Mike Pence condemns ‘appalling’ attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas -
Mr. Pence, who is weighing a 2024 White House bid, said Justice Thomas has been “maliciously attacked by the left, including then Sen. Joe Biden,” since he was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1991.Senate Democrats are examining new ethics rules, and some have called for Justice Thomas to step down, amid news reports he was gifted lavish vacations and other benefits from Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, has called on the Justice Department to investigate Mr. Thomas and several House Democrats have called for his resignation.The stories have generated a new round of protests in front of the houses of several justices, prompting safety concerns and raising legal questions.
“This is a criminal threat to the safety of the Supreme Court,” Mr. Lee said. “Why are U.S. Marshals being instructed not to make arrests?”
