Talking Points: The Corrupt Supreme Court

• The Court is corrupt and unaccountable and the majority of Americans view it in this light.

• This election is about so much more than Biden and Trump – it’s about removing corruption from the highest court in the land that has so much impact on our lives

• There are no guardrails and this Supreme Court has demonstrated time and again it is willing to rule for the sake of extreme political ideology.

• We must push the case that we cannot allow a Republican president to appoint any more extreme justices to the court.

• They have gone against precedent time and again to take away our freedoms – most obviously, removing women’s reproductive rights – to push a right wing, Christian nationalist  ideology.

• Two of the justices refuse to recuse on cases that they have clear conflicts of interest in.

  • Clarence Thomas has received millions of dollars in gifts and business interests from a man who regularly has business before the court. He has not recused

  • Clarence Thomas’s wife was intimately involved in the insurrection plot to overturn the 2020 election. He has not recused in any related matters.

  • Samuel Alito flew an upside down flag indicating support for the insurrection and refuses to recuse in any related cases.

• There are no repercussions for such corruption, but the Democrats in Congress are pushing for a requirement for financial disclosure for all Supreme Court Justices.
