Voters Want Clarence Thomas to Resign and Support a Supreme Court Code of Ethics [1]

Earlier this month, ProPublica released a bombshell report about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: He has frequently taken luxury vacations with billionaire Harlan Crow, who has spent millions to push the U.S. to adopt more conservative policies.

Nearly every summer, Crow takes Thomas to his private resort in the Adirondack Mountains, and at one point chartered a private jet and yacht with Thomas to Indonesia. Thomas never disclosed these vacations, which, according to legal experts, likely violated federal ethics law.

In a new national survey, we find that likely voters believe these actions are unethical by a +44-point margin. This includes a strong majority of Democrats (82 percent) and Independents (65 percent), as well as a plurality of Republicans.
