The U.S. Judicial Conference has ruled against referring allegations of ethics violations against Justices Clarence Thomas and Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Justice Department. This decision follows requests from Democratic senators for investigations into their financial disclosures. Thomas has agreed to updated disclosure requirements, while Jackson has amended her previous disclosures concerning her husband's income. Despite the adoption of a new code of ethics by the Supreme Court, critics argue that it lacks enforcement mechanisms and advocate for a more transparent investigative process for justices.
