Hi, I’m a constituent from Santa Monica and a member of Indivisible Westside Los Angeles. I urge you, as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to push for an investigation into corruption on the Supreme Court. The American people deserve a full airing of the breaches of law and ethics in our nation's highest court. Justice Thomas’ and Alito’s repeated failures over decades to disclose that they received millions of dollars in gifts from individuals with business before the Court is explicitly against the law. And their refusal to recuse from the specific matters and cases before the court in which their benefactors and spouses are implicated represents nothing less than a constitutional crisis. Given the court’s demonstrated inability to preserve its own legitimate conduct, it is incumbent upon Congress to contain the threat this poses to our democracy and the hundreds of millions of Americans harmed by the crisis of corruption unfurling within the court. The Senate Judiciary Committee must exercise its oversight duty to hold hearings, issue subpoenas, and enforce those subpoenas. Please urge Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin to hold hearings into SCOTUS corruption and conflicts of interest. Thank you for your time and attention.
