Schumer did not mention the justices by name but made clear reference to them after ProPublica revealed in a series of articles this year that Thomas and Alito accepted luxury gifts from major conservative donors, without disclosing them publicly.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Sunday called out conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for accepting “lavish gifts and vacations from their powerful, billionaire friends.”
“This MAGA-captured Supreme Court feels free to accept lavish gifts and vacations from their powerful, billionaire friends. And these are no ordinary billionaires—they are ideological extremists who bankroll hard-right MAGA causes and then bring those cases before the same Justices they’ve patronized,” Schumer wrote in a “Dear Colleague” letter circulated publicly Sunday.
“Congress has clear authority to oversee the federal judiciary, and we must explore every option for restoring faith in our courts,” he said.
