Washington DC<\/span><\/i><\/b> \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses Ron Wyden y Jeff Merkley esta semana firmaron conjuntamente una carta con colegas del Senado y la C\u00e1mara de Representantes al juez de la Corte Suprema Clarence Thomas y al presidente del Tribunal Supremo John Roberts exigiendo respuestas sobre la posible violaci\u00f3n de la ley federal de \u00e9tica por parte del juez Thomas, despu\u00e9s del explosivo informe de la semana pasada sobre la esfuerzos de su esposa, Virginia \u201cGinni\u201d Thomas, para anular los resultados de las elecciones de 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

El juez Thomas fue el \u00fanico voto en contra en un caso de la Corte Suprema que requer\u00eda que los registros de la Casa Blanca de Trump se entregaran al Comit\u00e9 Selecto de la C\u00e1mara del 6 de enero a principios de este a\u00f1o. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Los legisladores exigieron una explicaci\u00f3n por escrito del juez Thomas sobre su falta de recusaci\u00f3n dados estos posibles conflictos de intereses, buscaron la recusaci\u00f3n del juez Thomas de futuros casos relacionados con esfuerzos para anular las elecciones de 2020 o el ataque al Capitolio del 6 de enero, y pidieron al presidente del Tribunal Supremo Roberts para crear reglas de \u00e9tica vinculantes y exigibles para la Corte Suprema. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\n

\u201cLa participaci\u00f3n del juez Thomas en casos relacionados con las elecciones de 2020 y el ataque del 6 de enero es extremadamente dif\u00edcil de conciliar con los requisitos de \u00e9tica federal... El juez Thomas no ha revelado el alcance de su conocimiento sobre las actividades de la Sra. Thomas ni se ha recusado de m\u00faltiples casos judiciales relacionados con el 2020. elecci\u00f3n y el intento de insurrecci\u00f3n que sigui\u00f3. De hecho, el juez Thomas fue el \u00fanico juez disidente que habr\u00eda bloqueado el acceso del Comit\u00e9 del 6 de enero a los registros presidenciales relacionados con los esfuerzos de la Administraci\u00f3n Trump para interrumpir la transferencia pac\u00edfica del poder, registros que muy bien podr\u00edan contener comunicaciones entre la Sra. Thomas y la Casa Blanca. funcionarios dado lo que ahora sabemos\u201d, <\/span><\/b>escribieron los legisladores. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

La semana pasada, El<\/i> El Correo de Washington<\/i> y CBS News detall\u00f3 los esfuerzos de la Sra. Thomas para persuadir al entonces jefe de gabinete de la Casa Blanca, Mark Meadows, de anular los resultados de las elecciones de 2020. Entre el d\u00eda de las elecciones de 2020 y los d\u00edas siguientes al 6 de eneroel<\/sup>En el ataque al Capitolio de 2021, la Sra. Thomas y Meadows intercambiaron 29 mensajes de texto, en los que la Sra. Thomas difundi\u00f3 teor\u00edas falsas sobre las elecciones, inst\u00f3 a Meadows a anular los resultados de las elecciones y pidi\u00f3 acciones espec\u00edficas de la Casa Blanca para ayudar a anular el elecci\u00f3n. Estas revelaciones siguen a informes anteriores sobre los esfuerzos de la Sra. Thomas para verificar los resultados de las elecciones de 2020, incluido su desempe\u00f1o como uno de los nueve miembros de la junta de un grupo que ayud\u00f3 a liderar el movimiento "Stop the Steal" y pidi\u00f3 el castigo de los republicanos de la C\u00e1mara que particip\u00f3 en el Comit\u00e9 Selecto de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos que investiga el ataque del 6 de enero.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Adem\u00e1s de plantear inquietudes sobre si el juez Thomas pudo haber violado la ley federal de \u00e9tica, los legisladores se\u00f1alaron el patr\u00f3n de fallas importantes en materia de \u00e9tica de la Corte Suprema. Entre 2003 y 2007, el juez Thomas no revel\u00f3 $686,589 en los ingresos de su esposa por su trabajo en Heritage Foundation en violaci\u00f3n de la Ley de \u00e9tica en el gobierno. M\u00faltiples jueces no se han recusado de casos ante la Corte mientras pose\u00edan acciones individuales en los partidos, y los jueces aceptan regularmente viajes lujosos, donaciones a causas que apoyan y membres\u00edas costosas, en marcado contraste con los obsequios permitidos bajo las restricciones \u00e9ticas impuestas a otros ramas del gobierno. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Para arreglar el largo patr\u00f3n de infracciones \u00e9ticas en la Corte Suprema, los legisladores pidieron al Presidente del Tribunal Supremo Roberts que se comprometiera a crear un C\u00f3digo de Conducta vinculante para la Corte que incluya disposiciones aplicables y el requisito de que todos los jueces emitan decisiones de recusaci\u00f3n por escrito. Los legisladores pidieron que el juez Roberts responda y haga este compromiso antes del 28 de abril de 2022. <\/span><\/p>\n
