WASHINGTON – Three Democratic lawmakers are pressing Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett to recuse herself from one of the court s highest profile cases this term because of her ties to the conservative nonprofit that filed the appeal.
A foundation associated with Americans for Prosperity, which acknowledged spending seven figures on advertising to support Barrett during her confirmation battle last fall, has brought a case that will be argued at the nation s highest court next week challenging a requirement that it disclose major donors to state regulators in California.
In a three-page letter reviewed by USA TODAY, the lawmakers assert the Americans for Prosperity campaign in support of Barrett represents the appearance of a conflict in the pending dispute involving the group s public charity, the Americans for Prosperity Foundation. Both groups are backed by Republican megadonor Charles Koch.
