Friend,

Justices on the Supreme Court are supposed to protect our rights. But
ethical lapses from some on the bench reinforce doubts about their
impartiality and whether they’re simply carrying out the political agenda
of the conservative megadonors that surround them.

[ [link removed] ]Join us in demanding ethics reform for the Supreme Court by signing and
sending this petition that urges Congress to act!>>

Here’s just some of what has been uncovered in the last few years alone:

 1. Thomas's Undisclosed Trips: ProPublica revealed Justice Clarence
Thomas received luxury travel from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow, failing
to disclose it as required. The Senate Judiciary Committee found
additional undisclosed trips between 2017-2021.
 2. Thomas and Crow's Other Secret Transactions: Besides trips, Crow
bought Thomas’s mother’s home in 2014 and made substantial
improvements to it while she was still living there. He also paid for
the private school tuition for the relative Thomas was raising “as a
son.”
 3. Justice Samuel Alito's Controversial Flag Display: Alito displayed an
inverted flag (a symbol used by insurrectionists) days after the
January 6 attack on Congress and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag (also used
by insurrectionists and Christian nationalists) in 2023.
 4. Ginni Thomas's Activism: Thomas faced criticism for not recusing from
cases linked to the 2020 election, which his wife actively tried to
overturn.
 5. Thomas's Unpaid RV Loan: A Senate investigation highlighted that
Thomas was not asked to repay a significant “loan” from a wealthy
businessman used for a luxury RV purchase.
 6. Thomas at Koch Network Events: Thomas attended Koch network donor
summits without disclosing his participation or travel.
 7. Alito's Undisclosed Fishing Trip: Alito took an undisclosed luxury
vacation hosted by billionaire Paul Singer, who paid for his travel on
a private jet and who has had interests before the Court.
 8. Alito and Hobby Lobby Leak: A conservative activist allegedly knew the
2014 Burwell v. Hobby Lobby decision outcome in advance after dining
with Alito.

Eight significant ethical breaches. That’s eight too many.

President Biden has called for common sense court reform to get SCOTUS
back in check. He’s proposing implementing 18-year term limits for
justices and a binding code of conduct that would prevent any of the
justices from deciding cases where they have a conflict of interest and
would also require them to disclose gifts.

[ [link removed] ]Join us in calling on Congress to support President Biden’s Supreme
Court reforms!>>

By raising our voices and demanding that Congress take action, we can make
the Supreme Court a pillar of justice and fairness, not a tool the wealthy
and well-connected can manipulate for their own gain.
