Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch finally recused himself from a case that could benefit his Big Oil friends, after more than 38,000 Common Cause members demanded it! [1]

We demanded his recusal because we know what’s at stake, and that justices – in this case and every other – must rule based on the law and the facts, NOT personal or financial interests.

But the truth is, it shouldn’t take a massive public pressure campaign to get justices to do the right thing and follow their own ethical code – it should be the law.

This is a crucial win – but it also illustrates exactly what’s wrong with our broken ethics system: the Supreme Court’s weak code of conduct is voluntary and unenforceable, so justices are not required to recuse themselves from cases that would benefit them personally or financially.

The only way to ensure justices recuse themselves from ALL cases where they have conflicts of interest is with a strong, enforceable Code of Conduct. Add your name to demand one today.
