John Cornyn and Ted Cruz walk out of U.S. Senate hearing as Democrats vote on Harlan Crow subpoena
- Senate Judiciary Committee authorizes subpoenas for private citizen Ed Crow and Leonard Leo, chair of the board of the Federalist Society, following allegations of lavish gifts to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
- Republicans, including Senator Cornyn, object to the vote, claiming there was no quorum and that committees cannot exceed two hours during Senate session without permission.
- Crow has donated to conservative causes and candidates, including Cornyn and Cruz. Democrats argue the subpoenas are part of Congress' constitutional oversight duty and call for stricter ethics rules for the Supreme Court.
