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.

The problem? 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.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. With the stroke of a pen, these nine justices make far-reaching decisions on reproductive rights, environmental protections, immigration, 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.

If you agree the highest court in the land should be held to the highest ethical standards, sign our petition urging Congress to pass a stronger, binding code of conduct.
