[ [link removed] ]SIGN: Samuel Alito must recuse or be removed from cases involving Trump
and the 2020 election—and be held accountable for having an
insurrectionist solidarity symbol outside his home while hearing cases
about overturning the 2020 results!

Dear MoveOn member,

BREAKING: The New York Times just reported that the home of Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Alito displayed a symbol that shows solidarity with the
effort to overturn the 2020 election ... while he was hearing a case about
that effort.^1 The upside-down flag—a "stop the steal" image—is just the
latest evidence that the partisan Republicans on the court cannot
impartially hear or rule on cases related to the efforts to overturn the
election, the January 6 insurrection, or Trump's claims of immunity.

[ [link removed] ]Alito may be writing or contributing to a decision about Trump's
immunity claims RIGHT NOW! There is no time to wait. Tell Samuel Alito to
recuse himself from all cases involving the 2020 election, including
Trump's efforts to claim immunity from prosecution—or Chief Justice John
Roberts must remove him from these cases due to his conflicts of interest!

Justice Samuel Alito must recuse himself or be removed immediately from
considering cases related to Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020
election, and he must be held accountable!

Even if Alito won't take the ethical action on his own, it is critical to
amp up pressure on lawmakers and the Chief Justice. It's especially
critical to ensure everyone knows about his conflicts and violations, as
the court could rule any day on Trump's immunity claims.

The revelation of this sign of partisanship and partiality on Alito's home
is the latest in the trend of right-wing Supreme Court justices embracing
conflicts of interest with relation to Trump's election cases. Justice
Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas, a leading conservative activist,
took action to try to overturn the election results—yet Thomas did not
disclose this while ruling on cases related to the insurrection and has
continued to hear cases such as Trump's appeal for immunity.^2

[ [link removed] ]The only way to begin to restore any trust in this court—and to ensure
any semblance of a fair hearing on Trump's baseless immunity claims—is for
Alito and Thomas to recuse, or be removed by John Roberts.

Because Chief Justice John Roberts has allowed these conflicts to go
unchecked, the Supreme Court is at its lowest public approval ever—with
the public losing trust in the institution's integrity and seeing it as
the tool of a partisan right-wing agenda that it is. That's why it
shouldn't surprise anyone that these partisan actors are overturning
precedent and taking groundless cases to pursue an agenda that has
undermined abortion rights, undone environmental regulations, and enriched
and empowered corporations and billionaires.

And the Senate Judiciary Committee—which has the duty to be a check on the
Supreme Court—must investigate these conflicts immediately and take action
to hold conflicted, corrupt justices accountable, including impeachment if
necessary.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to the petition now, and we will bring the signatures to
the attention of lawmakers, the press, and the Supreme Court as soon as
possible! Alito may be drafting or contributing to a decision about
Trump's immunity right now. We have to act fast!

Thanks for all you do.

including by filling a "Banned Bookmobile" with books that the far right
has banned and driving it to key cities and towns to raise the visibility
of book bans, hand out banned books for free, and bring people together to
stop censorship. To keep up the fight against book bans and the MAGA
politicians who support them, we need your help.
