Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Dick Durbin, has changed its plan to subpoena Robin Arkley II in the ethics investigation into Supreme Court justices. Durbin stated that Arkley provided previously withheld information. Instead, the committee is now seeking subpoenas for Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo, and other influential conservatives with ties to the Supreme Court. The investigation is focused on alleged ethics lapses and undisclosed largesse directed to some conservative justices. The committee postponed a vote on authorizing subpoenas due to Republican members filing numerous amendments.
