“The total value of the undisclosed trips [the billionaire donors have] given
[Justice Clarence] Thomas since 1991, the year he was appointed to the Supreme
Court, is difficult to measure. But it’s likely in the millions.”

– ProPublica, 8/10/23

Friend,

Justice Clarence Thomas is making headlines once again.

Shocking new reporting from ProPublica reveals there are “at least 38
destination vacations, including a previously unreported voyage on a yacht
around the Bahamas; 26 private jet flights, plus an additional eight by
helicopter; a dozen VIP passes to professional and college sporting
events; two stays at luxury resorts in Florida and Jamaica; and one
standing invitation to an uber-exclusive golf club.” ^[ [link removed] ] All of these
trips were given to Justice Thomas from ultra-wealthy Republican
megadonors.

NONE of these trips was documented in annual disclosure reporting.

A judge whose lavish lifestyle turns out to be secretly subsidized by
billionaire moguls makes a mockery of our court system. And many of these
gifts should have been reported under federal law. That is why People For
is renewing our call for the Department of Justice to open an
investigation into Thomas’s clear and willful violations of federal ethics
laws.

[1]Sign our petition today and demand that the DOJ investigate and pursue
any appropriate civil and criminal penalties for Justice Thomas’s
misconduct! >>

Such obvious attempts to bypass federal ethics requirements and accepted
best practices only further erode the confidence many Americans have in
the Supreme Court – and is why we must renew our efforts to hold the
justices to the highest ethical standards and hold them accountable when
they fail to meet them.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to restoring integrity
to our federal judiciary.
