"Mr. Leo has played a central role in the ethics crisis plaguing the Supreme Court and, unlike the other recipients of information requests in this matter, he has done nothing but stonewall the committee," Durbin said in a statement to CNN.

"This subpoena is a direct result of Mr. Leo's own actions and choices."

It's funny how Leo, the architect of this rwing SC and Citizens United... and the Godfather of Dark Money... takes the Trump tact of accusing others of what he does.

His reason for rejecting the Subpoena? It's backed by, "dark money"!

His real reason is that it would take 60 Sen votes to make him testify, and he personally owns enough Republican Sens to never have to do so.

There's not ethics controversy for Thomas, Alito, Comey, Kavanaugh.

They simply have none.
