Explosive Clarence Thomas report reignites Supreme Court fight

An explosive ProPublica investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' ties to a billionaire GOP donor has triggered a furious response from Democrats, sparking calls for resignation, impeachment and sweeping reforms to the nation's highest court. Not every Democrat is prepared to back impeachment — underscoring some divisions within the party about how far to go in responding to the revelations. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.), another Judiciary Committee member, told Axios: “I don’t know that I’m there yet." 

With Republicans in control of the House, any congressional action against the conservative jurist is likely to fall flat. "Based on what I've seen so far from my House Republican colleagues, I think they're going to close their eyes, cover their ears and hope this goes away soon," Ivey told Axios.
