You might think that investigation of corruption of Supreme Court justices would be a bipartisan thing -- but you'd be wrong. More proof that Republicans are wrong on everything.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) confirmed Thursday that the committee will vote next week to authorize subpoenas for a few powerful right-wing players known to have intimate, monetary relationships with Supreme Court justices.
The committee plans to authorize subpoenas next Thursday for Federalist Society founder Leonard Leo and mega-donors Harlan Crow and Robin Arkley II. The vote will almost certainly come down along party lines, as Senate Judiciary Republicans railed against the plan during a Thursday business meeting.
After the recent revelations of obvious corruption by Justices Thomas and Scalito accepting bribes gifts (undeclared for tax purposes), Republicans are going to the wall to defend them, claiming the investigations are political attacks because the justices implicated are conservative.
