John,
The Supreme Court is in an ethics crisis of its own making.
From personal conflicts of interest to influence-peddling schemes, the justices have shown an unwillingness to do what it takes to restore the public’s faith in their work.
It’s not just a disaster for the judiciary, but also for our entire system of checks and balances. This is a serious threat to our democracy.
That’s why CREW is supporting the Court Reform Now Task Force created by Congressman Hank Johnson Johnson, along with his co-chairs, Congressman Schiff, Congressman Raskin, Congresswoman Dean and Congresswoman Crockett. They know that we need to take action to restore the public's faith in the Supreme Court and ensure the justices are held to the highest ethical standards.
For years now, CREW has been a leading voice calling for judicial ethics reform – and today, our fight is more important than ever. Please, support CREW’s work to fight for reform by making a donation today →

At a time when democracy feels like it's hanging in the balance, CREW believes strongly that we need the courts, and the Supreme Court in particular, to serve as a xxxxxx against authoritarianism.
Americans must be able to trust that the Court is making decisions based on the law – that they’re not being influenced by wealthy interests, through all-expenses paid resort vacations and trips on private jets, or simply buying access through big donations to Court-related fundraising groups.
We can no longer wait to address the ethical rot eroding the foundations of our justice system.
Thank you,
Adam Smith
Vice President of Democracy Initiatives
