Jack, our nation's highest court is drowning in a sea of corruption. Every federal judge in this country--except the nine justices of the Supreme Court--is bound by a code of ethics designed to prevent misconduct. And SCOTUS justices have failed to recuse themselves multiple times when faced with a case with a conflict of interest.
Sign and send the petition: Pass the Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act
SIGN THE PETITION
Even though his wife Ginni Thomas participated in the insurrection and actively tried to overturn Arizona election results, Justice Clarence Thomas has not recused himself from any of the cases involving January 6. Americans for Prosperity spent $1 million to get Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the Court, and yet she did not recuse herself from a case in which they were the defendant. Multiple justices have also failed to recuse themselves from cases involving corporations in which they hold shares.
Without a code of ethics, justices have no incentive to recuse themselves when prudent. The conservative radicals on the Court have no constraints on their remarkable and vast powers to ensure they adhere to the ethical standards we expect from our judiciary.
It's time to hold Supreme Court justices accountable. Sign and send the petition: Pass the Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act
SIGN THE PETITION
