Hi,
Over two decades ago, Clarence Thomas took a $267K “loan” from a health
insurance executive to buy a luxury RV. The “loan,” which was ultimately
forgiven, was never disclosed to the public. Clarence Thomas kept it a
secret. A few years later, Thomas wrote the majority opinion for a case
that protected corporate profits for health insurance giants and hurt
patients.^1
This is just one example of the secret gifts, conflicts of interest, and
ties to corporations and shadowy conservative networks that have destroyed
Thomas and Samuel Alito’s ethical standing and independence on the Supreme
Court. Congress must hold Thomas and Alito accountable!

The 2004 opinion that Thomas authored broadly benefited the health
insurance industry. It shielded employer-sponsored health insurers from
damages if they refuse to cover certain services and patients are
harmed.^2 Thomas helped corporations put profits over patients.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against
Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito^3 due to their long list of ethics
scandals, including glaring conflicts of interest in the Trump immunity
case — where the right-wing justices granted “absolute immunity” to
American presidents.
Upon introducing the articles of impeachment, AOC said, “Justices Clarence
Thomas and Samuel Alito’s pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential
matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial
and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of
law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for
which the tool of impeachment was designed.”^4
Thomas and Alito’s corruption is a threat to our democracy and they must
be removed from the Supreme Court.
