Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about war and peace, democracy, the climate catastrophe, and economic and racial justice, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Senate Judiciary Committee Scrutinizes Supreme Court Ethics Amid Mounting Scandals

HeadlineMay 02, 2023

The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on Supreme Court ethics reform today amid a mounting series of scandals among justices. In recent weeks, it’s been revealed that Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a property he co-owned to the head of a major law firm that has since had 22 cases before the Supreme Court. And ProPublica reports Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose gifts and payments from Texas billionaire and conservative activist Harlan Crow. In the latest revelations, Business Insider reports the wife of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was paid $10.3 million in commissions as a job recruiter placing lawyers at elite law firms. Jane Sullivan Roberts earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from one law firm that argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts.
