Сообщите Конгрессу: богатые спонсоры не должны контролировать наш Верховный суд
Ослабленные правила раскрытия информации, принятые Конференцией судей, неприемлемы и позволят богатым спонсорам тайно покупать влияние на Верховный суд — за счет простых американцев.
Конгресс должен положить этому конец сейчас, приняв Закон об этике, отводах и прозрачности Верховного суда и создав максимально строгий Кодекс поведения для нашего высшего суда.
Supreme Court justices just got the green light to continue being wined and dined by billionaires, special interests, and big corporations – and now they don’t even have to disclose most of it to the public!
That’s right: despite public outcry over Justice Clarence Thomas accepting luxury trips from conservative billionaire Harlan Crow, the Judicial Conference – which oversees federal courts – just made it easier for wealthy donors to secretly influence our highest court. [1]
These new loosened rules would likely allow Justice Thomas to get away with hiding several of his previous stays at Harlan Crow’s properties. [1]
We deserve better than this. With the stroke of a pen, the Supreme Court makes far-reaching decisions on reproductive rights, environmental protections, the freedom to vote, and so much more – affecting millions of people every day.
We deserve the full truth about the lavish gifts megadonors provide justices with – and what, if anything, they expect to get in return.
With your help, we can uncover their attempts to curry favor with justices by passing a strong Supreme Court Code of Conduct to hold justices to the same high ethical standards as every other federal judge.
Add your name to urge Congress to finally pass a REAL, enforceable Supreme Court Code of Conduct.
