Tell Senator Durbin to do his Job and Investigate SCOTUS Corruption
The Supreme Court term is finally over, with the MAGA supermajority leaving a string of disastrous decisions in their wake. This past month they:
- Criminalized homelessness
- Overturned a ban on bump stocks, leaving us all more vulnerable to gun violence
- Empowered themselves, as unelected and unqualified justices, to make policy decisions instead of agency experts and elected Members of Congress
- Sent two abortion cases back to the lower courts to stall the decisions, give MAGA judges more opportunities to restrict abortion access, and continue to let states implement more abortion and reproductive care bans
- Made it harder for the Department of Justice to prosecute January 6 insurrectionists
- Agreed that Trump has immunity for his crimes related to January 6, ensuring that his federal trials will be stalled until after the election
It’s completely unsurprising that the MAGA justices on the court ruled in favor of big corporations, special interests, and Donald Trump – they’ve demonstrated time and again that’s where their loyalty lies, not to the Constitution or the American people.
Republican billionaires and dark-money groups have been buying influence with Clarence Thomas for years: taking him on luxury vacations on private jets and megayachts, gifting him free RVs, buying and renovating his mom’s house for her, and paying the private school tuition for one of his family members.
And then Samuel Alito has been caught flying flags supporting the January 6 insurrection about his houses multiple times, displaying his loyalty to the MAGA movement for his whole neighborhood to see.
It’s clear that these MAGA justices cannot be fair and impartial arbiters of the law. In fact, our democracy is in danger the longer that they have the majority on the bench.
We need Senator Durbin, as chair of the Judiciary Committee, to lead a thorough investigation to hold these justices accountable. He must continue the investigation into Thomas and launch an investigation into Alito. He should also investigate the role that Chief Justice Roberts has played in the corruption. And he should not be afraid to subpoena justices, if necessary.
Fill out this form right now to call Senator Durbin. Let him know that you’re outraged by the corruption on the Supreme Court and that you expect him to do what’s necessary to investigate corruption on the court, including subpoenaing Justices Alito, Roberts, and Thomas.

Step up and Investigate MAGA Corruption on the Supreme Court
I’m an Illinois constituent and I am counting on you to do your job as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and investigate the corrupt MAGA justices on the Supreme Court.
I am outraged by the Supreme Court’s decisions this term. The MAGA supermajority on the court has continued to roll back our rights and freedoms, while ruling in favor of Trump, right-wing billionaires, and special interests.
We know that these MAGA justices are corrupt. Clarence Thomas has accepted millions of dollars in gifts from Republican donors and far-right dark money groups. Samuel Alito has been caught flying flags that support Trump and the January 6 insurrection over two of his homes.
These justices cannot be counted on to be fair arbiters of the law and we cannot trust the Supreme Court while they are on the bench.
I expect you to use all of the power you hold as chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee to hold these MAGA justices accountable. You must continue the investigation into Thomas and launch an investigation into Alito, and subpoena both justices if necessary. You cannot wait to act, our democracy hangs in the balance.
Your call to demand Senator Durbin investigate SCOTUS corruption makes all the difference! ! Tell all of your friends in Illinois to call as well.
