The event in Oakland was the second in a series of stops as part of a campaign for what advocates are calling a “Just Majority”. The campaign, sponsored by a coalition of over 30 progressive activist groups, alleges that justices are “basing their decisions on politics and not the law”.

Justice Clarence Thomas reportedly accepted luxury vacations from a Republican mega-donor for years, and Justice Neil Gorsuch allegedly sold property to one of the country’s largest law firms, which frequently argues before the Supreme Court.
