John,

It’s no secret that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of impartiality, with close ties to conservative organizations and wealthy donors, and when paired with his wife's involvement in right-wing activism and lobbying, it only underscores his clear conflicts of interest even more.

Now, news of Justice Clarence Thomas' prolonged concealment of extravagant trips, financed by a prominent GOP donor, is highly troubling as it brings to light the possibility of undue influence on his judicial rulings -- a potential violation of federal law regarding gift disclosure, and further amplifies existing concerns of compromised conduct.

These conflicts of interest are not mere technicalities. They strike at the very heart of our justice system, which depends on the trust and impartiality of its judges. When a judge fails to recuse themselves from a case where they have a conflict of interest, they risk undermining the integrity of the entire legal process.

This is especially true in the case of a Supreme Court justice, whose decisions have far-reaching consequences for our country and its citizens. We cannot allow this situation to continue. We must demand accountability from our elected officials and take action to ensure that our justice system remains fair and impartial.

Sign the petition for the impeachment of Justice Clarence Thomas, whose conflicts of interest have compromised the integrity of the Supreme Court and eroded public trust in the judiciary.

In addition to the undisclosed gifts, Thomas has also failed to recuse himself from cases where he had obvious conflicts of interest for decades:

• In 2000, Justice Thomas' wife, Virginia Thomas, was working for the conservative Heritage Foundation, which had provided staff to assist then-Governor George W. Bush's presidential transition team. Despite this clear conflict of interest, Justice Thomas did not recuse himself from the case of Bush v. Gore, which involved a disputed election result in Florida that ultimately led to the Supreme Court awarding the presidency to Bush.

• In 2010, Justice Thomas failed to recuse himself from the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case, even though his wife had founded a conservative nonprofit organization that actively advocated against campaign finance reform, a major issue in the case.

• In 2011, Justice Thomas did not recuse himself from the case involving the Affordable Care Act, despite his wife's work as a lobbyist for organizations that opposed the healthcare reform law.

• In 2019, Justice Thomas did not recuse himself from a case involving a prominent donor to conservative causes, Charles Koch, despite his close ties to the donor and his organizations.

These instances of Justice Thomas failing to recuse himself in cases where he had obvious conflicts of interest have been well-documented and raise serious concerns about his ability to uphold the integrity and impartiality of the Supreme Court.

Join the movement calling for the impeachment of Justice Clarence Thomas, whose continued conflicts of interest, disregard for ethical standards, and compromised conduct have eroded public trust in the integrity of the Supreme Court.

Let's keep working together to ensure that our public officials are held to the highest standards of ethical conduct and that the integrity of our democracy is protected.
