John,
Today, I’m testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of Supreme Court ethics, recusal and transparency.
In the last six months, major ethics scandals have eroded public trust in the Supreme Court to record lows.
Recent reporting revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas accepted hundreds of thousands in dollars in gifts and travel from billionaire Harlan Crow. And the public learned of a decades-long campaign in which individuals purchased unparalleled access to the Supreme Court, and may have obtained information about rulings prior to them being publicly released.
Since the Supreme Court has proven that it can not effectively regulate itself, and will not even adopt consistent processes for all justices, Congress must step in.
Congress must act quickly to help restore credibility and public trust to our judiciary. The Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, with its focus on recusal, is a critical, measured, and constitutionally appropriate step towards that goal.
Tell Congress to pass Supreme Court ethics reform immediately → [[link removed]]

The SCERT Act will reshape the Court’s recusal regime, bringing measures of transparency and accountability into an opaque and broken system. This will help rebuild public confidence in the judiciary and ensure that the high court is held to the high ethical standard its position of power demands.
The public is calling for change. Congress has an obligation to pass legislation that protects our democracy and implements necessary judicial ethics reform.
If you agree, sign our petition to Congress demanding they pass Supreme Court ethics reform → [[link removed]]
Thanks for signing,
Donald Sherman
Executive VP and Chief Counsel
