SCOTUS inquiry 'certainly should be on the table.'

[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS: Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin must
launch a full investigation -- including subpoenas -- into Supreme Court
corruption.

The Hill reports that over 135,000 people have signed our petition for the
Senate to conduct a full investigation into Supreme Court corruption.

Now, Sen. Richard Blumenthal tells NBC News that with Sen. Dianne
Feinstein's return to the Senate this week, subpoenas for Republican
billionaire Harlan Crow and other witnesses should be "on the table."

This is a big deal. Chief Justice John Roberts and Harlan Crow both
dismissed polite requests from Senate Committees.

With Feinstein being the last vote needed, it's time for Senate Judiciary
Committee Chair Dick Durbin to go beyond polite requests and issue
subpoenas. Every day Clarence Thomas remains on the Court, it loses
legitimacy. It’s time for Sen. Durbin to turn up the heat.

[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION TO CONGRESS: This Supreme Court is increasingly
facing a legitimacy crisis. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin must launch
a full investigation -- including subpoenas -- into Supreme Court
corruption and take steps to pass legislation requiring strong ethics for
our Supreme Court.

Because subpoenas couldn't be issued without Feinstein’s vote, the first
hearing had no big witnesses.

The Senate MUST get to the truth about the myriad of shocking corruption
and bribery allegations this Supreme Court has spawned:

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted millions of
dollars of luxury travel and accommodations from conservative billionaire
Harlan Crow. Crow also bought Thomas’ mother's house and paid private
school tuition for Clarence Thomas' grandnephew. None of it was reported
on Thomas' financial disclosure forms. His wife, Ginni Thomas, was
secretly paid tens of thousands of dollars by a political-advocacy group
with business before the Court.

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 Chief Justice John Roberts' wife was paid over
$10 million in commissions from elite law firms. At least one of those
firms argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts after paying his wife
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Roberts did not recuse himself -- and
voted in favor of that law firm’s client.

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.

We are sharing support for this position with the media, the White House,
and key allies in Congress and letting them know that the public is
outraged and believes that every day Clarence Thomas is on the Court, it
loses legitimacy.
