Last week was a busy one in the Senate, team.

I voted in the Judiciary Committee to authorize issuing subpoenas to Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo as part of our Supreme Court Ethics probe.

Republicans have claimed that our investigation into billionaire influence at the Court will destroy the institution. Their refusal to cooperate raises the question: What are they so concerned we’ll find? Whatever it is, you deserve to know about it. These subpoenas are a step toward learning the truth.

And while it’s good news that the justices recently announced a code of ethics for themselves, their pledge is all but useless if there’s no way to file a complaint, investigate potential violations, or make the findings public. The justices are their own judge and jury, which won’t stem further misconduct.

We’re making progress, but we still have to pass my Supreme Court ethics bill – the SCERT Act – which includes an enforcement mechanism that would hold the justices accountable to the American people.

That’s why I’m asking you today: If you are able, can you pitch in $5 to support my reelection campaign? The powerful people who have been rigging the Court for years are dead set on preventing me from getting to the bottom of what they’ve been up to.
