CREW has been working hard for months on this, and just released a new report identifying 35 rogue election officials across the country who have *already* refused to certify election results and may be in a position to do so again. We focused on the eight states where county officials have unlawfully refused to certify elections since 2020: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan. But we didn’t just identify the problems and threats—we also laid out the legal remedies available to state and federal authorities, as well as voters.

Today, for the sake of our democracy, we are calling on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to resign. Our decision to call for Justice Alito’s resignation comes with great sorrow and concern for the state of our democracy. But at a time when our system of checks and balances is under threat, a respected and unassailable Supreme Court is absolutely essential. Alito is undermining Americans’ trust in the Court and appears to be violating not just the Supreme Court’s Code of Conduct, but the law. Despite his homes flying flags associated with January 6th and the “Stop the Steal” movement, Alito took part in three cases that determined how Donald Trump could be held accountable for his role in the insurrection: He ruled to limit the Department of Justice’s ability to charge insurrectionists with obstruction an official proceeding, He ruled that Trump and other former presidents should have broad legal immunity, and In our 14th Amendment lawsuit, he ruled that states could not enforce Trump’s constitutional disqualification from the ballot for inciting insurrection. All of this raises serious concerns about his impartiality, but instead of taking accountability for his actions, Alito has repeatedly deflected blame, failed to live up to his ethical obligations and even his own public promises and refused to acknowledge that his actions have contributed to the public’s faltering confidence in the Court. By continuing to sit on the Court, Alito does nothing but further diminish its credibility. He must resign.

Wondering what CREW's research team has been up to? They went through 13,000 of Donald Trump's Truth Social posts, and found that he keeps threatening his enemies with FBI raids, investigations, indictments and jail time. Here's our new analysis on Trump's fixation on revenge, with a call to action to Congress to prevent the worst-case scenario:

Read our new op-ed in Just Security on how Congress can act to help restore public trust in all three branches of government – but most importantly in our Supreme Court.
The #SupremeCourt’s new #ethics code fails to deliver meaningful reform, write Virgina Canter and Gabe Lezra of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). This outcome is tied to how the Court sees public corruption law, they argue – which #Congress could reform to restore public trust at a critical moment. #SCOTUS https://lnkd.in/eZr7Aw5f
At the Supreme Court, Public Corruption Jurisprudence and Lack of Meaningful Ethics Reform Go Hand-in-Hand
