John,

As the United States Supreme Court prepares to hear oral arguments in the pivotal case of Moore v. United States on December 5th, a shadow of bias and corruption threatens the very core of our judicial system.

Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Chief Justice John Roberts stand at the center of this storm, embroiled in conflicts of interest so blatant that their continued participation in this case is nothing short of scandalous.

To fully grasp the gravity of the situation and the clear conflicts of interest, we must examine the intricate web of financial and professional ties of the justices in question:

• Justice Alito: Beyond his notable connections with corporations that are poised to reap rewards from a ruling in the billionaires' favor, he has accepted sizeable travel gifts from billionaire Paul Singer. Further complicating matters is his ties with David Rivkin, Jr, a pivotal lawyer in the case, muddying the waters of impartiality.

• Justice Thomas: His ledger is stained by the acceptance of lavish gifts and financial windfalls from entities and individuals who would directly profit from a particular ruling in this case -- a stark concern for unbiased jurisprudence.

• Justice Gorsuch: His rise in the legal echelons owes a significant debt to billionaire Philip Anschutz. With Anschutz's vested interests in the outcome of Moore v. U.S., questions arise regarding Gorsuch's ability to remain impartial.

• Chief Justice Roberts: His ledger isn't free from concerns either. With financial ties to corporations standing to gain from a particular ruling, the situation becomes increasingly convoluted, casting a shadow over his participation.

With Moore v. U.S. taking center stage, we must ensure that the Supreme Court's verdict stands unquestioned in its fairness and integrity.

Demand Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Roberts, and Thomas recuse themselves from Moore v. U.S. now.

Moore v. U.S. isn't just another case on the docket, it's a legal battleground that will decide the fate of several existing tax laws. If the Court sides with the billionaires, it risks undermining the very fabric of our federal income tax system, tilting the scales even more in favor of multinational corporations and wealthy investors.

As the U.S. Supreme Court readies itself to hear this case that could redefine Congress's ability to tax mega-corporations and the uber-rich, one principle must stand tall: the verdict must rise above personal interest, ensuring that the scales of justice are balanced by integrity, not weighed down by conflicts of interest.

In this light, Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Roberts, and Thomas must recuse themselves since each of them has entanglements that not only reek of conflicts of interest but also brazenly threaten to undermine the very foundation of unbiased jurisprudence in our nation's highest court.

The situation is clear-cut. These justices have forfeited their right to preside over this case. Their continued involvement is a direct insult to the concept of justice and a mockery of the impartiality that is the bedrock of the legal system.

We must not stand idly by as the highest court in the land is reduced to a playground for the wealthy and powerful. Stand with us in our demand for justice, insisting that Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Roberts step down from the Moore v. United States case now.

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