This is an excerpt from testimony delivered this month before the House Judiciary Committee by Reverend Robert Schenck — a longtime anti-abortion activist turned whistleblower — who’s exposed a decades-long campaign by wealthy right-wing activists to sway the conservative justices in some of the biggest cases of the last few years.

There are thousands of judges in this country, but only nine of them do not have to abide by a binding code of ethics. We have trusted Supreme Court justices to police themselves — but time and time again, they have failed.

Earlier this week, I broke down the historic number of ethics scandals coming out of the Court this year. I’m glad some of our champions in Congress are leading the fight to hold them accountable, but it’s clear we need to do more. 

Add your name if you agree: The Court's woefully inadequate approach to ethics is not going to cut it — Congress must act now to hold this out-of-control Court to account.

Thanks for being a part of this fight,
