Democrats attack conservative Supreme Court justices but have long ignored liberal justices' ethical issues
Fox News
Democrats have targeted conservative Supreme Court Clarence Thomas over recent ethical concerns but have remained silent on potential liberal justices' issues in the past.
The revelations led to Democratic attacks against the Supreme Court and Thomas. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin said Thomas' relationship with Crow is a "conflict of interest" given Crow's status as a GOP donor. Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse called for a Justice Department investigation. Joe Schoffstall is a politics producer/reporter for Fox News Digital.

"It would be best for the Chief Justice to commence a proper investigation, but after a week of silence from the Court and this latest disturbing reporting, I'm urging the Judicial Conference to step in and refer Justice Thomas to the Attorney General for investigation," Whitehouse said in a mid-April statement.
