John,

It is the fundamental duty of our judiciary to remain impartial and free from any kind of external influence, be it monetary or otherwise. With a case as consequential as Moore v. US looming over the horizon, its outcome has the potential to shape the tax landscape of this country for decades to come. And for such a landmark case, the utmost transparency is needed from every justice that will be deciding on it.

ProPublica's recent investigation into Justice Clarence Thomas' undisclosed gifts from billionaires has sounded alarm bells about his lack of impartiality. As the details unravel, the depth and nature of these relationships pose serious ethical concerns, especially given that these relationships involve individuals who stand to gain or lose millions from the outcome of the upcoming case.

Here’s the facts: Over the last three decades, Justice Thomas has enjoyed numerous luxurious vacations, private jet flights, resort stays, and even private school tuition for the grandnephew Thomas raised as a son. All these perks, and others, came directly from the pockets of billionaires. What's even more concerning is that these gifts have remained undisclosed, which is a blatant violation of the law.

The Supreme Court is about to hear arguments in Moore v. US. The case will decide whether new taxes, designed to identify gains in billionaire wealth that are currently untaxed, are legal or not. Justice Thomas's billionaire benefactors have a lot at stake. If the verdict goes in favor of the ultra-wealthy, it would safeguard their colossal wealth gains from taxation potentially for generations to come.

Sign now to demand Clarence Thomas, based on clear conflicts of interest, recuse himself from Moore v. US now.

Among the names of the billionaire benefactors bankrolling Justice Thomas are the likes of David Sokol, H. Wayne Huizenga, and Tony Novelly, who each have demonstrated not just casual affiliations, but deep-rooted ties that extend far beyond personal interactions, raising serious questions about the influence they wield over one of the nation's most pivotal jurists.

Given these circumstances, it's clear to see how their gifts impact Justice Thomas' decision-making process. How can he truly be expected to deliver an unbiased verdict when those bankrolling his luxurious lifestyle have billions on the line?

Justice Thomas' association with these billionaires isn't just a series of harmless encounters. It's a clear example of wealth and power attempting to blur the lines of judicial ethics. We cannot -- and should not -- accept a justice of the highest court in the land having clear conflicts of interest, especially when dealing with a case of this magnitude.

For the integrity of the Supreme Court and for the trust that the American people have in its decisions, tell Justice Thomas to recuse himself from Moore v. US by adding your name now.

Thank you for standing for justice, transparency, and the integrity of our judicial system.
