I am a huge fan of home remodeling shows on HGTV. My all time favorite is The Property Brothers, hosted by twin brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott. Drew helps you buy and sell, and Jonathan can turn any house into a dream home. 

The Property Brothers was the first thing I thought of when I read Politico’s story last week about Neil Gorsuch. It revealed that, a mere nine days after the justice was appointed to the bench, he sold a 40 acre plot of land to an executive that has tons of business before the Court. The Politico story came in the wake of Clarence Thomas’s home renovation scandal.

So without further ado: meet the new Property Brothers, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

Having one justice failing to disclose their real estate dealings with multi-millionaires splashed across the headlines is bad. But two? In less than a month? This is a pattern.

The Senate Judiciary is holding a hearing today about instituting a code of ethics for the Supreme Court. Send a pre-written email to your senators about why justices with a lifetime appointment need to be held to the highest of standards, not making big bucks from secret real estate deals with people who have business before the Court.

Clarence Thomas would definitely be the Jonathan of Property Brothers. Need something renovated? He’ll just call up his good friend Harlan Crow, a Republican megadonor who bought and renovated Thomas’s mother’s home. 

Neil Gorsuch would be our Drew. Trying to sell your home? Take a note from Gorsuch, who had been trying to sell a property for about two years, then joined the Supreme Court, and a mere nine days later was able to sell his real estate—to the head of a law firm that regularly has cases before the Court. 

In all seriousness: the American people deserve better than this. If we can’t trust them to make the right call on whether or not to disclose making hundreds of thousands of dollars on a deal with someone with business before the Court, then how can we trust their judgment on anything?

Email your senators now and urge them to investigate justices’ wrongdoing and pass a Supreme Court code of ethics.

Thanks for all you do.
