices Thomas and Alito.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., attacked the current ethics standards at the Supreme Court amid media scrutiny of Justices Thomas and Alito, among others, for receiving gifts during their service. 'It's the highest court in the land with the lowest ethical standards,' Raskin told MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes in an interview on Tuesday.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has acknowledged previously unreported trips overseas that were paid for by his friend, conservative businessman Harlan Crow, after pressure from the media and members of Congress over his ethics have increased. Alito has also faced media scrutiny and is being accused of impropriety by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
