The chair of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee announced yesterday that the committee will hold a hearing on ethical issues recently in the news with regard to Justice Clarence Thomas. In a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, urged the court “to immediately open … an investigation and take all needed action to prevent further misconduct.” He also said that if the court does not resolve the issue, the committee will consider legislation to resolve it.
