The corruption at the Supreme Court smells worse than a Pittsburgh
construction site port-a-john on a hot summer day.
But it's now one big step closer to getting the deep clean it needs:
President Joe Biden just published a serious op-ed in the Washington Post
officially declaring his intent to bust out the metaphorical bleach.
President Biden has overseen more Supreme Court nominations as senator,
vice president and president than anyone living today. So when he says the
current Court reeks of corruption, he knows what he's talking about.
I'm proud to have the president's commitment to restore Americans' faith
in our highest court.

President Biden is supporting some of the same reforms that I've called
for, like:
1. Establishing term limits. The United States is the only major
constitutional democracy that gives lifetime seats to its high court.
It would greatly reduce any one president or party's ability to
radically reshape the Court — like we saw Mitch McConnell and Donald
Trump do in just 4 years.
2. Creating a binding code of conduct. SCOTUS's current code of ethics is
only useful as toilet paper because it has no enforcement mechanism.
If Clarence Thomas continues to accept undisclosed gifts from
millionaires and billionaires with business before the Court, the only
way to actually hold him accountable right now is impeachment. And as
a senator, I believe we need more tools in our cleaning kit than that.
Between the connections to January 6th and accepting lavish gifts without
disclosing them — it's no wonder the MAGA Supreme Court's popularity with
average Americans is in the shitter.
And yeah, I won't lie that thinking about how many 💩 jokes I can make in
one email helps temper my anger about the truly brazen, historic
corruption we've seen.
But at the end of the day, Americans deserve and need to be able to trust
that the highest court in the land serves their interests, not whoever is
funding Clarence Thomas's next vaca.

years — and we need a president, Senate, and House that will get it done.
Pitch in $5 to help do just that.
