Hi,

According to Trump lawyers Justice Clarence Thomas was their “only chance”
to stop certification of fair 2020 election results in Biden’s favor.^1
That’s because his wife Ginni Thomas was texting with Trump’s former Chief
of Staff Mark Meadows about the insurrection and pressuring lawmakers at
the state and federal level to throw out election results.

But that’s not all. Clarence Thomas was also the only justice on the
Supreme Court to side with Trump in a case about whether the January 6th
Committee could access Trump’s White House records. And that’s still not
all. Clarence Thomas also shielded Senator Lindsay Graham from testifying
before a grand jury about election meddling in Georgia.

Congress needs to hold Justice Thomas accountable for his unethical
behavior. They can do that by opening an investigation into Thomas’
conflicts of interest now, before he does something even more egregious.

If Congress doesn’t act now, Clarence Thomas could be allowed to rule on a
case with terrifying implications for our democracy: Moore v. Harper.
Essentially, the court will determine whether states can overturn election
results and ignore the will of the people.^2

Justice Thomas has already demonstrated he’s unable to rule fairly on
cases pertaining to Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. He
protected Lindsay Graham and, in January 2021, was the only justice who
sided with Trump in a case determining whether the January 6th Committee
could access Trump White House records.^3

Just two months later, we learned the extent of his wife’s involvement in
the Trump coup attempt. Ginni Thomas texted with Trump’s former Chief of
Staff Mark Meadows about the insurrection and pressured lawmakers at the
state and federal levels to throw out the fairly-determined election
results.^3 Given Ginni Thomas’s actions and potential liability, there’s
no way Clarence Thomas can be trusted to rule fairly in Moore v. Harper or
other Trump-related cases.

Luckily, legislation addressing SCOTUS conflicts of interest is pending in
Congress right now. The Judicial Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act would ban
Members of the court from trading individual stocks, requiring the court
to adopt a Code of Ethics, overhauling the recusal process, and more.^3

Without a code of ethics, SCOTUS is simply ignoring our demands for basic
ethical conduct.^4 Clarence Thomas stands with Trump and Lindsay Graham.
We need a SCOTUS Code of Ethics — now!
