[ [link removed] ]Add your name: Corrupt Clarence Thomas has no place on the Supreme
Court. He must resign or be impeached!

Dear MoveOn member,

BREAKING NEWS: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas sold property to
right-wing megadonor Harlan Crow—and never disclosed this transaction. A
new report shows Thomas's signature on the sale, yet he never reported
this in his financial disclosures.^1
 
It gets even more unbelievable and outrageous: Thomas's mother still lives
in the house Thomas sold to Crow.^2 That's right: the mother of a Supreme
Court justice lives in a home owned by a billionaire right-wing activist
who has long lavished Thomas with gifts while also supporting causes at
the heart of cases heard by the court. 
 
This comes after the blockbuster report that Thomas has accepted gifts
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in value from Crow over the
years—and never once listed these in his regular financial
disclosures.^3 All of this simply adds to what we know about the corrupt
and compromised history of this unfit Supreme Court justice.
 
We already knew that Thomas has abused his position—from refusing to
recuse himself from cases regarding his wife's involvement in the attempt
to overturn the 2020 election to crusading on behalf of his right-wing
allies to overturn abortion access and so much more. [ [link removed] ]That's why 1.2
million MoveOn members have already called for Thomas to resign or be
impeached.
 
After last week's report, Thomas claimed he was never advised to disclose
the gifts.^4 Yesterday's revelations of his business dealings add another
level of deceit, mendacity, and abuse. Meanwhile, Thomas intends to
continue to hear cases that directly conflict with his personal and
business interests, to the shame of a court that has already lost its
credibility in the eyes of the American people.
 
It's time for elected officials to speak out and take action: [ [link removed] ]Justice
Clarence Thomas must resign from the Supreme Court immediately or else be
impeached.

Clarence Thomas should resign immediately or else be impeached.

Last year, it became clear that Ginni Thomas had been actively urging the
White House to overturn election results, both leading up to January 6 and
after the deadly insurrection.^5
 
Clarence Thomas's failure to recuse himself warrants immediate
investigation and heightened alarm. And it's only the latest in a long
history of conflicts of interest in the service of a right-wing agenda and
of mixing his powerful role with his conservative political activism. He
has shown he cannot be an impartial justice and is more concerned with
covering up his wife's coup attempts than the health of the Supreme Court.
 
He uses his position on the Supreme Court to pursue right-wing
crusades—joining the ruling that overturned Roe and stripped away abortion
rights; writing the decision to undermine sensible gun laws; targeting
LGBTQ+ equality and workers' rights; and more.
 
And while he carries this right-wing agenda, he accepts hundreds of
thousands of dollars in gifts from a right-wing megadonor.
 
Ever since his confirmation hearings more than 30 years ago, the public
has questioned Thomas's ethics and behavior. His abuse of power, his
conflicts of interest, and his secrecy about his financial and political
ties make him unfit to serve.
 
Eventually, we need to expand and rebalance the court, to pull it back
from the right-wing takeover enabled by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell's
court-packing efforts. And we need a real, enforceable code of ethics for
all justices.
 
For now, it's clear: Thomas must go.
