BREAKING NEWS -- Insider reports:

Jane Roberts, who is married to Chief Justice John Roberts, made $10.3 million in commissions from elite law firms, whistleblower documents show.

At least one of those firms argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts after paying his wife hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to the report from Insider. Roberts did not recuse himself -- and voted in favor of that law firm’s client.

Earlier this week, Roberts REFUSED a request from senators to testify about the future of ethics and the Supreme Court.

SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS: This Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis. The U.S. Senate must launch a full investigation into Supreme Court corruption and take steps to pass legislation requiring strong ethics for our Supreme Court.

The whistleblower told Insider in an interview, "I realized that even the law firms who were Jane's clients had nowhere to go. They were being asked by the spouse of the chief justice for business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there was no one to complain to. Most of these firms were likely appearing or seeking to appear before the Supreme Court. It's natural that they'd do anything they felt was necessary to be competitive."

If you are keeping score of the ethics and undue influence allegations at home:

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted millions of dollars of luxury travel and accommodations from conservative billionaire Harlan Crow -- and didn’t disclose it. Crow also bought Thomas’s mother's house without disclosing it.

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and his business partners sold a multi-million dollar property to a rich lawyer whose firm frequently has cases before the Supreme Court, just 9 days after he was sworn in -- and Gorsuch appears to have failed to properly report it.

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was the subject of a long-term influence campaign orchestrated by a right-wing activist and a network of wealthy donors that allegedly resulted in, among other things, one of the donors being told in advance about an upcoming Supreme Court decision.

Supreme Court Justices do not live by the same ethics rules as other federal judges. Meaning, if a judge gets elevated to the highest court in the land, the ethical standards they’re held to go down.

SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS: The U.S. Senate must launch a full investigation into Supreme Court corruption and take steps to pass legislation requiring strong ethics for our Supreme Court.
