Friend - The Senate Judiciary Committee just announced that they will vote on Supreme Court ethics legislation, so we wanted to make sure you saw Sen. Murphy’s important request below to add your voice on this issue.

Chris has been at the forefront of demanding accountability for Supreme Court justices. He was the first person to introduce a bill on this issue over a decade ago because he saw the potential for corruption.

Please add your name to demand the Senate pass Sen. Murphy’s Supreme Court Ethics Act. Support for this bill in Congress is growing by the day, but we must keep the pressure on.

The Supreme Court is now controlled by right wing politicians, masquerading as judges, imposing their politics on the country by fiat and living lives of leisure subsidized by billionaires with interests before the court.

It’s an outrageous scam.

Fortunately, the Senate Judiciary Committee just announced that they will move forward with a vote on ethics legislation later this month. I was the first in Congress to introduce a Supreme Court ethics bill over a decade ago, and I’m glad that my proposal is finally being considered.

Will you add your name to mine to urge my colleagues to pass my Supreme Court Ethics Act? This bill would create a binding code of conduct that applies to all federal judges and justices — including the Supreme Court, which is currently excluded.

I’ve introduced this bill in every Congress since 2011, and the crisis of confidence and trust in the Supreme Court is only getting worse.

Earlier this year, we got multiple reports of Clarence Thomas’ entanglements and gifts from Harlan Crow, a billionaire with interests frequently before the Court. Other justices on the right have had similar questionable interactions with wealthy Republican interests.

It is outrageous that every federal judge is bound by a code of ethics except for the nine who sit on the highest court in the country.

Congress cannot allow for Supreme Court justices to so brazenly flout the conflict of interest rules that apply to every other federal judge.

Just look at the Supreme Court’s latest decisions, and you can see how radical they have become. This is the most ethically compromised Supreme Court ever. Passing my legislation is an important first step toward reining them in and stopping the harm they’re imposing on our rights and democracy.

Please add your name to tell Congress to pass my Supreme Court Ethics Act. This cannot wait any longer.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
