John –
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife have accepted luxury vacations for 20 years from billionaire megadonors Harlan and Kathy Crow, including lavish private jet trips, yacht rides, and stays at luxury resorts – all of which Thomas failed to report as required. Now we also know Crow bought property from Thomas for more than $100,000, meaning his money flowed directly to the Supreme Court justice and his family.
Thomas did not disclose the gifts from Crow, or the fact that he sold property to Crow. That is simply unacceptable, and today we filed a complaint against Thomas for these blatant ethical violations – some of which may be crimes.
Justice Thomas’s acceptance of and failure to disclose these repeated, lavish gifts and shocking real estate sales not only undermines public trust in his ability to serve impartially on the Court, it undermines confidence in the Supreme Court as an institution.

We cannot overstate what a scandal this is for the Supreme Court. Clarence Thomas is living proof of the urgent need for stronger ethics rules.
While we push for meaningful judicial ethics reform, Thomas must not be allowed to get away with this blatant corruption.
When powerful people can buy access and support on important matters before the court, the public – and our democracy – suffer. That’s why we filed this complaint against Clarence Thomas today.
The highest court in the land should also have the highest ethical standards. We’ll keep fighting to make that a reality.
Thanks for your support,
Noah Bookbinder
