Hi,

Yes, there’s another Clarence Thomas scandal to add to the growing, alarming list.

GOP mega-donor Harlan Crow reportedly closed a sweet real estate deal with Thomas back in 2014, and Thomas never disclosed it. Crow bought three properties in Georgia from Thomas and his family for $133,363. Then, Crow spent tens of thousands of dollars to upgrade Thomas’ mother’s home.1

This comes on the heels of news that, for two decades, Thomas reportedly accepted luxury trips virtually every year from billionaire Crow without disclosing them.2 The undisclosed luxury trips and real estate deal break the law, according to experts.3,4 If Congress doesn’t hold Thomas accountable, no one will — and he’ll serve on the nation’s highest court for the rest of his life.

Sign the petition to Congress: Impeach Clarence Thomas!

It’s unclear if Crow paid the Thomas family above market value for the properties BUT Crow bought several other properties on the street and paid significantly less than his deal with the Thomases.5

When we talk about Clarence Thomas ethics issues, we’re not talking about minor, isolated incidents. To describe Thomas’s string of behaviors that likely broke the law, experts and retired judges have used words like INCOMPREHENSIBLE, HIDING, VIOLATION, and CORRODES PUBLIC TRUST.6,7

Clarence Thomas doesn’t belong on the Supreme Court. The myriad of ethics scandals speak for themselves. Including Thomas’ refusal to recuse himself from cases involving Trump and the 2020 election even after his wife, Ginni Thomas, was found to have connections with attempts to overturn election results.8

The Supreme Court should be free of ethics concerns. And Clarence Thomas has a mountain of ethics problems surrounding him. It’s time to impeach.

Urge Congress to Impeach Clarence Thomas!

Thanks for taking action,
