"Rules for thee, not for me."
Two tiered justice.
EXACTLY 💯 %
Two tiers. The Party and Everyone else.
Oh i agree
Does anyone else get the feeling that since he is just doing whatever he wants, doesn't seem to care about the rules or care what anyone else is saying that he is completely corrupt and only cares about his agenda?
The Senate does not have the power to censure the Supreme Court under the Constitution. They do have the right to appoint flawless judges instead of political appointees.
@@barbaralbrehm9967that will never happen.
I honestly don't think they'll be an election. Trump leads every poll. So watch what happens
Bingo
This code should also be applied to Congress, Senate and all White House Administration. All or none. This is preposterous.
dont let them fool you, they are all gonna vote yes regardless
Exactly, starting with Durbin, I am sure that he has skeletons under his rug and closets!
Joe Biden has stayed at millionaire's homes and houses for years without paying. He'll be doing it again over New Year's if not before.
right wing meltdown
They already have a code of conduct. That's why Santos got booted. Only the Supreme Court doesn't have an enforceable code.
Their putting these people on the bench for a reason..destruction
They're*
It's very hard to wait for judgement day of these evil wicked men what a shock they got coming
Aint it the truth! I volunteer to drive the Karma Bus.
The cut of the mic during some of the voting is BS, let us hear who is not truly representing their people!!!!!
What mic cut? 😂 the corrupt Republicons cried the entire time through the roll call.😂
This isn't a personality thing this is about our country try to stay focused.
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513interesting to see that you haven’t contributed a single comment that seems to be accurate or relevant.
@chrisjenkins203 , except the one about Republicons protecting their billionaire donors.😉
Disturbing. And sad. Congress Must work together, for the Good of All.
WHAT WICKED THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON HERE AND SHOWS WHY WOULD WE EVER TRUST OUR GOVERNMENT! ???
I cannot believe what I am seeing what has congress become.
The haughty thing he is doing you know he’s guilty of worse. We need audits on the senators that take money from lobbyists and vote accordingly instead of for what’s right for the people and our nation. He needs oversight. He has no right to try to control another branch of our government. And voted for by the senate. We the people need to subpoena him. And anyone voting for this.
There does't seem to be an honest process going on in the Judiciary Committee under Durbin.
Why?
@@Stay-grounded-stay-safe either you're uninformed or a liar, but they debated the nominees twice days prior. You call that the process. The Republicons could just vote NO instead of outrageous grandstanding, gaslighting, and crying over billionaires.
Go back and review the process when the GOP take the hear,...... control of the Senate. If you can't the heat......
What ARROGANCE! “Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and honesty has been outlawed.” Isaiah 59:14
There should never be a lifetime appointment of any office , most paticular a judge.
Especially when they can just lie to congress to get the job and go against the will of the people like they did with Roe v Wade etc. Being part of the federalist society should disqualify ANYONE from being a judge.
* particular
thats what democrats want
Well said
Well said
My stomach is turning after seeing these types of people voted in as federal judges. I am quickly losing all hope that this country will ever exist in any semblance to the great nation it once was.
This is deliberate treason of our constitution and should be treated as such.
Corruption at its finest
Did you feel the same way when judges were appointed who had never tried a case? As in the last administration?
Keep praying that good will outweigh evil
@@ericmccambly4404joe BRIBEMS AMERICA 🇺🇸
Can a committee chairman be censured in the Senate?? There's a serious issue with Dick Durbin. This is seriously WRONG!!!
They pulled the same thing on the democrats with Kavanagh, it's a taste of their own medicine, you can't have rules for 1 and not the other
Try to shut down the committee. All political. Unbelievable! Mr. Durbin needs to go.
And Schumer. I can’t find a petition to audit Schumer and Durban and kick them out. But I will sign it if one comes out.
What is wrong with investigating the bribery from the billionaires? Why are the Republicons upset about a subpoena for SCOTUS corruption?🦧🤔
@@rhondamyers4936 I definitely will too
I'm so proud of you Senator Blackburn!!
#WEWILLNEVERFORGETEPSTINE
I’d like to thank Forbes magazine for posting this video for people who didn’t have a chance to watch this senate hearing live when it happened. Because these hearings are usually held in the middle of the day when most concerned taxpayers are working and not able to sit and watch the yammering of politicians!
Stay awake start paying attention that is not the good attitude we need here.
In my time zone, they start around 7
Yes this should be applied to all senate, congress and their families and staff and all gov agencies
Already is. Only SCOTUS us unaccountable
Exactly
@@loucovey5271they can be subject to impeachment if they are found to be corrupt. This is not about any conduct, it's about progleft squealing after a decision is made that they don't like. Furthermore, the Supreme Court nominees are subject to incredible vetting by agencies and committees on both sides of the aisle, as well as years of experience on higher level benches, until KBJ anyway. Completely partisan and unqualified. A literal diversity hire for the Supreme Court. A complete embarrassment to this country.
Isn't there a death penalty for that type of action against a child basically being death kidnapped and raped
There is , and that judge did not follow the sentencing guidelines as Marsha B stated
Uggggh 🤦🏼♀️
Free the imprisoned Americans !! No due process?
Insanity
It's just like Dick Durbin's soul has been removed, he's working for evil to take over
So, we should let corruption run rampant in the Supreme Court?🤔
Democrats don't believe in god they would give away their soul for politics😮
@allanford2663, what church does Trump or his family go to? 🤔. Backward upside-down bible church?
I'm shocked!
Dishonest and ignoring the obvious is the number one move in their playbook. Followed by doubling down when they get caught doing horrible things.
Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court?
Sounds like a great idea!
Implement it for the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches.
While you're at, how about a Code of Conduct for ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS under penalty of forfeiture of all monies and benefits for their time in office, 5 years in prison and barred from public service for the rest of their lives?
OR
We could hold all public servants to honor their oaths of office?
There is the nutshell with the easy fix for all this is go back to basic law and order.
I believe we have enough of these kinds of Judges already. Our country is being undermined.
Intentionally and willfully!
Part of the trouble we have now is judges that are not fit for the position.
Most of congress and all of the current executive branch are not fit.
Absolutely political appointees...Real shame...
They're all unfit for ANY leadership, judicial or otherwise. Politicians included!!
@@1amstel1Yap. It’s all bs show for the sheep. They all are on the take, or compromised. Or both. Just holding on to their jobs, where they do nothing. Ever.
The American citizens are uniting and now we need Republicans to unite. If you dont you will be voted out. We want accountability now.
One can only hope!
GOP will not unite. Most are not mature enough to do so. I say don't wait, vote them out now.
right wing melt down
They pulled the same thing on the democrats with Kavanagh, it's a tast of their own medicine
Baloney!
Say goodbye to our Constitutional Republic of the United States of America 🇺🇸 this is the saddest day in the governments history. Durbin is not worth his weight in conduct.
Cry more
I didn't know shit was spelled c-o-n-d-u-c-t...hmmm, the more you know!
ACLJ
We need the same code of conduct for Congress and the Senate because someone needs to watch them.
They should be watched and it addressed when members of congress become multi millionaires while serving, based on their salaries paid. If they could demand Trumps tax documents as they did, they too should show theirs on demand.
ITS CALLED THREE SEPERATE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT PERIOD GO LOOK AT YOUR CONSTITUTION BTW WE'RE A "CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC"
Yes indeed all of US!
They are all supposed to be elected by the People, for the People.
🇺🇸Trump+The People's President.
This is so disturbing😢
Our government is a mess.
What is the breaking point of these democrats violating everything in the books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing has been done by the Republicans, they just don't like getting a taste of their own medicine. They are just trying to stall. They had time to speak prior to this and they didn't show up when they should have -- too bad!!
They have no limits. Just look at what they are doing to their political opponents.
I think what you meant to say are Republicans.
Thank you, Forbes Breaking News.
Well it’s about time republicans fight back
Most of the Republicans are RINOS
As soon as they start to…get ready for the other side to make ad hominem attacks and pointless comments. The only defense they have is to attempt to demonize and name call.
They gotta get serious
The only way to stop them is to vote them out
We tried. The Democrats rigged the vote.
Durbin is a certified swamp member.
Kennedy is always the voice of logic and reason
😂😂😂😂
@@genieruddle8 how immature what is your point
@@samesryals6952I can't spell the word 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@LumBo7166 I made a comment about senator Kennedy and you sent a bunch of smiley faces I don't know if you think my comment is funny and stupid or you agree with me or what so why even send me any response at all ?
@@samesryals6952 Kennedy right, is absolutely brilliant, poster for deliberate intelligence, bro come on we hearing same conversation bout same issue. Graham did confess he did what he was accused of Kennedy knew that but raised it, brilliant
Why does the sound go away before the votes are completed?😡😡😡😡
Justice Scalia spoke on this very matter. Folks we're in uncharted waters.
The Legislation Branch has ZERO authority over the Judicial Branch. Democrats really should read the Constitution!
Is conflict of interest why the hell you hanging out with billionaires as a judge
@@Joaopereira-dh3dw ,
….so…now you can’t be friends with anyone you want to be friends with….. and people say Trump is “authoritarian”…. 🙄
@@Joaopereira-dh3dw uh, because they’re friends…..
@@Joaopereira-dh3dwcome on bro, hood sa your comment sound real fishy
I just can't believe what I'm watching! I can"t believe These nominees are even being considered! What the hell is the matter with these democrats???
Durbin needs to resign immediately.
When will the democrats in congress be held accountable?
WHO KEEPS TURMIMG THE AUDIO OFF DURING ROLE CALLS, we DEMAND to hear how these scumbags are voting. don't cut the audio!!!!!!
Senator Kennedy says that some of the noms have never opened a law book. How the hell did Cannon get through then??
Now you know how we feel when we go to local courts
As to Sen. Blumenthal's comments about the 3rd nominee-> sure why not approve her nomination, you all approved Seth Afram.
None, NOT A ONE of these nominees should have been approved. I call BS
Dick Durbin belongs in prison, forever.
How do these democrates nominate a person with a record like this you have to.ne kidding me
I am thoroughly impressed with senator Kennedy. The way he stated his position without belittling anyone, when he asked "could you tell ME why..." instead of making him feel it was him vs a group of people, his even tone of voice, and listening to the answers given-all of that will get more positive things done instead of getting even, you hurt me now I'll hurt you, yelling and talking over each other. I think everybody needs to take a deep breath and erase all the bad feelings of the past and start with a fresh slate. It seems like one side is mad at the other and is doing all they can to make the other side bleed...they are confirming LIFETIME appointed federal judges. You would think both sides would want the cleanest hands, the best of the best-there shouldn't be sides on this topic. They should be on the side of what's best for America. These judges will be PERMANENT-FOR LIFE! If the judges have to be non-partisan then why pick the most extreme from center they can find? C'mon gentlemen and women, check your egos at the door and work together!
He cherry-picks and lies all the time, and I am glad he gets called out it neds to happen everytime they misspeaks, lies, and cherry-pick info. KENNEDY is the worse of the worse.
These judges are for life. This is so wrong in so many ways !!!!
Amen
@@ThomWalbranA1you’re just salty he picked apart that lying activist judge n Biden put forward . 😂
Thats when you really get screwed just start giving slack right away you best get ready for a suprise mud bath. No doubt that reach across the isle may do untold damage.
This makes that movie "shooter" by wahlberg seemingly true to life. Scary times
And WE pay these people's salaries!???? This is a Kangaroo court. Let our Representatives SPEAK, Durbin.
😂😂😂😂😂😂say a THIRD TIME
They had the chance twice they decided not to
The senate staff needs to be looked at closely. That chick doing the roll call has an attitude and seems like she is totally in favor of burning all decorum to the ground.
PLEASE PRAY REALLY HARD WITH ALL YOUR HEART ❤USA IS IN REALLY GREAT GRAT TROUBLE. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 USA
The three gov powers of Executive, Legislative and Judicial are meant to be balancing powers. It is inappropriate for one to be dictating the structure or operations within another balancing power. As for ethics? Congress needs to address their own! So Much is openly ignored. While they seek to pass judgement and place controls within another power. For the purpose of upsetting that balance to their favor. The attacks on specific Supreme Court justices were so exaggerated out of context. For example calling an annual fishing trip by two long-standing friends a “gift” because the judge flew for this trip on a private plane owned by the other along with him and stayed at his lodgings. That logic to call that a gift is sooo far reaching. Which is why they simply label it without further description. The two judges they single out are both conservative. When you hear of the “unethical” behaviors suggested it must be vague to even push that suggestion. You can’t have a balancing power trying to dictate over another balancing power. For the obvious motive to upset the balance bias in their favor. So poorly disguised.
A time limit needs to be set on how long they can sever .
I haven't once vote for Durbin. I didn't like him from the start and I wouldn't waste spit on the ground if he stood before me. He's despicable on many levels.
Investigation of Durban would be awesome. Corrupt Illinois politician,long time politician who needs to go!
THE CLERK CALLING THE ROLE HAD NO MICROPHONE! THESE DEMS THAT VOTE YES DO NOT WANT THEIR NAMES HEARD HELLO!!!
Where is justice?
A Democratic Senate calling on anyone else to be “ethical” is laughable.
How? 😂
Are you even watching this scandalous display of corruption by the Democratic party here?
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513 Ask Menendez. 😂
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513 Ask Anthony Wiener. 😂
@timkelly6985 all crooks and traitors need to go to jail, agreed?
Isn't this the same problem as Congress not wanting to have term limits? Make it happen. Or Congress can will be voted out
they can be voted out but then you have some like bennie thompson who seem to have lifetime membership
we vote a president out but even he cant serve more than two terms even if people wanted him for a third time
hunter's testimony MUST be LIVE AND PUBLIC
I wanna know the repercussions for Dick shutting everyone out of the vote......
ACLJ
If a judge isn't fit to be a federal judge then they should not be a judge at all!
Why isn't Durbin issuing subpoenas to people associated with Kagan??
BRAVO, BRAVO Sen. Cruz!!!!
AMEN!
Sorry Dubin should be kicked out of the Senate!!! Trying to stack the judicial system!!!
if this code of conduct had applied to congress maxine waters and nancy pelosi would be picking strawberries in fresno
He needs to be removed, for misconduct. The law states He can resign or be made to remove. This is because his ATM was being filled ...By the corruption, the unethical practices, and the actions of Dick are grounds for removal. He did not follow the rules and noticed no response from Dick regarding rule 2.
What corruption?
What bribery?
What unethical practices?
Why do you side with caterwauling Republicans without knowing the full story, such as why they were purposely absent at two previous meetings to block the committee from doing work?
#FAFO
Amen..people need to demand this stuff..
Yes! He broke the rules! He did not let you speak! He started a roll call without letting you SPEAK! STAND UP A RAISE HELL!
Yet the house was arguing that Santos shouldn’t be removed and the only people who should have that say is his constituents. I’m not saying what I heard was right from this session but the hypocrisy and double standards are present.
Misconduct? How so watch 30:00 litteraly explained everything
Power grab laws need to be change this is Ridiculous big time
THIS IS WHY WE THE PEOPLE DON'T TRUST ANY OF YOU..... YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT JUSTICE IS .
McConnells actions and some of the justices, oh and a couple billionaires have already tore this justice system down
Another lightweight comment. Go back to watching The View.
@oliverhenri3477 I don't watch the view, I watch several news shows. Try to understand as much as I can. Then I apply some common sense.
@@lindamueller4933CNN and MSNBC does not qualify as news, they’re more of opinions and commentary. The same applies to network “news” also.
The staffers are running the asylum.
I do believe that would be merrick garland who goes after parents as terrorists..
This is nauseating!
Why can't we hear the votes?
I'm going to check out C-SPAN
Who is calling the names? The person sounds very angry and gives the impression of someone who needs to be heard far and wide but with no microphone. Previously I have heard roll call and the person calling sounded pleasant or reasonable.
I think the Citizens will need to step up and fire these corrupt politicians for not following the rules.
Durbin isn’t even attempting to conceal his corruption and ability to ignore the fundamentals of our government. This is just depressing, appalling and leaves little hope for our future.
Democrats going forward with weaponizing every institution they can
Must not be illegal because they are all staying there letting it happen🤷🏽♂️
How can rules just be suspended??!!! OMG!!!! ABUSE OF POWER!!!
And who is the real threat to democracy
Get rid of Durban and his party!!! We can see what’s going on here !!!
When does the people get to say let them speak, All of the representatives in office are there thru the exception of the American people. When did the government stop answering to the people !!! ????
Obama
Durbin is the reason the word "politician" is a dirty word.
Their gutless to say no
No more supposed nominees made by the big guy who as being "the big guy" had no right to make ANY nominees whatsoever.
Durbin is running roughshawed over the committee
This corrupt , let this chairman be accountable, he's corrupt not to let the people speak , that these senators right to. Speak !!! 😡😡😡😡✝️✝️
Vendetta is the appropriate words.
It's really sad how coŕrupt our government is ,and it shows!😢
This is why you need term limits
not too difficult to tell who's getting payed off for favors
"I'm a Dick" Durbin has got to be dealt with....
Cry more, old man got no time for gop tomfoolery guy litteraly just rolled along and gave zero flying f while they whine and cry

Dich Duebin need to be removered ive never see any thing like this before
Swalwell probably didn't think there would be any problem filling a federal judges position who represented "Wah-Wei" , a Chinese Communist Party IT specialist from doing business with America. In fact, Swalwell was looking forward to "seeing" some of those chestnut eyed beauts in person. Besides, who would ever know what 'perks' loose lips and bodacious hips might bring!
This video is truly a "Ball of Confusion". It's like the old saying "opinions are like a-holes... everybody has one". Most citizens have been bred to believe that our government with it's 3 branches was very fair and unique...it divided the power rather than one person rule. However, over the last 60 years our system has grown too large with far too many more politicians campaigning for far too many more positions with far too many more opinions of what the people want. We've actually have lost our way by thinking it's our governments job to provide us everything we want or need. The word "United" in the country's name of the USA is diminishing everyday ! It seems the last time we felt united was after the 9/11 terror attack. The news media has played a huge roll in this division as there is now two sides to the truth. I don't understand the hatred for Donald Trump or the undeserving approval of Joe Biden ? Teaching racism rather than diminishing it ? I don't understand the transgender approval and men competing in women's sports ? I, like you, could list many more misunderstandings that used to be very simple. Instead, I just listen to the song "Ball of Confusion" like I did in 1970 and figure that somehow things will all come out OK !!
This is just another political bias joke and whats wrong with our politicians in Washington. Before ever considering a code of conduct or ethics in the Supreme Court, the all need to take a good hard look at themselves. There is no such thing as a code of conduct, ethics or morals in either the House, the Senate. the White House, the president or the Vice President. A code of conduct and ethics needs to be established in the House,the Senate, the White House, the president and the vice president before looking at the Supreme Court. Whats good for the Goose is also good for the Gander.
