Team,

Let’s take a look at so-called “personal hospitality” at the Supreme Court.

You’re a Supreme Court justice and you’re thinking that you’d like to take a vacation. So, you arrange for someone to contact the owner of your favorite resort. That resort owner then sends you a personal invitation to stay there.

Supreme Court practice would call this “personal hospitality” — which means that the free vacation doesn’t have to be disclosed. There’s no requirement for the owner to say who comped the justice’s stay. And the American people have no way of knowing whether the person who picks up the tab has business before the Court. No other federal court — or federal agency — would allow that.

It’s pretty obvious this raises serious ethical questions.

I’m working on solutions to the big problems at the Court. I have a bill to improve disclosure of travel and hospitality for judges and to strengthen recusal standards at the Supreme Court. I’m asking for your help today so that I can continue my work to clean up this mess.

Will you make a donation of $5 or more to my campaign?

The American people deserve a Supreme Court they can trust to make decisions fairly and impartially.

Thanks again for all of your support. This is a really important fight.
