- June 5 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports to discuss the ethics crisis at the Supreme Court after Justice Samuel Alito was found flying MAGA battle flags at two of his residences.
Thank you for your service, Senator.
This is what bravery looks like, in our Home of The Brave.
Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse you are the voice in the senate. You speak for all of us⚖️ 🗳️💙🇺🇸
Keep fighting senator Whitehouse
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. Keep up the pressure campaign!
Many Americans have cried for 8 long years. When will this tragedy, this madness end? Thank you Senator Whitehouse and the Justices that are honest.
I stand with Bernie Sanders and Sheldon Whitehouse and Katie Porter because *BERNIE* *SANDERS* *AND* *SHELDON* *WHITEHOUSE* *AND* *KATIE* *PORTER* *STAND* *FOR* *US!!!!!*
Jamie Raskin too!!
I guess all politicians take money from different groups and people but when it comes to the two justice's alito and thomas they should not be allowed to have a say in any of trumps cases .
Jasmine Crocket!!
Yes, these 4 are the only ones I'd really trust to legislate, oversee the court, and run this country. Eric Swalwell too and Ro Khanna.
@@sule4578Remember Fang Fang? Yeah, I’d really trust a man who was accused of “courting” a Chinese spy. I’m a Republican and I don’t mind the majority of Democrats, (including Khanna).. but Swalwell? No thank you.
Senator Whitehouse is a true American hero ❤
4 more years Joe 2024 🇺🇸
Save our freedom, sanity and democracy 🇺🇸
AMERICA NEEDS TO END THIS RIGHT WING MADNESS
Absolutely...this is ridiculous
they are lunatics all. The people must speak out and demand the court to clear itself of the crooks.
justice Sota Mayor needs to EXPLICITLY call out the republican judges for being biased and acting as Trump's agent.
She is not the majority and needs to tread lightly because of the work environment she would create by doing so.. She is rightly sounding the alarm. Listen!
@@maryscott-ez2xeBullcrap. She's part of the problem, possibly deliberately.
we are in PERIL of losing our democracy. she needs to explicity speak out.
It's not just Trump, it's the whole MAGA movement, which has been building toward this for the last 50 years. People like Sotomayor, Whitehouse, Democrats in general - believe in the system, and that's why they are so ineffective in dealing with these right wing fascists - whose goal it is to destroy the system.
@@rowyourboat5361 She needs the support of the people. Nothing will happen until the people express their constitutional rights.
They should be voted in and out by the people just like anyone else
Thank you for finally taking a more high-profile stand and publicizing what SCOTUS is doing and how unaccountable they are behaving. A couple months late to start ringing these alarms but better late than never. Roberts sealed his legacy with his disregard and idiocy in response to the Senate.
Coward.
If controversial flags flying over Alito's homes does not give the appearance of bias and impropriety, then what does?
Whitehouse and Raskin for the White House!!!
And Dan Goldman and Eric Swalwell. Democrat Beauts❤
@rf15 - The DreamTeam!!!!! ⛅️⛅️⛅️⛅️⛅️⛅️
Thank you Sen.Whitehouse✨🇺🇸✨
Those Justices need to Step Down....They are a Disgrace to our Justice System.....They should be Investigated and Removed from their seat.....NOW!!!!!
One good thing...the FBI can investigate and prosecute scotus judges just like everybody else 👍🏼💯
Alito and Thomas and kavanau and Roberts should refuse themselves from the cases that involve trump and cannon . SENATOR WHITE HOUSE IS A GOD SEND TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. VOTE BLUE AMERICA FOR OUR FREEDOM AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS
Alito must be impeached!
Alito needs Betty Ford Looney Bin😅😅
Jailed,and financial retribution in the million.
@@user-sx6yb1wn1t Then a lifetime appt. In Guantanamo.
With Mrs.
I think it's time for Biden to step in and put more justices of his choosing in the supreme Court
Congress has to back him and we know who the loudest voices are in Congress right now.
Thank goodness we have smart, honest, principled, capable people like Senator Whitehouse fighting on behalf of truth, justice, and fairness.
Lady justice u must fight not cry!
Her vote can only do so much. She is in the minority on the court.
HE MUST RECUSE ☝️🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸
LET US PRAY FOR THE RAT😅😅
Senator Whitehouse speaks for those of us who see the wrong doing and want something done about it. Thank you
alito and thomas should recuse themselves from all of trunps trial decisions and cases .
One thing that really shines with him is his Integrity and my God but we need more of it in government!
term limits for supreme court.
The Supreme SCROTUMS are beyond limits. The Outer Limits. Too bad Thelma and Louise aren't their chauffeurs.😅😅
You are on point , Thank You.
Mr President put more Justice in the COURT, 15 or something like that... Now , please... just saying!
I agree
@@therealvirgoqueen6553 Never had a single thing to condemn the SC about other than the decisions , NOW, damn
Or - and maybe this is a wild idea - how about not having politicians be in charge of who is in the Supreme Court. Maybe it should be based on their history of rulings and expertise, not preference of certain politicians.
At least one per circuit. Makes sense
Keep up the pressure! None of the judges there are as impervious to pressure as is TFG. They’ll cave first.👍🏻
Sen.whithouse you're one of just a few representatives that I'm proud of and find hope in the malignancy that has become US government, thank you and your staff for the work you're all doing 😊
Closing the door and weeping defines confirms institutionalized dysfunction..... court or family.
Senator, thank you for fighting the good fight. Your no b.s. approach is noticed and greatly appreciated in every item you tackle. The no umpire baseball analogy is spot on!
Alito: "I can't control my wife, but I can control YOUR wife."
Hell yes! Thank you!
I’m an American living in Canada, watching what’s going on there is terrifying.
All my Canadian friends and relatives are also terrified.
If you’ve never voted now is the time to change that.
Thank you, both 💙💙!
Keep calling out the corruption of SCROTUS, Sen. Whitehouse.👍
Thank you Senator!
Father bring in your Wisdom and Justice. Help those who are playing by the rules find a way to solve this issue speedily!
In Jesus' name amen 🙏 Psalm 34:14 thank you God ✝️ Amen.
Thank you.
Baseball analogies are awesome
We as a nation are so forunate to have Senator Whitehouse.
Alito is rightly in the news and should recuse himself. I'm concerned that too many have forgotten the grave concerns about Thomas, whose wife was directly involved in efforts to overthrow the nation. We should never mention Alito without mentioning Thomas and vice versa. Both should recuse. If they aren't willing to recuse, it seems Roberts should do all he can to pressure them to do so.
Excellent interview, Sen Whitehouse
Thank you Senator, for fighting for we the American People's rights. I fear that Lady Justice is being forgotten and hidden. She doesn't exist any longer. Please continue to fight for us.
The Supreme Court has gone off the rails. We need to vote blue in November to try to reverse the corruption and insanity!!!
There is not enough justices on the bench. We've got 13 Appellate courts and only 9 justices. The senate can fix this. Vote for democracy.
Senator Whitehouse, you have my sympathy at having to appear on a program with Andrea Mitchell! This poor woman is so old, having hearing and speech impediments, that I am amazed she can continue to sit upright, much less to try to deliver the news! Thank you for your patience and service!
Who benefits from the chaos?
That's always the right quedtion. Who indeed?
The Supreme Court needs to be more accountable otherwise they can ride roughshod over all and everything that makes America great.
Whitehouse for the White House!
This man deserves lots more listeners. He could teach a lot of young people how dumb so many adults are in this country.
Lots more.
SCOTUS: multiple rules strictly enforced for thee, but not for me.
So, are Americans held hostage by the Supreme Court Justices? If so, how do we escape/overturn their stronghold? Is this a hopeless situation that leaves Americans as Hostages? Please there Must be a Solution or Americans will be diagnosed with nationwide Depression 😢.
The unethical Supreme Court, currently runs the USA
Why hasn't Geni Thomas been served a supeana ?!
Plenty of proof funneling lots of cash too !
Don't cry SJ. Act. You err in your work.
You are bad to the bone, Senator Whitehouse, and I mean that in a good way.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
They need to go they have no business being in there
Sen Whighthouse please don’t ever let go. Only you can do this. You weigh so heavy and no one else can do it in such a high manner.
If you haven't already, listen to Senator Whitehouse's podcast Making the Case. He tells you the whole story about stacking the court (SCOTUS). It took decades.
As ordinary people expect these 9 supreme judges display higher decency, gentlemanly behavior than all others in the US.
Well said, good talk
Not the only one to cry when they hear SCOTUS decisions. Every jurist can smell the taint and knows something Is off. The Chief Justice has a duty to address the problem or face impeachment. The answer is for at least two Justices to retire to save the Court from facing impeachment proceeding that will scar the reputation of the court for the foreseeable future.
She should not be on the bench if making it up to the states to decide whether or not they want to defend the LIFE of infants in the womb. Makes her sad..SMH!
Mjore must recuse. Too much, too soon.
OH GOD!
HOW DARE SHE NOT FIGHT FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS 😡👿
She has 1 vote, and is in the minority
Oversight now! NOW! N O W!!!!
Sotomayor is an enabler of the most corrupt court in history.
Rather than feeling sorry for herself, she should speak up for the rule of law. 4:06
All the justices must speak out!!!MUST!! NOW!! let us hear what side they are on if they have any honor. This is outrageous and disgusting. Where are the people? Where is the press? Where are all the law schools and professors and lawyers? What in hell is happening. Is all America cowards?
@@maryprater7693 Mary well written. The news stations spent hours talking about Cohen's testimony and America is being distracted from the real issues.
Lock Criminal Trump up !!
Give a criminal a code of ethics! Parlay 😅
They forget who's paying them whoops probably not us
We pay them, just not as much as they believe their worth.
Watching the world self destruct...
I hate to think that this is our justice system, the Not-So-Supreme Court.
Crooked is as crooked does, and they're going to police themselves? Ha, what a joke.
Why are so ‘immunity rulings’ even a thing? Since when have any of us ever believed that anyone is above the law? I feel like I’m Alice in Wonderland caught in a bad fever dream and can’t wake up. Please make Trump, Alito, Thomas, MJT - all of them go away!
White House looks angry. I feel and share his anger
Subpeona them and if they don't show up, send the Federal Marshalls out to drag them before Congress. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW and EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW.
I'd vote for Whitehouse for president. #Whitehouse2024
What I don’t understand about flying the US flag upside down is that I thought Old Glory was supposed to be treated with respect, or you were regarded as a traitor.
Now people are flying it upside down, and it just doesn’t seem to perturb many US citizens. .
Great Senator Whitehouse and Andrea, thank you! I don’t know the origin, during the formulation of the constitution, of the term “Supreme “ Court. But could it be that certain current inhabitants take the term personally and literally 😉😢?
Whitehouse!!!
at least Andrea managed to stay relatively awake throughout this one 😂
Ya she cried,please.
Alito is not going to recuse himself he is knee deep in gifts accepted from millionaires and billionaires he owes them a huge favor and he will rather see the country go down in flames he is in good hands already. Same as Thomas
Good luck.
The Supreme Court judges are supreme and no one can bring justus to the American people. Stop their dishonesty.
Term limits
What can we do ???
“myriad scandals”…”of” is incorrect & redundant (it’s in the definition)
THANKS for all your good and ethical doings
Absolute power without responsibilities means despotism. Vote, it is your chance to give your opinion.
courts top has rotted..rules..facts..soo sad.
Please hurry Senator Whitehouse, before they release trump from his accountability.
Bannon is going to Jail.
When TF is Jinny GOING?
Decent Lady Sotomayor. Praying she can make a difference. I'm sure they can.
FIrst reported in the Boston Globe, and later in the Ledger November 3, 2005, I read that in college (Princeton), Alito gave a staunch defense of privacy and gay rights urging legalization of sodomy. He was marrried to the law librarian Mrs. Alito at age 35. What happened? No privacy for women? I don't understand. What changed his mind about privacy?
This is why we have the fourth estate. And they've done their job. It's time for Congress to get off their ass and do theirs. And either set term limits or ethics rules that have teeth! Quit wasting our time.
Against Trump
Vote BLUE up and down your ticket in state and federal elections including governorships, all. Tell the this corruption must end now.
Framing this as a partisan battle is a disservice to America. Democrats aren't the only ones calling for Alito to recuse. The appearance of bias is not really up for debate here, nor are recusal standards.
It's painful to listen to Andrea Mitchell. How hard can it be to find someone who can speak firmly and fluently?
Those who care for the future of the human race may well ponder this advice. “If long-cherished ideals and time-honoured institutions, if certain social assumptions and religious formulae have ceased to promote the welfare of the generality of mankind, if they no longer minister to the needs of a continually evolving humanity, let them be swept away and relegated to the limbo of obsolescent and forgotten doctrines. Why should these, in a world subject to the immutable law of change and decay, be exempt from the deterioration that must needs overtake every human institution? For legal standards, political and economic theories are solely designed to safeguard the interests of humanity as a whole, and not humanity to be crucified for the preservation of the integrity of any particular law or doctrine.”
It is baffling at how lame the American populous has become . We only have ourselves to blame by not nipping it in it's bud many years ago . Now with both houses on the take the road to making this world better becomes more difficult by the day . Common sense has left the building . RFKJr is our ONLY road out of this Fuck Fest by the ruling class of Billionaires.
Why didn’t Sotomayor recuse herself when the publisher of her books (that she sent her aides to run around the country and sell)were before the Supreme Court- twice? Btw, Mr Whitehouse- what are “MAGA battle flags?” The “Appeal to Heaven” flag- that has flown over Capitol building in California for decades?
