[link removed] [[link removed]] John,

One year ago today, ProPublica published a damning report, revealing that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife accepted luxury vacations for 20 years from billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow, including lavish private jet trips, yacht rides, and stays at luxury resorts. The law requires Thomas to report gifts like that — but he never did. Not once .

Since then, we’ve also learned that Clarence Thomas accepted and did not disclose that Crow paid for his grandnephew to attend private boarding school, did not disclose his family’s sale of three properties to Crow, and he failed to recuse himself from a case in which Crow had a financial interest despite his significant financial entanglement with Crow.

CREW filed a complaint last April against Clarence Thomas for these blatant violations of the Ethics in Government Act. The Department of Justice needs to investigate.

When it comes to Thomas’s ethics issues, there is even more where that came from:

*
He
has
heard
cases
about
the
January
6th
insurrection
despite
his
wife
Ginni’s
involvement
in
spreading
the
Big
Lie
and
pressure
on
Trump
allies
to
overturn
the
results
of
the
2020
election
*
He
had
a
$270,000
loan
for
a
luxury
RV
apparently
forgiven
from
another
one
of
his
wealthy
friends

John, Clarence Thomas has undermined the public's trust in the ability of the Court to faithfully and impartially discharge its obligations, and to apply equal justice under law.

By continuing to sit on the highest court in the land, Thomas does nothing but further diminish the Court’s credibility. He needs to resign.

Since the torrent of shocking stories of Thomas’s corruption began last year, scrutiny of the ethics crisis of the Supreme Court has reached an all time high, and confidence in the Court has reached an all time low.

The Supreme Court made a gesture towards cleaning up its act by imposing a code of ethics last fall, but the code fell far short. It is not binding and does not impose real consequences for failures to uphold public trust.

A year into this ethics crisis, our work is far from over. We need to continue pushing for meaningful reforms and accountability for the justice most responsible for the crisis.
