- November 7 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights delivers remarks emphasizing the need for the Senate Judiciary Committee to vote to authorize issuing subpoenas to Harlan Crow, Leonard Leo, and Robin Arkley II as part of the Committee’s Supreme Court ethics investigation.
The Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote on the authorization for Thursday, November 9.
Thank you for continuing to fight for what is right Senator Whitehouse! We the people stand with you!
I think Senator Whitehouse is excellent! He’s so articulate and he researches the issues he brings forward! He’s right on this one!
AND, he's ETHICAL!!
I always think about what a great President he would be. Imagine, a President Whitehouse in the White House!
He's an excellent orator
@@arautusI think he's an Ethicist. I am, as well. He has a wonderful grasp on the difference between Law and Ethics, as well how each are individually enforced. If we had an Ethicist for President, we could help the entire world in unprecedented ways.
LOL, I just posted very similar above. Dang I can't claim i started it, but you can! 💙
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nothing but admiration for Sen. Whitehouse
Thank you Senator Whitehouse.
Thankful that we have a Sen. Whitehouse.
Sen. Whitehouse is a National and worldwide treasure - GOD BLESS YOU.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for president ASAP!
I was thinking the same thing! He would be an excellent President with Amy Porter as VP 2028.
He's too smart to run for Potus.
@@divinecomedy0Big Gretch Whitmer or Andy Beshir in 2028.
I think I'd rather have him right where he is at. As president he couldn't do what he is doing now. Working hard to ensure the corrupt Supreme Court Justices are held accountable. This is far from over. That's why 2024 is even more important than 2020.
I hope what they are saying about voters isn't true. I hope for record numbers again. I haven't checked to see how many new people have registered for 2024 but I'm going to check.
Andy Beshear won again here in Kentucky. Now we have to work on getting this state blue once again. 35+ years is too long to be under McConnell but hes not up for reelectionuntil 2026. I'm ready to vote blue. And a little bit of purple, depending. Magatuckians need to go the way of the dodo.
Senator Whitehouse for US Supreme Court ASAP
Senator Whitehouse is a great example of what public service is.
Should put him on the money!
You literally took the words out of my mouth! Real public service and loves Democracy ❤🎉
Always a Master Class.
But he does own stock, stock he bought while in office. Otherwise he would be my hero
If you made 200k wouldn't You invest?
Bravo, Sen. Whitehouse!!!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. We need you in this time. Thank you for fighting for us.
Whitehouse for the Whitehouse!
2024, please!
White House would be the perfect president of the United States he’s a true American always tells the truth I have a lot of respect for him
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. Talk about a good choice for President. You sir are it as far as I am concerned. You'd get my vote.
It would be possible to win the popular vote with enough campaign money BUT (like Bernie) how to get the DNP & Dem Committee to Elect a president behind the right choice.
I have said before that a 2028 Sheldon Whitehouse/Katie Porter ticket would be formidable!
yeah, but democracy isn't all about one person. thank goodness he's where he's at now, doing what he's doing and we need more people like this in every branch of government at every level
Absolutely! Senator Whitehouse is exactly Who America and Our Democracy NEEDS to get this rampant and obscene Corruption removed from Our Governments and Our Nation’s Coroporate Greed machinations. We Must reform Our Democracy to make Certain it is Equal and Honest for All Americans!!
President is not a higher rank, it is a unique function of our democracy. I see no reason why Senator Whitehouse, doing so perfectly in his role as U.S. Senator, should be proposed for the cross-grade to President. Such a proposal reveals a sad lack of understanding of our trilateral system.
Whitehouse 2024 🇺🇸
I applaud you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, your incredible relentless effort to bring corruption into the light !
Waste of taxpayer money these dems.
@@JohnCaplan I bet you voted for the likes of Santos, Boebert, MT Greene and all the other admirable GQP like tRump. 🤣
Good on you, Senator Whitehouse.... pull the covers off them! They need to be investigated. Stay well
100% agree with Sen. Whitehouse.
Win ilections
Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
I appreciate your honorable representation for all Americans. Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
I love Senator Whitehouse and I love Rhode Island for keeping him in office. The rest of us owe you a debt of gratitude for your vote.
And congratulations to the Gabe Amo win !
Us rep.are doing the same as you libs do when you are on charge
So stop the bs
God bless your leading the way, Senator Whitehouse, we're right there with you! 👍🇺🇸
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
We are watching and we are thankful for the honest and genuine representation.
I cant believe just 3 other Senators showed up for this. SHAMEFUL!
Attendance should be mandatory. Otherwise they should be removed from the committee.
Not unusual, I'm afraid. They are all on the hones begging for money, despite the FACT the corporate billionaire pipeline feeds them VERY well. Greed and religion NEVER end.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse not only for what you are doing to fight corruption in SCOTUS, but giving us (we the people) a ray of hope that we will have real justice.
It's a shame it took so long for this to come out!! Thank you Senator Whitehouse! Whitehouse for President!!!
Thank you, senator!
Senator Whitehouse is a Senator who actually earns his pay. I can't think of even one republican in the Senate who earns his or her pay.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Republicans get paid MUCH more money from the corporate whores who own them!
Do you really believe that there is not one senator who earns their pay, even in the situation wherein there was a republican senator girl, who was having fun with a guy, in a movie theater, most recently? 🤷
Boebert is NOT a senator. She's in the House - a congresswoman - I use that term loosely.
@@kyleholland6983 Republicans in the House and Senate are useless aholes. They spend their time trying to gut social security and medicare and giving huge tax breaks to billionaires.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. You are a national treasure!
He is the man. Never give up and never surrender
I stand with Bernie Sanders and Sheldon Whitehouse because *BERNIE* *SANDERS* *AND* *SHELDON* *WHITEHOUSE* *STAND* *FOR* *US!!!!!*
Thank you Senator Whitehouse✨🇺🇸✨💙✨
Thank you, Senator. We support you.
*No one is above the law...*
unless you are elected to Congress or POTUS or SCOTUS...
Those that make and enforce the laws are above the law. Been going on throughout history.
Spot on!💯
You have the order and degree of justice wrong. SC has no laws to follow, 2. Presidents can't be found guilty while in office, 3. Legislators can be tried, yet are rarely convicted!
When listening to Senator Whitehouse speaking truth to power,there is a sigh of relief and a glimmer of hope for America which stands on the cusp of the destruction of Democracy aided and abetted by corrupt dark money.Thankyou Senator for your sincere patriotism and hard work.
I live in RI. Senator Whitehouse is my favorite thing to come out of this State.
Right He Honest and Got BACKBONE
And Works Hard At his Job We Need More Like Him Now 🎉
He really cares about our Democracy & the people. We have some really great senators!🇺🇸 Jamie Raskin, Katie Porter,and so on
I wish we had Senators as intelligent as Senator Whitehouse in Texas! He speaks with truth, caring, and decency!
Thank you again Senator Sheldon and colleagues
Thank you Whitehouse! Love your hard work that has educated us so much.
Please keep up your excellent work, Senator! We deserve an ethical and accountable SCOTUS!!
It’s time to let the American voters decide on a Constitutional amendment to stop these corrupt judges
FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!!!!! AMERICANS ARE HERE FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
And we are sick of these dammed billionaires stealing from our poorest NEIGHBORS to get sickeningly rich themselves. END CITIZENS UNITED- it has poisoned the whole dammed American government. 'Disclose Act' might help. There might be hope but as long CITIZENS UNITED is law, I'm not sure.
Thank you, Senator.
Go get 'em! They are snubbing our need to know about the absolute corruption of the SCOTUS.
They think they are above the law. Gee where have we heard that before. Trump. 🤬
They need to be accountable if people have enough dark money to throw at the courts why aren't they throwing it to charities?
I don't want them throwing it to charities I want them to lose it and give it back to the people that they stole it from. even from a capitalistic standpoint it doesn't make sense that they hoard wealth and giveit to people to do their bidding who are just going to hoard it as well.
there would be no need for charities if people were given their rightful due.
@mjkay8660, Charities wouldn't offer them anything in return, giving money to Congress, SCOTUS, POTUS and candidates etc. gets them what they want as far as 'quid pro quo' is concerned. The lg corporations get away with not paying any corporate tax, damaging the environment we depend on to survive. Lying to customers about their operations and practices that taint water, cause horrendous air pollution and on & on & on! That's the difference, even though donating their excess to charity is a very noble cause, MAKING MONEY THROUGH DECEPTION, FRAUD, DECEIT AND CORRUPTION, SPEAKS LOUDER!! 😮 To the politicians and the Corporations!
THIS HOME IS ON YOUR SIDE, SENATOR!
Ginni Thomas needs to be subpoenaed. If what they're doing is ok, why are they hiding it? What they're doing is highly illegal!
She was subpoenaed but spoke without being under oath so there is that. Super scary how Thomas is so corrupt.
Thank you, Senator!
Senate needs more people like you
The world needs more people with intelligence, intellect and sincerity
Accountability now. Thank You Senator
Sounds like the SCOTUS needs to report to a court higher than themselves! Which is of course non non-existent. Senator Whitehouse is an amazing fighter for justice.
Senator, you are a very convincing speaker, insightful, and wise in so many ways.
Senator Whitehouse, THANK YOU for all your dedication to holding SCOTUS accountable to us!
I would love to see you make a run for president Senator Whitehouse. I so enjoy your talks!
Why does the Constitution does not applies to SCOTUS? There should not be two sets of law for *ANY* American citizens. The justice system in the US is a joke, if *entitled* SCOTUS is/are not called to account by The People.
The justices are acting like god's , they are not gods, we need term limits.
When they were sworn in, they pledged their duty to abide to, and defend the constitution of the United States. If they do not do so, they can be impeached. All it takes is for Congress to act accordingly. What sen. Whitehouse is doing with these inquiries is a start in that direction.
Keep on keeping on, Sen. Whitehouse. Been following you for the past years and you never disappoint.❤😊
YOU GOT THE MAJORITY NOW, DO YOUR WORK SIR!!!!
What makes these judges assume that they are unaccountable? Hold them to a higher standard.
Judicial accountability is overdue.
God courage and strength to you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
Well said! I can't believe the supreme court has never been held to standards of ethics. What did they think would happen? Exactly what is happening!
Keep fighting! Fight for the People who want the highest court in the US to follow rules established by Congress, not the money offered by those who intend to purchase Court decisions. The corruption MUST stop now!🤯🔥🤯
How can anyone disagree with this? Thank you for continuing to fight for the SC to be regulated the way all other judges are.
Thank you for always fighting the good fight, Senator 👏🏽
Imagine a Congress full of Sheldon Whitehouses.
Yes, wouldn't that be great?! We would have a more just society!
My dream
These billionaires are not above the law.
SCOTUS has proved that they need to have accountability checks. They should be neither Democrat or Republican, it interferes with their ability to adjucate effectively.
You can always count on Senator Whitehouse to hold their feet to the fire! Thanks for remaining steadfast in the fight, Senator!
I like that the Senator doesn’t exercise some sort of partisan diatribe. He really seems interested, after review, in fixing the obvious problem that the SCOTUS has. The problem is not singular. There are a myriad of issues here that need to be fixed. They’re broken. But does CONGRESS really have the Will to course correct? I sincerely pray they do. The lives of Americans and the history and integrity of jurisprudence are at stake. Quite frankly, the Constitution is at risk if the arbiters of decisions are not impartial in their choices because they are bought and paid for. By outside individuals or other institutions
🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏⚖️🏛️🗽🇺🇸🟦✔️
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You ask if Congress has the will to fix this glaring issue with SCOTUS ethics? No.
Not this Congress. The next one will, though. And they’ll use the hard work of this brilliant, highly ethical Senator as the structure for their Congressional reforms of SCOTUS. Off the shelf remedies ready to roll, thanks to Sen. Whitehouse. Just give them the help they’ll need.
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW ! ! !
And the only way to make that happen,.. is making sure the Courts Aren't Either.
Criminals NEVER police themselves. The Attorney General of Texas (Paxton) takes child support money from people, and then NEVER pays that child support money out but instead Paxton takes that child support money, and pays that child support money to the Governor (Abbott), and STATE, and Federal, Judges, for immunity from apprehension, and immunity from Prosecution, the same way that the mafia pays corrupt judges, and law enforcement personnel, for immunity from apprehension, and immunity from Prosecution.
I should know because Paxton has taken thousands and thousands of dollars from me for "child support" while my ex-wife has NEVER received even one PENNY from the "STATE" of Texas for "child support".
The justice system is not the issue...
Justice does not have feelings.
Justice is not corruptible by money.
Justice does not have prejudices.
Justice is not biased.
Justice is not racist.
It is prejudiced and racist, money-loving, 🤥 lying people who are in the positions of "officers of the court" that ARE the issue.
The solution is to implement an international, global, universal, independent legal oversight mechanism, for holding accountable corrupt, unprincipled, biased, prejudiced "Heads of State", including Presidents (or whatever the top "leader" is called, in any and every country/nation), Governors, Attorney Generals, Judges, etc... essentially a Gestapo for Justice so that the aforementioned criminals may no longer impede and obstruct the administration of justice.
The issue is that we already have the framework for this with the international criminal court.
The problem is that there is no legal precedent that has been set by having the International criminal court and the Department of Justice and the FBI work together to prosecute somebody in the United States, so that legal precedent is set, which is why I have been encourging Jack Smith, and Merrick Garland, and Chris Wray to meet with the President of the International criminal court, to set legal precedent, In my cases, So that we can get on with the human equality evolution revolution, that so many people are desperate to see. 🧐
Thank you Senator ! What you and the committee are doing is so important. Finally !! someone asks what Thomas knew about the insurrection plans - his wife was directly involved. Why is she protected by the court? She, herself, is not a justice and why would accountability for actively working to subvert our constitution be different for a wife of a justice or a justice themselves?
thank you so much for bringing this to the floor, the fact the these GRIFTER , JUDGES ARE FOR SALE needs to change !
Thank You Senator Whitehouse for bringing this matter before the Senate again. It is definitely a cause worth fighting for. Considering all these things:
Senate would appoint the Justice upon nomination of the President. Art 3 S1 "Congress may ordain or establish" but it also commands the "good behaviour" of the Judge or Justice in that same article. Congress is responsible for establishing the statutes.. the disclosure, emoluments, hatch, etc required to appoint Justices, Art 3 Sect 1 "under such regulations as Congress shall make". "Congress may, by law, have directed" One of Congresses primary duties is "oversight and investigations". Member of Congress should receive from those statements that they had an obligation to investigate further, those high dollar gifts and whether they served ( or even could be viewed) as a payment for a ruling that favored a "friend". 💙🇺🇸
Citizens United (global billionaires) allows anonymous donors to give to the Republicans.
😢
And that is an EXTREMELY SERIOUS PROBLEM!
Sen. Whitehouse is a man of honor and integrity. Too bad more people can't follow his lead ..💙🇺🇸
Well said
Let's goooooo!!! 🌊⚖️🇺🇸

Nice to see some politicians actually working to improve how this country works and sticking up for the average American 👍
Senator Whitehouse ... Rhode Island's gift to the nation.
A pitbull. Tireless. Relentless.
Thank you.
What would the country be without this man. Every person in the US should be watching this.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Please keep fighting for justice! We appreciate all you are doing for the American people! The Supreme Court needs to be held to the highest standards of ethics, not the lowest! 💙
Thank you! Keep up this good, important work.
Thank you sir. I will be sure to share with my republican colleagues
Yes, the Supreme Court needs to be accountable to the American People.
Thank you, Sir ! Thank you for standing up for the American People, Senator Whitehouse.
We need more of people like Senator Whitehouse!
Justice matters. Thank you Senator Whitehouse for your tireless efforts to correct the horrific situation. ❤🙏🌹
Please keep up the pressure for accountability on OUR Supreme Court, Senator Whitehouse! Americans truly appreciate your determination to expose the graft & grift in this arm of OUR government. You are a great American!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse as a veteran and New England resident I salute you and for your honorable service to America 🇺🇸 service.
Long overdue! What about Ginni Thomas and her connection to Mark Meadows, Leonard Leo and Harlan Crow? L-O-N-G O-V-E-R-D-U-E!!!
Thank you Senator for truth ethics and a moral compass that is lacking in todays governing bodies
I am so glad you are doggedly persuing this egregious scheme.
The most important facts that I have heard in a very long time!❤
Thank you for your Service Senator Whitehouse! We are paying attention and we appreciate your work! Please keep it up.
Outstanding! Sen.Whitehouse is what all other politicians should aspire to be.
Superbly spoken
Senator Whitehouse presents cogent and articulate information!! Thank you for protecting our democracy!!
Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. I appreciate your valiant efforts to address the corruption of the Supreme Court - especially of Ginni Thomas' involvement with the J6 activities and her husband's acceptance of Too Many Gifts.
such entitlement, who do they think they are?
I often wonder whether Senator Whitehouse's great work will ever be fully appreciated or fully rewarded, I certainly do hope so!
