Hi,
Senator Ron Wyden just revealed yet another paid-for luxury trip that
Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose to the public. In 2010, GOP
billionaire mega-donor Harlan Crow paid for private jet travel for
Clarence and Ginni Thomas from Hawaii to New Zealand.^1
This adds to Clarence Thomas’ running list of undisclosed luxury gifts. We
previously learned that Crow also took Thomas around the world on his
super-yacht, and paid for the Justice's vacations to Indonesia and
Russia.^2
Thomas and Samuel Alito have failed to maintain their independence on the
Supreme Court after accepting millions in lavish gifts from corporate
executives and GOP mega-donors. They’ve failed to recuse themselves from
cases where they had a clear conflict of interest, including the Trump
immunity case. These are the reasons Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has led
the campaign to impeach Thomas and Alito.

The United States Supreme Court has lost the confidence of the American
public after its raft of corruption scandals — which includes severe
ethics issues involving every single conservative justice — and extreme
right-wing decisions like overturning Roe v. Wade, granting American
presidents absolute immunity, handing over greater power to corporations,
and threatening same-sex marriage.
Upon introducing articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito, 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.”^3
Congress must join AOC and act strongly and swiftly to hold Thomas and
Alito accountable.

corruption scandals shows they shouldn’t be on the Supreme Court. It’s
time to impeach Thomas and Alito!
