Washington D.C. — ICYMI, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) joined U.S. Representatives Hank Johnson and Jesús “Chuy” García, Center for Popular Democracy Action, and partner organizations called for the immediate resignation of Justice Clarence Thomas at a press conference in front of the Capitol yesterday. See the joint-release from the press conference here. LCV issued the following statement from Senior Director of Judiciary & Democracy Doug Lindner:

“We can’t have a healthy environment without a healthy democracy, which includes a judiciary we can trust to impartially administer the law and judges who do not accept massive, secret gifts from political mega donors. No one is above the law — Justice Thomas must be held accountable for his actions in one of the biggest ethics scandals in the history of the Supreme Court. Justice Thomas owes it to his country, his colleagues, and the Constitution to step down immediately.”
