The Supreme Court’s toothless code of ethics is a joke. Tell your legislators to pass a real one.

See ProPublica’s report on Clarence Thomas’ corruption here (Harlan Crow) and here (Koch Network). The video report is here.

Act now: Call/email your legislators to call out SCOTUS corruption!

Minimal email/call script for representatives: I’m calling from [zip code] and I want Rep. [___] to know that we are not falling for the Supreme Court’s new enforcement-free “code of conduct” that continues to privilege wealthy conservative billlionaires over the interests of the rest of us. It also gives a free pass to misconduct that could have affected earlier decisions and discourages recusals in future ones. I want to thank Rep. [Brownley/Carbajal] for co-sponsoring H.R. 926 the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, which creates a way to investigate and disqualify corrupted justices.

Tues 9/4: MORE actions for today’s SCOTUS hearing! – updated 12:17 pm. Women getting arrested at the hearing. Donate for bail!

#1 – Make the calls – they are starting to scare the GOP and strengthen dissent against Kavanaugh

Polls are coming in and the GOP is getting nervous. Just tested this and it takes less than 6 minutes to leave short messages of support with staff at ALL of Feinstein and Harris’s offices. Especially if you set your phone up like this. Line for Fresno is busy? Call back at your next coffee break.

They’re not your senators? Go here. If your senators are perfectly OK with killing Roe v. Wade, as well as protections for pre-existing conditions, affordable healthcare, the environment, worker’s rights, seniors, students, LGBTQ people, the poor and the middle class, while protecting a possible crook and corporations, then spend that 6 minutes telling them, at every one of their offices, that you’ll send them packing boxes for after the election.

Contact your Senator:
Senator Feinstein: email DC (202) 224-3841, LA (310) 914-7300, SF (415) 393-0707, SD (619) 231-9712, Fresno (559) 485-7430
and Senator Harris: email DC (202) 224-3553, LA (213) 894-5000, SAC (916) 448-2787, Fresno (559) 497-5109, SF (415) 355-9041, SD (619) 239-3884

Tues 7/10: Trump chose the smarmy lapdog for the hard-right. Now what?

(from Indivisible National)

It’s happened: Trump has announced his nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. On July 9th, Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and set the stage for a monumental shift in the Court’s makeup. If Trump is successful at getting Kavanaugh confirmed, the Court will work to preserve the Trump agenda for decades to come.

Key issues that affect us all hang in the balance, including reproductive rights, access to health care, LGBTQ rights, environmental protections, and much more. Further, the next Supreme Court justice could rule on cases involving Trump himself, whether resulting from the Mueller investigation or otherwise.

Brett Kavanaugh is one of the most cravenly partisan choices Trump could have made. He has been called the “Forrest Gump of Republican politics” because he always seems to show up in high-profile far-right conspiracy theories and political battles.

Here’s what you need to know about his nomination to the Supreme Court.
