The Senate Judiciary Committee was split along party lines when it came to passing the Democrat-backed Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2023—but an amendment condemning racist attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas has been added with unanimous support.

The 21-0 vote came after a long discussion.
