Democrats have threatened to subpoena wealthy individuals who donate money to Supreme Court justices if the Senate does not agree to establish a select committee to study potential conflicts of interest.
The subpoenas would be used to examine the connections between wealthy donors and Supreme Court justices, and the implications such donations have on how justices decide cases.
Democrats have argued that undisclosed donations from wealthy individuals to justices create a conflict of interest, as it may raise questions about impartiality.
While the subpoenaing of wealthy benefactors is still an uncertain possibility, Democrats have made it clear that they are prepared to exercise their constitutional powers to investigate these conflicts should the Republican majority refuse to do so.
