Public trust in the Supreme Court was already at historic lows — and I
wouldn’t be surprised if it just keeps getting worse from here.

We keep learning more and more about how Justice Clarence Thomas has been
accepting undisclosed luxury travel gifts from billionaires like GOP
megadonor Harlan Crow — full of private jets, superyachts, and exclusive
resorts.

Look, when someone gets their day in court, they shouldn’t have to wonder
whether their judge — or a Supreme Court justice — is looking out for
wealthy donors instead of the rule of law.

This latest revelations are just a reminder that the judicial branch needs
real ethics reform, from top to bottom. I’ve got a plan for that — the
Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act.

From banning federal judges from owning individual stocks to overhauling
the broken judicial recusal process, this bill would help root out
corruption and restore public trust in the federal judiciary. But we have
to fight side by side — as a grassroots movement — to get these reforms
through Congress.

[ [link removed] ]I’ll keep fighting to root corruption out of our federal judiciary, and
I need you in this fight with me. Please let me know: Do you endorse my
plan to make judges follow a basic, binding code of ethics in order to sit
on the bench?

[ [link removed] ]YES

Simply put, corruption is toxic to our democracy. Here are a few big
pieces of how this bill would give Americans confidence that their judges
are held to the highest ethical standards and are free from conflicts of
interest:

* Banning federal judges from owning individual stocks and certain other
investments.
* Strengthening restrictions on judicial gifts and privately funded
travel.
* Imposing the existing Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges on the Supreme
Court — the only court in the country not currently subject to a
binding ethical code.
* Improving disclosure of judicial speeches and case assignments, while
mandating the livestreaming of court proceedings.
* Closing the loophole that allows judges to escape accountability by
retiring from the bench, strengthening disciplinary authority for the
Judicial Conference, setting up expedited impeachment procedures for
federal judges, and allowing the public to file complaints against
Supreme Court Justices — like all other federal judges — through a new
Supreme Court Complaints Review Committee.
* Limiting the ability of courts to seal records that contain important
information for the protection of public health or safety, often
concealed at the urging of massive corporations.

Beyond this bill, there’s more we can do to restore faith in an
independent judiciary committed to the rule of law. I’ve been pushing to
expand the Supreme Court by four or more seats to rebalance this
institution that’s been hijacked by right-wing extremists. But let’s make
progress by tackling corruption.

There’s real momentum behind the judicial ethics reform. But now we need
to show that the American people are raising their voices on this.

[ [link removed] ]Will you let me know if you endorse our Judicial Ethics and
Anti-Corruption Act? Make your voice heard on this issue that is
powerfully important to our democracy.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth 

P.S. Do you have any feedback on this plan or for our campaign in general?
