An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Investigate Clarance Thomas

I am writing to you today to express my deep concern over the recent revelations regarding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his relationship with Republican donor Harlan Crowe. As you may be aware, Mr. Crowe has been making significant tuition payments for Justice Thomas's grandnephew, Mark Martin, to attend private schools, including one that cost over $73,000 per year in the early 2000s. This situation is deeply troubling for several reasons. First and foremost, it raises serious questions about conflicts of interest and ethical behavior on the part of Justice Thomas. As a Supreme Court Justice, he is entrusted with upholding the law and serving the American people with impartiality and integrity. Yet his acceptance of such significant financial assistance from a wealthy donor, particularly one with clear political leanings, raises serious questions about his ability to do so. Secondly, it is deeply concerning that Mr. Crowe has been able to use his wealth and influence to essentially buy access and influence with a Supreme Court Justice. This is the type of behavior that erodes public trust in our institutions and undermines our democracy. Finally, it is deeply disturbing that Mr. Crowe and Justice Thomas appear to be using language about "helping at-risk youth" as cover for their actions. Mr. Crowe's attempts to spin his assistance to Mark Martin as an act of charity are disingenuous at best, given the fact that Martin was living with Justice Thomas, who had already taken on the responsibility of caring for him. Moreover, it is deeply troubling that Mr. Crowe appears to be co-opting the language of social justice to justify what is essentially a backdoor attempt to influence a Supreme Court Justice. In light of these revelations, I urge you to take action to investigate Justice Thomas's relationship with Mr. Crowe and ensure that appropriate safeguards are put in place to prevent this type of behavior from occurring in the future. The American people deserve a Supreme Court that is free from undue influence and that operates with the utmost integrity and impartiality.
