Sign the petition: AOC's push to impeach Thomas and Alito, Thomas' secret trip to Russia

 

TELL THE U.S. HOUSE: Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been embroiled in ethics scandals and had glaring conflicts of interest in the Trump immunity case. Sign the petition: Impeach Thomas and Alito!


Senate Democrats released a damning report accusing Clarence Thomas of brand new ethics violations (and tax fraud) to add to his long, running list of scandals.1

One of Thomas’ newest ethics violations, revealed in a Senate Democratic letter to the DOJ, is an undisclosed yacht trip to Russia paid for by one of his GOP billionaire mega-donor benefactors, Harlan Crow.2

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito because of all of the lavish gifts, luxury paid-for travel, and conflicts of interest surrounding the justices, GOP billionaires, corporations, and shadowy conservative networks. Thomas and Alito are a threat to our democracy and they must be impeached.

Sign the petition: The list of corruption scandals is long and keeps growing. Impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito!

Despite Thomas and Alito’s clear conflicts of interest in the Trump immunity case, they both refused to recuse themselves.

Thomas shouldn’t have ruled on the case because his wife, Ginni Thomas, attended the January 6 Stop the Steal rally and pleaded with senior White House staff to help Trump overturn the election in the days leading up to the insurrection.3

Alito shouldn’t have ruled on the case because a Stop the Steal style flag was flying over his house. The flag flew as the Court considered whether or not to take on a critical election case in the days after the Capitol riots, just before President Biden was sworn in.4

This dangerous ruling giving presidents absolute immunity along with Thomas’ long list of ethics violations, including plenty involving Harlan Crow, and Alito’s corruption scandals all add up to a clear case for impeachment.

Sign the petition: Impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
