Dear John,

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

For years, Justices Thomas and Alito have taken millions in gifts from right-wing billionaires while pushing a far-right agenda and refusing to recuse themselves in cases where they have clear conflicts of interest.

It’s about time someone held them accountable.

Inequality Media has been leading the charge for Supreme Court reform for years, with viral explainer videos warning about the critical importance of the impartiality of the Court and the threat that these radical right-wing justices pose to our democracy. Now we’re turning up the heat and demanding a vote on the impeachment of Justices Thomas and Alito.

Will you donate $5 a month to help educate the public and support AOC’s effort to impeach Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito?

Yes, Robert! I'll start a monthly donation.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in monthly.

Clarence Thomas, who happens to have been my classmate at Yale Law School, 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.

Meanwhile Thomas has refused to recuse himself from January 6-related cases, despite his wife’s involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Samuel Alito has also been on the receiving end of undisclosed luxury trips paid for by right-wing billionaires, and just like Thomas, he refused to recuse himself from January 6-related cases, even after it was reported that two pro-MAGA flags had flown in front of his houses in the days following the insurrection.

An honest, independent judiciary is absolutely vital to any functioning democracy. But Justices Thomas and Alito have lost all legitimacy as unbiased jurists. That’s why we must take action — and the one way our Constitution allows Supreme Court justices to be held accountable 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.

Yes, Robert! I'll start a monthly donation.

No, I'm sorry, I can't chip in monthly.

Thank you for helping us defend our democracy,
