Hi,

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has gotten over $10 million
through undisclosed payments to his wife from corporate law firms with
cases in front of the court.^1

Clarence Thomas and his wife secretly took millions in gifts and cash
payments from a Republican megadonors and lobbyists.^2 Other justices have
ethics scandals as well.

And yet, the chief justice STILL refuses to testify before the Senate
Judiciary Committee about the raft of ethics scandals engulfing him and
other justices.^3

The public has a right to hear John Roberts and the other justices answer
questions under oath. We’re mobilizing grassroots pressure calling on the
Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena John Roberts and force him to do
just that.

While Roberts refuses to testify under oath before the Senate Judiciary
Committee, a few days ago, he turned around and gave a speech at a swanky
awards dinner, arguing that the Supreme Court has no serious ethics
problems.^4

Who does he think he’s fooling?

The list of ethical violations unveiled in recent months is truly
jaw-dropping.

John Roberts’s wife, a high-powered legal headhunter, took millions of
dollars from top corporate law firms that regularly argue before the
Supreme Court. Roberts didn’t disclose the money or recuse himself from
any of the cases where his wife's clients were involved.

Justice Clarence Thomas and his family secretly accepted sweetheart real
estate deals, luxury vacations, and cash payments from a shadowy network
of Republicans who convinced him to reverse at least one of his judicial
opinions.

Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a vacation home in Colorado to the head of a
major law firm that has argued dozens of cases before the court, and he
has not recused himself in any of those cases.^5

These clear ethical breaches — combined with extreme right-wing rulings
that strip away fundamental human rights — have caused public support of
the Supreme Court to sink to an all-time low.^6

We’ve mobilized over 100,000 people to demand a binding code of ethics for
the Supreme Court, and now we’re calling on the Senate Judiciary Committee
to subpoena John Roberts and other justices to testify under oath about
their shady business deals and lavish undisclosed gifts. Will you donate
$10 to help turn up the heat?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll donate $10 to Demand Progress Action to hold the
Supreme Court accountable and push for other key reforms.

With gratitude for all that you do,

Tihi and the team at Demand Progress Action
