New Clarence Thomas Ethics Violations Break Public Trust and Highlight Need for Supreme Court Reform

Following new reporting by the New York Times of yet another undisclosed luxury trip provided to Justice Thomas, courtesy of Harlan Crow, Demand Justice Managing Director Maggie Jo Buchanan released the following statement:

“These new reports are as appalling as they are unsurprising. Justice Thomas’s actions and —critically—the Chief Justice’s refusal to assure the public that the Court takes these never-ending revelations seriously, shows the necessity of meaningful and immediate reform. Trust for the Supreme Court remains at historic lows in part because the MAGA justices openly display their allegiances to wealthy billionaires and partisan interests instead of the public, whom they are meant to serve. We call on Congress to urgently pass full-scale reform, including an enforceable code of ethics as President Biden proposed last week.”

Demand Justice is a progressive movement fighting to restore the ideological balance and legitimacy of the federal courts by advocating for court reform and vigorously opposing extreme nominees.
