Outrage grows as justice revealed to have accepted further luxury gifts from Republican billionaire donor
Michigan’s Democratic representative Rashida Tlaib has called for justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to be removed from the supreme court after a series of scandals surrounding their acceptance of luxury gifts.
In an address yesterday, Tlaib said:
“I know we need urgent action to hold these unhinged, corrupt extremists accountable. It is extremely disturbing that the United States supreme court, the highest court of our land, is the only court that does not having enforceable code of conducts…
It’s time to expand the supreme court. It’s time for reforms… We need to enact term limits to supreme court justices and enforce binding code of conducts, real reforms and expedite impeachment proceedings.”
“As a result of our investigation and subpoena authorization, we are providing the American public greater clarity on the extent of ethical lapses by supreme court justices and the need for ethics reform.
Despite an approval rating near all-time lows and never-ending, self-inflicted scandals, Chief Justice Roberts still refuses to use his existing authority to implement an enforceable code of conduct. Until he acts, we will continue our push for the supreme court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act to become law.”
