Fifty House Democrats on Wednesday called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from an upcoming case, citing his connections to libertarian billionaires Charles and David Koch.
Citing a ProPublica report that highlights the Republican appointee's connections to the Koch network, the group said there was no question that Thomas' "lengthy relationship with the Kochs, including [his] participation in donor retreats for the Koch network, requires recusal in the upcoming case that the Koch network has teed up in an attempt to overturn Chevron."
The report, which said Thomas secretly participated in Koch network donor events and accepted gifts and trips he didn't disclose on federal forms, renewed questions about the justice's ethics practices, especially since the Koch network has brought several cases before the Supreme Court.
