대법원 윤리
대법원 판사는 매년 수백만 명의 사람들에게 영향을 미치는 판결을 내리지만, 다른 연방 판사들과 동일한 윤리 기준을 적용받지는 않습니다.
공정한 법원
A strong democracy requires protecting everyone’s constitutional rights and ensuring our courts are fair and impartial.
Fair courts are one of the foundations of democracy. Yet today, Supreme Court judges are not held to a binding code of ethics, while many state-level judges are forced to raise money from special interests to sit on the bench, or are selected through an unfair process.
Common Cause advocates for transparency and fairness when it comes to picking judges and shaping our courts. Ensuring that judges are beholden only to the law and keeping courtrooms fair are keys to building a strong 21st-century democracy.

의회에 말하세요: SCOTUS를 책임지우세요
의회는 지금 당장 과감한 조치를 취해 강력하고 구속력 있는 대법원 행동강령을 통과시키고 대통령 면책권에 대한 대법원의 재앙적인 판결을 뒤집어야 합니다.
이러한 중대한 개혁은 대통령이나 판사 등 누구도 법 위에 있지 않다는 것을 보장할 것입니다.

우리에게는 진정한 대법원 행동 강령이 필요합니다.
대법원의 약하고 자발적인 "행동 강령"은 우리에게 필요한 것에 미치지 못합니다. 우리는 지금 당장 실질적이고 집행 가능한 윤리 기준을 요구합니다.
의회는 대법원 윤리, 기피 및 투명성법을 통과시키고 최고 법원을 위한 가장 강력한 행동 강령을 만들어야 합니다.
귀하의 재정 지원은 우리가 다음과 같은 영향을 미치는 데 도움이 됩니다. 권력에 책임을 묻는다 민주주의를 강화합니다.

Newsweek: Clarence Thomas Failing to Note Wife Ginni’s $680k Side Income Resurfaces
Law professor Michele Goodwin shared the 2011 article from The Los Angeles Times on Twitter on Monday and tagged Common Cause, the watchdog group that initially reported on Thomas' failure to disclose his wife's income from the Heritage Foundation.
Retweeting Goodwin, Common Cause wrote: "We reviewed Justice Thomas' financial disclosure filings years ago and found that he failed to disclose his wife's income ($686,589) from the Heritage Foundation. We'll keep calling out Ginni Thomas until we have an ethical Supreme Court."
