Last week, new reporting from The Lever continued to reveal more of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' corruption.
In August 2021, the Court and its far-right majority voted to strike down a federal moratorium on evictions that was originally enacted by the CDC during the height of the pandemic.
Yes, this is the very same eviction moratorium that Cori fought to extend by protesting outside the Capitol for five days straight.
Cori fought for the people — despite the rain, the heat, the cold, and all the pessimism that nothing could be done — and won, preventing millions from being evicted.
...All while Thomas voted to end the eviction ban twice.
While Cori was putting her health and safety on the line to fight for the people, Clarence Thomas was voting to evict millions while accepting luxury gifts and trips from conservative billionaires.
At the time of voting on the eviction moratorium, Thomas failed to disclose his relationship with billionaire Harlan Crow a GOP mega donor whose company was fighting to end the moratorium in the name of increasing their profits. This is a clear conflict of interest, yet Thomas did not recuse himself from the case.
For nearly two decades, Justice Thomas was lavished with luxury gifts and trips and purchases of property, flagrantly violating longstanding federal ethics rules. And we can't forget his history of history of sexual harassment and abuse.
Justice Thomas shouldn't hold public office, let alone a permanent spot on the highest Court in the country. Every single day Justice Thomas remains on the bench, he disgraces the integrity of the Supreme Court with his complete disregard for ethical standards.
That's why Cori was the first member of the House Judiciary Committee to call for Clarence Thomas' impeachment.
Thank you for taking action today.
In solidarity,
— Team Cori
