Congress should have listened to Anita Hill when she told them about Clarence Thomas.
💯 Absolutely!
It’s mind blowing how far this country has falles in less than a decade, due to one man and his accomplices. Just disgusting.
Clearance*
@@backalleycqc4790Wrong. The correct spelling of his first name is “Clarence”.
@@Leonaza7 The stuff with the Supreme Court Justices has been going on for over 25 years.
Harlan Crow bought himself a Supreme Court Justice decades ago. Thomas should never have made it onto the court AND this country owes a huge apology to Anita Hill.
I always believed her but I definitely get your point. I don’t think Thomas is the only one Crow purchased. A whole lotta Senators went along with that dog and pony show. Same with Kavanaugh and Barrett. 🤬
🎯🎯🎯
Word.
We should have believed Anita Hill.
@@mariegarside8830 We did. Those in charge ignored us.
Senator Whitehouse is a good man. I'm glad he's doing this.
It’s stupid! A special counsel just means more wasted tax payer dollars. It’s not like any justice will be impeached or removed. And we all know SCOTUS is corrupt and those who don’t know won’t believe it anyway!
He needs help. Write Garland and encourage him to save our democracy. Do not delay. Timing is everything. A day late and a dollar short gets us nowhere. Good luck.
@@stefanschleps8758 Biden should have fired Garland two years ago. He is the most spineless AG I have ever seen. I must wonder if he's being blackmailed.
I'll say this, if I wrote a politician character named "Whitehouse", I think an editor would tell me to change that. Too contrived!
@@xionkuriyama5697
That's as bad as Major Major Major. 😊
Corrupt? The court that wanted to give a convicted felon immunity? Whaaaaat
They also recently ruled that a gratuity is not a bribe. Mighty convenient since they are being questioned on this subject. Now their ruling applies to states and local government but given their behavior what should be inferred?
*did give. They did it.
It's okay. Once the current President uses his immunity to have a few of them waterboarded, I"m sure the Court will come to its senses.
"Do you want to try and impeach me, Mitch? Well, do you?"
Failing that, he could just ask the IRS to audit say 2/3s of the court, like the previous President did to some of his perceived enemies.
The Extreme Court that is preparing the ground for Project 2025 is corrupt ? Surely not
@@MeldaRavanielAn unjust law is no law at all! When Tyrany becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!
So.....Clarence Thomas turns out to be a scumbag. Imagine my shock and disbelief. LOL
Awe c'mon, you knew already!
Whitehouse has been working to inform the public for years.
Uncle Thomas, Clarence is a traitor to our country. Shameful. He's fully bought and paid for, with all the receipts.
@@iainherridge6253 Anita Hill tried to warn us decades ago.
I am shocked! Shocked!
Whitehouse is a friggin ROCKSTAR! He is someone I listen to - he knows the judiciary!
Jasmine Crockett too, when it comes to the judiciary. She's an attorney who passed 2 different bar exams. Very smart and quick witted 😂. If it ends up that Kamala has to pick a VP (for whatever reason) either of them would be great, but Crockett would make the Republicans heads collectively explode 😂😂😂
@@Washougalite1I'd support a Harris/Crockett ticket in a heartbeat...
Senator Whitehouse has several videos on his YT channel connecting the dots of the dark money being used to groom and seat judges at all levels. That’s how Donald got his picks.
Oregonian here - Proud of my man Wyden calling out this corrupt BS.
Me too. I love our state and I'm a fairly recent transplant.
We just need to educate him about the plight of wild horses and the extreme Bureau of Land Mgmt corruption
He's been doing a good job for some time, as far as I can tell. I don't follow things as closely since moving, but he seems to actually care about representing people.
Ditto
Love my state and it’s senators too
Senator Whitehouse has honor and integrity in spades, the GQP could learn a thing or two from him.
Except the GOP couldn't learn that a stove is hot if they set their hands on a eye that was cherry red.
I've been impressed by the good work by Senator Whitehouse for years. So glad he's being supported by other legislators with integrity.
@@TheMrMused💯 true!
We desperately need to end _"King Scotus"_ being a thing.
Amen 🙏🏽
Please, absolutely.

He's my mom's senator, and he's been fighting ceaselessly to bring actual oversight to the supreme court (among other things)
Whitehouse for the whitehouse ❤
We need more people like Sen. Whitehouse and Sen. Wyden in the Senate.
@@MMuraseofSandvichand Senator Reed!!
Was coming to say this. I'd lived in Rhode Island and worked his campaign the first time around. Excellent human
@@MMuraseofSandvich Go Wyden, very good Senator!💙💙
Except that I think Senator Whitehouse is vitally important exactly where he is, in the legislative branch, in the Senate, I agree with your sentiments.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse . Finally, someone is taking action, rather than just talking about how bad Thomas is. And yes, I’m sure the trolls will be screaming about the White House doing this. I hope folks remember that the White House is two words, and Whitehouse is one word.
Don’t hold your breath.
The mouth breathing knuckle draggers will never get it.
The difference between Whitehouse and White House will be purposefully propagandized by those who hate America and have found a way to make a profit from its destruction.
I'd love it if the White House had the huevos to do this.
Caesars wife, in this case apparently is not above reproach . She's guilty of helping to foment an insurrection.
Thank goodness for Senator Whitehouse and his tenacity on SCOTUS dark money!! He won't give up
John Roberts could've had Clarence Thomas remove himself from important cases like this but he chose not to. Questions need to be asked of him too.
Biden should push Garland to appoint a special counsel... Clarence deserves one
Put one on Alito as well so he don't feel left out.
Biden has made clear from the moment he appointed Garland that he will not interfere with the Dept. of Justice. Witness his position when his own son is accused and tried and found guilty. That's what you get with a President who obeys the laws of the land instead of trying to destroy them.
@@elmersglue6259(JK) "did you bring enough to share? you know the class rules... you can have some if you brought enough to go around.. "
*Who's got the most power....an inherent 'king' (🤮🤮) or the SCOTUS that decided 'merica needed one?
- rooting out judicial corruption, regardless of Party affiliation of the seated justice...should be every US citizen's goal IMO..
So does Alito.
How beautiful would it be if Thomas got impeached or forced retire and Garland gets put on the SCOTUS since McConnell blocked it during Obama's time.
We the people demand this! It will be a good start to turning this country back around. Vote blue!
Clearance Thomas:
"For the low low price of $250 000, I'll overturn whatever you want!"
@@JimHolder-pk2kk Yes, I guess that's one way to overturn whatever you want.
"sometimes less.."
*CT reminds me of Hee Haw's Minnie Pearl... price tags hanging everywhere.. (hats... TBF)...
Yeah it is surprising for what little people have sold their souls for.
Closer to 4 million he took in bribes, but the R.V will be the thing that brings down the tax evasion investigation.
@@user-wo5hn5ki7v That implies they have a soul to begin with. Some people never had one.
I'm pretty much expecting SCOTUS to grant themselves unconditional and total immunity for all of their acts during their collective lifetimes.
They can do that. Can’t they?
Not unless Congress allows it.
They'll simply say Congress has no power to allow or disallow it. It's all Calvinball now.
They are that arrogant
@@dudewearinghat Calvinball. Perfect.
To save any future confusion just put Whitehouse in the white house.
Problem solved!
That was a bit odd
Sounds like something from the original " Catch 22 ".
🎉can you see the confusions in pushing Biden out , it will be a circus. You just named yet another person for the nomination. The public will be so confused and frustrated. Nikki Haley withdrew from the race, and people were still voting for her in the primary.
At least it would be fun listening to all the news commentators trying to keep a straight face every time there was a story from the Whitehouse White House😊
@@obi-ron Fox news would bemoaning how the low unemployment, low inflation, and the generally very healthy economy is so terrible for the ( important ) people as they will have to pay their fair share in taxes, pay real wages to the horrible working people and still somehow get record profits.
Should have been done decades ago. Should never have put a rapist on the Supremely Corrupt Court. Definitely shouldn't have done that twice.
OF COURSE, Clarence Thomas would object to a special counsel. He has the greatest chance to be the SUBJECT of a special council!!
Why on earth did America fight in WW2 if you just go and hand your democracy over to your own dictator a few decades later?! Baffling.
@@Leonaza7 A lot of people forget that the US political field was overflowing with Nazi sympathizers in the 1930s. Those people didn't magically evaporate after the attack on Pearl Harbor, they just learned to disguise themselves.
I am a very proud Rhode Islander. Senator Whitehouse...go get 'em!!
YOU SHOULD BE.
I grew up in Bristol. Loved it!
Imagine having a lastname that lets you hijack the news headlines anytime you do something of note.
White House and Whitehouse, two different entities. Wake up, America! 😊
About time! This Justice should have been recusing... And not taking bribes.
Thomas should NEVER have made it onto the Court at all.
Republican AG: I will investigate, even if there is no evidence!
Merrick Garland: [wringing hands] IIIII doooon’t knoooow… We might make him mad…
Also ruble'n AG: "Open windows are niiiiiiiiiii... "
*cronch*
Garland is so derelict in his duties that he is actually complicit.
:}
@@beefandbarley So maybe Moscow Mitch was “stopped clock” right in keeping him off SCOTUS.
@@beefandbarley He is not complicit but he lacks a set of balls to do what is needed, he's just a weak man in an important job.
I make $40,000 a year and have to live off of that. Yet that dude can make really good money and still need to be corrupt as hell
Just try to imagine how hard it is to live on SS alone.
@@maryreeves357 Agreed. The wealth disparity in this country and around the world is shameful
I like Whitehouse. I'm glad there's people in congress that wanna do something about this
"no government official should be above the law"
Thomas and his buddies have already debunked this long held belief
Not yet.
Next supreme court ruling
"Supreme court judges are presumptively immune for anything they do as part of their official acts"
@@Sephiroso. Just think, if we would've been born into a trust found, how many sketchy things & laws we could get away with!
They didn't debunk anything, they overruled it. They made themselves "King Scotus."
@@aylbdrmadison1051 They just don't get it that they will be obsolete if trump becomes dictator. He also won't need Congress and will absolutely dissolve every federal agency in existence including FEMA, so no more help after hurricanes. Lookin at you Florida and Texas guvs. You want him there. 🤣
Well no wonder Thomas hinted to Judge Cannon in Florida that Special Counsels aren't legal. He knows one is going to be investigating him!
There needs to be an investigation into six of the justices and their finances, not just Thomas.
Impeach them.
Thanks to Sen. Whitehouse and my senator from Oregon, Sen. Wyden!
Just throwing this out there in case someone wants to show appreciation for this and have the means to donate or volunteer: Whitehouse is currently running for reelection. (Wyden's term doesn't end for a few years.)
Don't worry, Thomas will rule that investigating him is unconstitutional.
I wouldn't take that bet!
6-3
@@bore-alissYou don’t even need a crystal ball to predict this accurately
We really need Garland to respond with the standard “we don’t comment about ongoing investigations”
Garland is a coward who values the institution of the DOJ more than the rule of law
Sheldon whitehouse had a lot of good videos on the less than supreme court.
Worth a watch.
Any and ALL judgements made by Justice Thomas should be reviewed and invalidated AFTER a new Judge is appointed, if (WHEN) he is removed.
I really hope we get our collective hands back on the wheel in November - then there needs to be a reckoning.
Our hands are on the wheel right now.
There needs to be a reckoning but democrats have consistently refused to protect the constitution. They refused to expand the court even after it was obvious that republican fascists had stacked the court to end democracy. Now democracy is dead and they still haven't said anything about restoring it.
We need the house unfortunately.
Along with my awesome Wyden!
Impeach Thomas and arrest his wife.
Alito, as well.
Another amazing post! Sen. Whitehouse is spot on in asking for an investigation. Even the disclosed items, disclosed by Thomas himself, are disgusting and unacceptable. I just signed my ethics forms and attended training and I can't take gifts or anything. It is ridculous.
It is difficult to imagine someone more corrupt than Thomas...
I say imagine, because I don't need to imagine anything when it comes to trump and corruption.
got a laugh outta ma, good one~
At least two judges need to be charged with accepting bribes and three others need to be charged with perjury for lying under oath during their nomination hearings. All 5 need to be impeached. Then start again, only after Congress passes a term limit law. 10 years is long enough in my book. Our Constitution needs to grow as our nation does. It can't under these fools who have no fear of ever losing their position. No one deserves a lifetime appointment in a democratic republic if we want to grow and progress forward.
I can think of quite a few in national government and state government, the country is riddled with it now. Most government posts are a gravy train for corruption.
At least he's on notice that people are starting to fight back.
I find it absolutely amazing that the various members of our government think themselves as anything but civil servants; appointed to their jobs/positions in government. You're still a working class citizen! Not royalty, not an aristocrat, not any of those! You're still counted as 'We The People "!
The moment I saw Whitehouse as a single word I knew who you meant.
Whitehouse for President,......been saying this for a few years!!!
Biden2024
Everyone, and I mean _everyone,_ should check out Senator Whitehouse's 30+ part series presentation to the Senate, "The Scheme", easily found on his YT channel. From the Conservative party's reaction to the Civil Rights Movement and it's repurcussions, to the shifts in the Supreme Court and the Conservative's influence upon it, to the rise of arguably the Right's most intergral player in the last half of the 20th century, Leonard Leo, Whitehouse systematically dissects each facet, nuance, and shift as the Right maneuvered (successfully) a 40+ year power grab...and what's to be done about it for the future.
Hi Missy!
Abso-fucking-lutely everyone needs to see that shit.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will certainly check it out. Please recommend on other threads, as I wouldn’t have known about this and sure others may not be as well. Bravo!
I feel confident that Garland does not have the spine to actually appoint the Special Council.
Nor balls!
I have the same impression. He seems overly concerned with optics or the MAGA crowd. Perhaps he is not up for increased death threats. Whatever his concerns, when one takes a high office there will be pains. With the greater responsibility comes the risk that decisions made are unpopular-with someone. MAGA was around when he took the office, so if he cannot take the heat, then he really should step down.
Why is it that the "gifts" Thomas received aren't referred to as bribery? It seems like it's pretty blatant.
Because they ruled that it was a gratuity and therefore not illegal. Yeah I know it's like the investigators investigating themselves and finding no wrong doing.
To the chickens, the wolf is a murderer. But to the other wolves, he's just having dinner.
@@Carlins_Prophet Perhaps, but they aren't wolves. They are rats.
You sure give a lot of benefit of the doubt. That headline could be COMPLETELY DELIBERATE. I would not put that above any media in this day and age. The actions of the NYT and Washington Post in recent times does not lift them above suspicion.
Both run by CEO’s who support Trump 😅
It could be, but it's really common to just use a senator's last name.
We can't be sure in this particular case but we can all rest assured that the Whitehouse / White House thing will be purposefully propagandized by those who hate this country and have chose to profit from its destruction.
I find it a sad commentary that Americans do not know the difference between Whitehouse and White House….
"Sheldon, did you do that on purpose to get headlines?"
"I won't confirm or deny that, Mr. President."
I am SHOCKED that Tax Evasion is still considered a crime in the US.
Well…if you are a regular John. Q. Public or even a celebrity see how fast those folks find themselves in the pokey. If a high official in government-that is a different subject.
For maximum confusion, I really hope Senator Whitehouse runs for president at some point. "President Whitehouse" would sound hilarious.
I would like President Whitehouse to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave please.
Senator Whitehouse is my spirit animal...😎
Thank you Team Beau. Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
“No. Never. These allegations are false. I did not have loan forgiveness relations with that billionaire…”
Couldn't sleep until I hear Beau spin truth and facts. So, with that I'll say good morning!
If thomas is found guilty do his previous rulings become nullified?
If he is found guilty will he recuse himself from his appeal?
If he's found guilty, does it still go to SCOTUS if he appeals?
@@izilladkilla Congress has power and authority over SCOTUS. We need a huge majority in both houses to do anything.
Well if Garland goes into investigating Thomas with all the enthusiasm he showed investigating Trump then Thomas has no worries about completing his life term.
"I believe Anita"
I also believe Christine Blasey Ford
@@okkietrooy6841 Same!
Watched their hearings live, and felt let down both times the accused got seated to a lifetime appointment regardless.
Is it hot enough for you? 🇨🇦 Beau, you're going to be wearing that t-shirt a LOT! 👕
It certainly is humid enough for me, Crystal.
And it's the coldest it's ever been in the southern hemisphere & I'm a Kiwi!
Today wasn't too bad. Had a heavy rain shower in the afternoon, cooled everything down. Of course the humidity is always bad so I'm used to the 80% range.
I screen printed a few all xl, but amazon has them too.
He should also go after Alito and Kavanaugh, they have accepted gifts and had loan balances that disappeared with no explanation.
The 4th estate is charged with informing the electorate not sensationalizing a misleading headline for profit.
Putting Sen. in front of Whitehouse would have been responsible journalism.

Hi, everybody. You all have a good night, and pleasant dreams.

Good night Vern
NGL I have slight auditory processing issues and having Whitehouse and Wyden calling for this investigation gave me brain stutters!
Nevertheless, so glad these two Senators are pushing for this. We need more like them. #Vote2024🌊
Rhode Islander here, one of the states shouldn't have misunderstand the headlines at all 😊 Senator Whitehouse has been doing a great job staying on top of the Supreme Court, hopefully something comes of it.
Thanks for sending Whitehouse to the Senate. Have been a fan for years.
I think the important takeaway is that they are not just seeking an invetigation into ethical violations, but also criminal violations.
The tax code is very clear. A forgiven debt must be reported as income. He has received other 'incomes' as well.
Well howdy there late night and early morning internet people!
Sen Whitehouse's timing is good as no one can say he's interfering with the operation of the Court. This also calls into question the leadership of the Chief Justice that allowed this to take place and NOT respond more forcefully. It's past time that the Justices are re.inded that they are CO-Equal branches and Congress DOES have an oversight role.
Senator Whitehouse is a HERO! I've been a big fan and his "SCHEME" Presentations are just some of the best.
Thanks Beau & Crew 🙏✌️
Dude, if I won 20k on a game show I'd have to pay taxes.
4 million $$ !
Senator Whitehouse has been documenting and speaking about Judiciary capture for years. His "Scheme" speeeches have been building up to this. As more info came to light he continually brought it forward for public record. He and Bernie might be the two hardest working democracy warriors we have in office. They're truly on the side of we the people.
So glad to see Senator Whitehouse getting recognition for his great work.
Senator Whitehouse is a senator who actually does work for the people.
Balls in your court, Mr. Garland. Stand and Deliver!!!
Thanks, Beau! I will sleep a little better tonight with this story.
Seriously? Why? Nothing is going to become of a special counsel. Nothing has ever happened because of a special counsel in the last 9 years!!
If Biden wins the White House in November, his first action must be to appoint a new AG. Someone who has testicles. May I suggest Tish James!
Garland won't touch this, and we all know it. Heaven forbid he should appear partisan.
Thank you for the update on Senator Whitehouse
I knew right away. 🤣
Sheldon has done most of the names and numbers work, s.c. can dig deeper and quicker.
Here's an idea. Anyone assuming an appointment for life should divest themselves of all assets and financial entanglements, given that their physical needs are more than adequately provided for. You want an impartial judge? Take them out of the greed equation.
Beau, even your body language and calm eyes relaxes me. Thanks for another needed shot of rationality.
Please, don't stop there. I wanna know who paid off Justice Boofing's debts.
And an investigation into the tipsto the FBI that were not allowed to be investigated.
It’s Funny how the way information is presented changes the meaning.
I already knew about senator Whitehouse, and questioned the title immediately. So I thought that Beau was slipping. Good to know this is being addressed to put things in context. Perhaps Beau can tutor some of these so-called news-persons.

Howdy Peeps 😊
HI, Enrico!
Hi there Enrico.
Looking into Thomas would only confirm what the conscious already know. That being he’s as crooked as a dogs hind leg. I don’t know if I have confidence the powerful will really even do this basic step. The SCOTUS of today may possibly be the worst in our entire history and that’s saying quite a bit.
There really needs to be some reform happening there.
May possibly be . No doubt about it they are
You can’t tell me that headline isn’t meant to stir up confusion and rage. Shame on them for that sort of dishonesty.
I hope the Justice Department does pick this ball up and runs with it.
Good night everybody!
If Garland stays consistent he'll drag his feet for a couple years, then appoint a special counsel with a restrictive sliver of what can be investigated.
Garland is so derelict in his duties that he is complicit in Trump’s crimes.
I request, that all of them are going to be investigated by special counsel. The entire court is corrupt and should only serve a term and then they're out on their butts.
Having just listened to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse on a few issues, this one just prior to watching this, I knew it wasn't the White House.
Wooo Wyden! My Senator!
The problem is that Merrick Garland will drag his feet on deciding if he wants to appoint an investigative team.
It would have been so much better if McConnell had failed in installing Gorsuch.
Merrick Garland would be a perfecty adequate Supreme Court Justice.
I am a Senator Whitehouse fan! I respect his knowledge and professionalism. So glad that he is doing this.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse does his research, his work digging into federal government issues.
Short version, he's no slacker.
🇨🇦 I immediately knew who "Whitehouse" is, and that's kind of funny having a foreigner recognize the name when American people don't.
He's also a lawyer with considerable experience.
