We Need to Hold the Supreme Court Accountable

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land. They hand down decisions that affect the entire country for generations. They should be held to the highest level of ethical conduct and scrutiny.

Except there’s no established code of conduct that the nine justices can be held to. Right now, the nine members of the Supreme Court are the only federal judges in the United States that don’t have a code of ethics they’re meant to follow. That’s why it’s difficult to hold Justice Clarence Thomas accountable for failing to recuse himself from cases before the court related to the January 6th insurrection, despite clear conflicts of interest.

No one is above the law—even the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to demand accountability.

In one click, send a pre-written email to your legislators demanding they hold a full investigation into Clarence Thomas’s unethical actions and pass a long overdue code of ethics for the Supreme Court.

Recently, major news outlets reported that Ginni Thomas exchanged text messages with Mark Meadows, Trump’s former Chief of Staff, telling the White House not to concede the 2020 election and echoing the same “Big Lie” conspiracy theories that sparked the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol.

Despite her attendance at the January 6th rally in D.C. and her clear support for the cause, her husband, Clarence Thomas failed to recuse himself from Supreme Court cases related to January 6th. On the contrary—he was the only justice to vote against granting the January 6th Select Committee access to key Trump administration documents related to the insurrection.

This is a clear conflict of interest and is blatantly unethical. But unlike every other federal judge in the nation, Supreme Court justices aren’t beholden to any structured code of conduct.

As a voter and your constituent, I'm urging you to launch a full investigation in Clarence Thomas’s actions and to pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act (H.R. 7647 / S.4188), which would introduce a long overdue code of ethics for the Supreme Court.

No one is above the law—even the Supreme Court. It’s time for accountability.
