Indivisibles,
Over the past few years, Republicans have stacked our courts with
right-wing ideologues handpicked by extremely conservative dark money
groups. Now, we're living through the fallout. We've watched as the
Supreme Court overturned Roe, banned affirmative action, made it harder to
regulate polluters, and allowed businesses to openly discriminate against
LGBTQ+ people. With a new court term underway, we don't expect much to be
different.
What makes this all the more enraging is the MAGA justices' blatantly
corrupt behavior. It wasn't enough for them to roll back our fundamental
rights and give corporations free rein over our economy -- they also got
rewarded for it by MAGA donors with luxury vacations, rides on private
jets and yachts, and gifts that amounted to hundreds of thousands of
dollars from right-wing interest groups and billionaires with business
before the court.
It’s no wonder the Supreme Court is facing a legitimacy crisis. Its
approval rating is below 37%, and over 70% of the public thinks the court
is too influenced by partisan politics. The first step to restoring
legitimacy to the court is uncovering the full extent of the MAGA
justices' corrupt behavior -- and that work can start right now.
So far, thousands of Indivisibles have signed our letter calling on Leader
Schumer and Judiciary Committee Chairman Durbin to hold investigatory
hearings and subpoena Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, and their billionaire
benefactors.
Indivisibles in blue states across the country are demanding Senate
Democrats use their oversight authority to rein in a court that's out of
control. With a new term underway, we can't let up now. [ [link removed] ]Pitch in today
to help us keep up the pressure on Congress to rein in the Supreme Court’s
corruption and pass a binding code of ethics.

It's important to remember Democratic senators are not powerless. Despite
what Samuel Alito might claim in his Wall Street Journal op-eds, Congress
has the authority -- and the responsibility -- to regulate the Supreme
Court. And we don't have to wait for a trifecta to get this work started.
Sen. Durbin and Democrats on other relevant committees can begin holding
hearings and issuing subpoenas right now.
We're also calling on Sen. Schumer to hold a vote on the Supreme Court
Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act (SCERT). Every other federal judge
is bound by a code of ethics, and it's time for Congress to impose one on
the Supreme Court too. While SCERT has no chance of passing through the
MAGA-controlled House, we can build momentum now to get it passed soon --
and we can get Republicans on the record opposing something as basic as a
code of ethics.
There are still some Democratic senators who are hesitant to use their
full authority to investigate the MAGA justices. Some are worried about
politicizing the court, even though it’s already been politicized by
Republicans and the right-wing interest groups who helped them stack the
bench. Others are worried about the unprecedented nature of hauling a
justice before the Judiciary Committee, even though we’re seeing
unprecedented levels of corrupt behavior. But if we do nothing, nothing
will change. And nobody -- not even a Supreme Court justice -- is above
accountability.
We have to apply consistent grassroots pressure to make sure our Members
of Congress do everything in their power to hold the MAGA justices
accountable. This work takes time and resources, and we’re counting on our
grassroots donors to help make it possible. [ [link removed] ]Click here to pitch in and
