Hello,

We’re writing today to ask you to take a quick but important action: tell your member of Congress to support the High Court Gift Ban Act!

Why is this important?

Unlike federal judges, Members of Congress, and executive branch officers, US Supreme Court justices have no binding regulations restricting their freedom to accept gifts. Some Justices have been taking outrageous advantage of this loophole, collecting from their friends and allies' “gifts” worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The High Court Gift Ban Act for Supreme Court Justices (H.R. 8830) would cap the value of gifts justices are allowed to receive at $50, bringing the justices in line with the rules that govern Members of Congress. It would also cap gifts of personal hospitality, which are currently unregulated, at a value equal to the tax threshold for personal gifts, currently about $18,000.

Take action!

Tell your member of Congress to support H.R. 8830 and close the giant loophole that allows Supreme Court justices to accept staggeringly expensive “gifts” from billionaires with interests in Supreme Court litigation. With concrete policies that set a clear ethical standard, we can strengthen the judicial integrity and boost public trust in the US Supreme Court.
