The U.S. Supreme Court
All nine sitting justices — a 6–3 conservative majority appointed across five presidencies. Profiles, ideology, confirmation history, education, and active ethics inquiries. Annual Financial Disclosure Reports (AO-10) ingestion launching Q3 2026.
⚖ Why we track the Court
Unlike Congress (STOCK Act) and the executive branch (OGE Form 278), Supreme Court justices' financial disclosures are NOT centralized in a structured federal database.
AO-10 PDFs are released annually to the public via the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Trade activity is rare — most justices hold index funds and government bonds — but holdings, spouse income, gifts, and reimbursed travel are public record. GovGreed will ingest and parse AO-10 disclosures in Q3 2026.

Open interactive bench → AO-10 source filings ↗How many Supreme Court justices are there?
9 sitting justices: 1 Chief Justice (John Roberts) and 8 Associate Justices. The number is set by federal statute (28 U.S.C. § 1) — not the Constitution — and has been 9 since 1869.
What's the ideological balance?
6 conservative (Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett) — 3 liberal (Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson). The 6–3 majority was solidified by Justice Barrett's October 2020 confirmation.
Are justices required to disclose their finances?
Yes — annually, via Form AO-10 with the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Unlike STOCK Act disclosures for Congress, AO-10 isn't centralized in a public database. PDFs are released individually.
Which justices have ethics inquiries?
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have faced public scrutiny over previously-undisclosed luxury gifts and travel from wealthy donors (Harlan Crow, Paul Singer respectively). Both inquiries remain open as of 2026.
Who appointed the current justices?
George W. Bush: Roberts (2005), Alito (2006). George H.W. Bush: Thomas (1991). Obama: Sotomayor (2009), Kagan (2010). Trump: Gorsuch (2017), Kavanaugh (2018), Barrett (2020). Biden: Jackson (2022).
Do justices trade stocks?
Rarely. Most justices hold index funds, government bonds, and qualified blind trusts to avoid recusal triggers. Individual-stock holdings have led to recusal orders historically. Watch this space — AO-10 ingestion goes live in Q3 2026.
