Hi,

Recently, the Supreme Court has made dangerous rulings on guns, LGBTQ+
rights, and worker rights. And that’s just the beginning of the problems
on SCOTUS.

With rulings coming on Trump immunity and January 6 cases, both Clarence
Thomas and Samuel Alito have clear conflicts of interest in the case. But
they refuse to recuse themselves. We need serious, immediate reforms to
fix the nation’s highest court. One of those is term limits to keep
corrupt conservatives from serving for decades.

Court. Get Thomas and Alito off the Court!

While we await the critical SCOTUS rulings on January 6 cases, the
right-wing judges on SCOTUS overturned a ban on bump stocks (a device that
helps guns fire at a more rapid pace), made it harder for workers to sue
union busting corporate employers in federal court, and ruled in a way
that threatens Obergefell, the case that legalized same-sex marriage.

These rulings all threaten our rights, freedoms, and safety. The rulings
that could even further endanger our democracy may come in the next week
or two.

Thomas shouldn’t be ruling on January 6 cases because his wife, Ginni
Thomas, attended the January 6 Stop the Steal rally and pleaded with
senior White House staff to help Trump overturn the election in the days
leading up to the insurrection.^1

Alito shouldn’t rule on January 6 cases because a Stop the Steal style
flag was flying over his house in 2020. The flag flew as the Court
considered whether or not to take on a critical election case in the days
after the Capitol riots, just before President Biden was sworn in.^2

The Supreme Court is supposed to be fair and independent, but corruption
scandals from Thomas, Alito, Roberts, and the other conservatives show why
we need serious reforms.
