Dear John,

For years, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have taken millions in gifts from right-wing billionaires while pushing a far-right agenda that’s stripped away our basic rights and put our democracy at risk.

But now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has filed articles of impeachment against Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, and I’m with her 100%.

Inequality Media has produced a series of posts, including explainer videos, that we’re pushing out to our millions of followers across social media to alert the public to the extreme levels of corruption that have been uncovered at the Supreme Court.

In addition, we’re demanding a vote on the impeachment of Justices Thomas and Alito, who have continued to refuse to recuse themselves from cases where they have clear conflicts of interest.

If there was ever a case for impeaching a Supreme Court justice, this is it.

Clarence Thomas, who happens to be my former Yale Law School classmate, has refused to recuse himself from January 6-related cases, despite his wife’s support for the insurrection.

At the same time, he has raked in over $4 million in gifts from right-wing billionaires, including flights on private jets, super-yacht trips, and stays at luxury resorts. And that’s just what we know about, thanks to the reporting of journalists at investigative reporting outlets like ProPublica, because Justice Thomas refused to disclose these gifts, in violation of federal law.

What did Thomas’s billionaire patrons get for their money? Plenty. For instance, Justice Thomas flipped his vote on the key legal precedent known as Chevron deference, which gives federal agencies the power they need to enforce laws like the Clean Air Act and Food Safety Modernization Act.

Samuel Alito has also been on the receiving end of undisclosed luxury trips paid for by right-wing billionaires, and just like Thomas, he refuses to recuse himself in cases where he has clear conflicts of interest, including the notorious decision earlier this year giving Donald Trump total immunity for crimes he committed as part of his “official duties.”

Justice Alito also refused to recuse himself from January 6-related cases, despite flying an upside-down American flag and another MAGA flag, which are strong political statements among the people who stormed the Capitol.

The Supreme Court is one of the most powerful and least accountable bodies in our entire government. They have no legally binding code of ethics. Chief Justice John Roberts has proven totally unable or unwilling to enforce even the most basic rules of judicial conduct.

The one way to hold them accountable under our Constitution is through impeachment.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading the way, filing articles of impeachment in the House of Representatives. Now we need to have her back by informing millions of Americans about what’s at stake and urging other members of Congress to join her and demand a vote on the floor of Congress.
