Hãy nói với thẩm phán Gorsuch: Hãy từ chức đi!
Thẩm phán Neil Gorsuch PHẢI từ chối tham gia Liên minh cơ sở hạ tầng bảy quận kiện Quận Eagle, Colorado.
Với mối quan hệ thân thiết với ông trùm dầu mỏ tỷ phú Philip Anschutz, không thể tin tưởng ông sẽ phán quyết công bằng trong trường hợp này — điều này có thể dẫn đến việc bãi bỏ các biện pháp bảo vệ môi trường và lợi nhuận lớn cho những người bạn trong ngành Dầu mỏ của ông.
Here’s a simple fact: Supreme Court justices are the only federal judges who aren’t required to follow a binding ethical code.
You read that right. Our highest court is held to the lowest ethical standards.
And right now, these low standards have made way for a major conflict of interest: Justice Gorsuch has yet to recuse himself from a case that could roll back environmental regulations while making millions of dollars for his good friend, oil baron Philip Anschutz. [1]
Justice Gorsuch and Anschutz have had a close personal and financial relationship for decades – Anschutz has hosted Gorsuch for luxury trips and events, and he even lobbied the Bush administration to nominate Gorsuch for his first appointment as a federal judge. [2]
And now, Anschutz stands to profit from this case, Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, Colorado. Anschutz is directly involved in this case – his company even submitted a “friend of the court” brief urging the Supreme Court to gut environmental protections and greenlight oil and gas drilling. [1].
We can’t trust Justice Gorsuch to stay impartial in a case that could lead to major profits for his close friend. Add your name to urge Justice Gorsuch to recuse himself.
