[1]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress



A Supreme Court watchdog group reported that SCOTUS Justices have received
at least $4.7 million in gifts over the past 20 years.^1

Justice Clarence Thomas alone likely received $4.2 million in gifts.^2
Some were from billionaire GOP megadonors; others were from folks who had
cases heard by the Court.

The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis. So yesterday, Alexandria
joined Ranking Member Jamie Raskin to announce legislation that would bar
SCOTUS Justices from receiving gifts valued at over $50.

If Congress fails to hold the Supreme Court accountable, it will send a
dangerous signal to the special interests trying to buy them off that
their actions are fair game.

democracy. Will you make a $5 contribution today so that
AOC can keep fighting to ensure no one — no matter how rich or powerful —
is above the law?
