Sign the petition to Congress: Stop the corruption! The Supreme Court must be made to follow basic ethics standards

Friend, [sign the petition to Congress: Stop the corruption! The Supreme Court must be made to follow basic ethics standards.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Every federal judge in this country–except the nine justices of the Supreme Court–is bound by a code of ethics that prevents blatant conflicts of interest. Amid Justice Clarence Thomas’ [latest]( (of many) conflict-of-interest red flags, it is clear we need transparency and accountability in the highest court of the land. Corrupt actions by sitting justices only serves to further erode the court’s integrity and the public’s trust in that court. Supreme Court Justices must be held to account for flouting the ethical rules that apply to every other judge in the country. Congress can ensure that by passing the Supreme Court Ethics Act. [Sign the petition to Congress: Pass the Supreme Court Ethics Act.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Justice Thomas has a long history of conflicts of interest, many of which involve his wife, Ginni, including her involvement in the January 6 plot to overthrow our government. Despite this, Justice Thomas refuses to recuse himself from cases related to January 6. Chief Justice John Roberts also has a serious ethics conflict due to the work of his spouse, Jane Roberts. Yet, there has been NO accountability for these glaring conflicts of interest. The American people's confidence in our democracy itself was already shaken by this Court’s political rulings that consistently go against the will of the people–striking down Roe, gutting voting rights protections, overturning common-sense state and local gun regulations, and attacking federal efforts to combat climate change. We must restore transparency and accountability in the U.S. Supreme Court. We are calling on Congress to ensure that by passing the Supreme Court Ethics Act.
