Hi,

Paul Singer, a billionaire Republican mega-donor who has paid for some of
Samuel Alito’s undisclosed luxury trips and has had business in front of
SCOTUS, is back in the news. Why? Because Singer just made a $10 million
donation to the GOP.^1

After the Alito-Singer scandal dropped last year and other ethics
violations were revealed — including a conservative legal group flying
Justice Alito out to Rome, Italy in 2022^2 — Alito said Congress has no
authority to regulate ethics on the Supreme Court.^3

But Alito is wrong, and Congress must step in to pass an enforceable,
binding code of ethics to stop the corruption on SCOTUS.

trips paid for by GOP billionaires and right-wing groups. Congress must
pass a SCOTUS ethics act!

Alito’s list of scandals goes beyond undisclosed luxury trips. A Stop the
Steal style flag was flying over his house after the January 6
insurrection, at a time when SCOTUS was considering 2020 election cases.^4
Instead of recusing himself from January 6 cases, he went ahead and ruled,
including in the case that gave American presidents “absolute immunity.”

Despite all of these scandals, SCOTUS does not have a binding code of
conduct. Congress must change that now and rein in the corruption on the
Court.
