Petition: We need a SCOTUS code of conduct

Do you think our highest court should have the highest ethical standards?

SIGN NOW: Congress must hold the Supreme Court accountable >> Pamela, do you think our highest court should have the highest ethical standards? Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sure does. This week, she signaled support for a binding Supreme Court Code of Conduct – a huge victory for our push to pass this commonsense reform. [1] Justice Jackson made it clear: there's no reason why Supreme Court justices shouldn't be accountable to the same strong ethical standards that every other federal judge is held to. Let's join in her call to action and urge Congress to take bold action for Supreme Court ethics. If you agree, add your name to tell Congress to pass the strongest possible Supreme Court Code of Conduct and hold our highest court to the highest ethical standards. SIGN THE PETITION The Supreme Court finally adopted a "code of conduct" last year – after over 100,000 Common Cause members demanded one following countless ethical violations from Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. But the problem is, their "code of conduct" isn't binding or enforceable in any way – meaning it likely wouldn't have prevented these major scandals in the first place! Let's face it, trusting the Supreme Court to operate under the honor system is what got us into this mess. The Supreme Court's half-measure is no substitute for binding, enforceable congressional action. This is our time to take action – can you add your name today to demand that our nation's highest court is held to the highest ethical standards? The stakes couldn't be higher. With the stroke of a pen, these nine justices make far-reaching decisions on reproductive rights, environmental protections, our freedom to vote, and so much more – affecting millions of people every day. We must ensure nothing but the pursuit of law and justice factors into these important decisions. That's why Common Cause has been sounding the alarm on justices' ethical lapses for over a decade – and why we won't stop until they're held to the highest ethical standards.
