Add your name: Justice Samuel Alito must be impeached for his ethics violations NOW! Sign the petition to show your support.

Dear MoveOn member,

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just announced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, over the ways they have abused their power on the Supreme Court in order to protect and advance their own personal interests.1 After corruption has taken over the court and more and more reports have revealed ethic violations by both Justice Thomas and Justice Alito—this couldn't be more timely. Now that the articles of impeachment have been introduced, Congress needs to move swiftly to launch an impeachment investigation and begin impeachment proceedings.

Justice Alito continued to rule in cases involving Donald Trump and the January 6 insurrection even after reports came out about the waving of insurrectionist-affiliated flags outside his homes. Just weeks after the existence of the first flag was exposed, news broke of a second insurrectionist flag being waved.2

Enough is enough. Will you sign the petition to demand that Congress impeach Justice Samuel Alito for his corruption and ethical violations?

Justice Alito must be held accountable. Members of Congress must launch an impeachment investigation and impeachment proceedings NOW.

Justices Alito and Thomas both have a serious problem of not disclosing expensive gifts they receive from their rich right-wing friends. In 2008, Justice Alito took a luxury fishing trip with GOP billionaire and megadonor Paul Singer. Reports revealed that he traveled on Singer's private jet and that the lodge they stayed at cost up to $1,000 a day.3

Following the trip, Singer's hedge fund had cases go before the Supreme Court up to 10 times, and Justice Alito didn't recuse himself from a single one. Justice Alito claimed that he wasn’t aware of Singer's ties to the hedge fund, that they didn’t discuss Singer’s "business"—and that federal gift disclosure requirements didn't include "accommodations and transportation for social events."4

Justice Alito has gotten away with ethics violations for far too long—from failure to disclose that luxurious trip to his refusal to recuse himself from cases in which he has clear conflicts of interest. Justice Alito must be held accountable for his actions. Sign the petition here.

Justices on the nation's highest court shouldn't be accepting gifts from right-wing billionaires or publicly expressing their political views. But it's clear that both Justice Alito and Justice Thomas have been pushing their right-wing agenda on the court, all while being privately bankrolled by billionaires.

Decisions made by the court are impacting everyday Americans, whose rights are being put aside in favor of the interests of right-wing billionaires and corporations. These are the same justices who ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade, ruled on the side of insurrectionists, and determined that Donald Trump is above the law and has presidential immunity.5,6,7

MoveOn members have a chance to put pressure on congressional leaders to fight back against Supreme Court corruption and IMPEACH Justice Alito. Add your name to the petition now!

More than 1 million MoveOn members have already called for Justice Thomas to be impeached; now let's build on that momentum and demand that Justice Alito to be held accountable!

Thanks for all you do.
