Washington, May 5 (RHC)-- The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform amid a mounting series of scandals among justices.  

In recent weeks, it’s been revealed that Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a property he co-owned to the head of a major law firm that has since had 22 cases before the Supreme Court. 

And ProPublica reports Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose gifts and payments from Texas billionaire and conservative activist Harlan Crow. 

In the latest revelations, Business Insider reports the wife of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was paid $10.3 million in commissions as a job recruiter placing lawyers at elite law firms.   Jane Sullivan Roberts earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from one law firm that argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts.
