Last month, it was revealed that the Supreme Court received nearly $5 million in luxury gifts — $4.2 million of which was gifted solely to Clarence Thomas by MAGA megadonors.1
Just days ago, SCOTUS severely restricted the regulatory powers of federal agencies by overturning a legal precedent known as ‘Chevron deference.’2
And this morning, SCOTUS ruled that Donald Trump has ‘absolute immunity’ from prosecution for crimes he committed while he was President of the United States.
The Supreme Court is in a legitimacy crisis.
This Court is setting the stage for a Trump presidency above the law. If Congress fails to hold them accountable, it sends a dangerous signal to the special interests trying to buy them off that their actions are fair game.
After the news of SCOTUS’ luxury gifts, Alexandria joined Ranking Member Jamie Raskin to announce legislation barring Justices from receiving gifts valued over $50. We will keep you updated as more develops on the Supreme Court.
