Friend,
You know by now that while the Supreme Court is supposed to be unbiased, the Justices have been involved in partisan politics and ethics scandals for years now. Just last week, it was revealed that after the January 6th insurrection, Justice Alito flew an upside down flag outside his house- a symbol of the lie that Trump won the 2020 election.
The Supreme Court is meant to be nonpartisan and completely unbiased, but this recent revelation clearly shows that Justice Samuel Alito sides with the January 6th insurrectionists and will most likely not uphold our precious Democracy. The Court is hearing cases about Trump’s role in the insurrection and the rioters themselves and this is just one more example of how we can no longer assume the Justices will be unswayed by politics.
The rampant corruption on the Supreme Court has led to rulings wildly out of step with public opinion and caused distrust among the American people. We need to pass the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act as soon as possible. This way we can prevent further corruption in our Supreme Court by improving the financial disclosure process, strengthening recusal standards, and creating an enforceable code of conduct for the Court, something that, clearly, it is in desperate need of.
