We are thrilled that our post Deja vu all over again - Justice Clarence Thomas Violates Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges received such enthusiastic support and that initial goal of 200,000 signatures is now surpassed and the number stands at the moment at 206,745 (the goal was increased now to 300,000), We also appreciate one of the suggestion that petition should be also addressed to the other branches of the US Government. We completely agree with this suggestion and that is why we created a new petition IT IS TIME FOR CONGRESS TO PASS H.R. 2902: SUPREME COURT ETHICS ACT OF 2013 addressed to the US Congress and President Obama.
Even ahead of Justice Thomas' most recent indiscretion Rep. Louise Slaughter [D-NY] on Aug 01, 2013 introduced bill H.R. 2902: SUPREME COURT ETHICS ACT OF 2013. You can read text and all other details related to the Bill by following this link. We just want to point out that without us, Citizens of United States of America, the chances of this Bill passing are next to none -- 11% chance of getting past committee 2% chance of being enacted. Of course, you will be right to assume that only House Democrats, 59 of them, cosponsored this bill so far. That is why it is so important to send a strong message to the Congress that we, Citizens and voters, are strongly supporting this bill.
We urge you, please, sign this petition, spread the word and put pressure on the members of the Congress to enact this Bill.
