Even that is only the beginning. It’s time for us to have a bigger conversation about reforming the court. The highest court of the land isn’t so high that it should be above the law or beyond the reach of our democracy. /end.

There’s no need to wait – Congress could pass a SCOTUS code of ethics in its end of year spending bill next month. Both parties have spoken in the past on this issue, so there’s no reason it shouldn’t be passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. 6/.

No matter the result of the investigation, the mere perception of a court in the pocket of wealthy donors begs for action. Let’s all tell Congress it’s time to pass a law imposing a binding, enforceable code of ethics on SCOTUS, just the same as there is for all other judges. 5/.

This isn’t the first time the integrity of the court has come into serious question. Justice Thomas chose not to recuse himself in litigation around the 2020 presidential election despite reports of his wife’s involvement in efforts to fraudulently overturn the election. 4/.

If Chief Justice Roberts cares about the legitimacy of his court, he must order a full investigation into the allegations, with full transparency to the public. As representatives with direct accountability to the people, Congress must do the same, and leave no stone unturned. 3/.

There’s more to learn here, but what we know is that a key figure in the alleged incident came forward as a whistleblower in a letter to the chief justice. And the whistleblower has now shared a long paper trail of contemporaneous emails, etc. with @nytimes. 2/.

The shocking allegations that Justice Alito leaked the decision in the 2014 Hobby Lobby case should wake up all Americans to the need to reform the Supreme Court. 1/.

This is wonky until you've been ripped off by a business or your employer steals your wages - and then told you can't go to court. Important step forward today for workers and consumers, but Sen. McConnell will need some convincing. .

This would not be great for the whistleblower, whose job and clearance would be in jeopardy, but the nation needs to know what they've reported - and we can't rely on the Trump Administration to follow the law, which already required the DNI to share this info.

If the acting DNI continues to stonewall efforts to learn about "credible" & "urgent" information from a whistleblower, the House can ask the whistleblower to testify. If they refuse due to fear of prosecution for sharing classified info, the House can vote to give them immunity.
