thehill.com/homenews/senate/4589615-senate-democrats-issue-subpoena-in-supreme-court-ethics-probe/
Quick Glance: Investigation into Gifts to Supreme Court Justices: Leo Refuses Senate Subpoena
- As part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo on Thursday, which he promptly rejected as “politically motivated.”
- Following reports that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. accepted free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo, and conservative donor Robin Arkley II without disclosure, the committee voted to authorize subpoenas for Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow along party lines.
- Democrats on the committee initiated an investigation into the justices' relationships with private benefactors after ProPublica's April report last year revealed Thomas' failure to disclose free luxury vacations and private jet travel from Crow over many years, and Leo's arrangement of a luxury fishing trip for Alito in 2008.
- With Leo's rejection, Democrats would need to hold a Senate vote to seek court enforcement of the subpoena - a nearly impossible task in a narrowly divided chamber requiring 60 votes to break a filibuster.

Quick Glance: Overcoming Hamas Challenge Amid Israel's Approach to Victory
- Despite the Israeli prime minister's assertion of being on the brink of defeating Hamas, indications suggest the cruel terror group will emerge undefeated.

- Hamas stands as a sophisticated underground organization - in the most literal and metaphorical sense.
- Israel's failure to devise a post-war strategic plan for governing Gaza echoes the missteps of the Americans in Baghdad in 2003.
