Justice Samuel Alito or his wife leaked confidential information about a
pending contraception case to a right-wing group’s wealthy donors,
according to witness testimony given at a House committee hearing this
week.
John, the American people's confidence in our democracy itself
is being shaken by this Court’s ethical lapses, corruption, and political
rulings that consistently go against the rule of law and will of the
people. And the problem goes far beyond this allegation about Justice
Alito.
With Sen. Raphael Warnock’s victory giving Senate Democrats a 51-49
majority and the power to investigate and issue subpoenas, it is time for
the U.S. Senate to investigate corruption and ethical lapses at this
Supreme Court.

crisis. The U.S. Senate must launch a full investigation and take steps to
restore the American people’s trust and confidence in the Supreme Court."
We will share the support for this petition with the media, the White
House, and key allies in Congress.
Rulings by this court striking down abortion rights, voting rights
protections, common-sense state and local gun regulations, federal efforts
to combat climate change, and more -- against the will of the people --
have shaken the American people’s confidence in this Court and our
democracy overall.
The New York Times reports that Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito all met
with representatives of a right-wing group lobbying to influence the
Court’s decisions.
Justice Clarence Thomas has repeatedly intervened in cases involving
efforts to overturn the 2020 election, despite obvious conflicts of
interest that exist because of his wife’s involvement in those efforts.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett sat for oral arguments in a case being litigated
by an organization that has paid her for at least five speaking
engagements since 2011.
On three separate occasions, Chief Justice John Roberts has failed to
recuse himself from cases before the Court in which he owned stock related
to one of the parties.
Justices Alito and Brett Kavanaugh met with the head of an anti-LGBTQ
group that had filed a brief in a case for which the Court heard oral
arguments less than three weeks earlier.
Justice Neil Gorsuch spoke to a conservative group at the Trump
International Hotel shortly after Trump nominated him to the Court and
less than two weeks before the Court heard oral arguments in a case
challenging Trump’s Muslim travel ban.
It is long past time for Supreme Court justices to be held accountable --
and that can begin with a full investigation by the U.S. Senate into
ethical lapses and accusations of corruption at the Supreme Court.
