The Scheme 30: An Update on the Captured Supreme Court
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2024
- March 21 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Courts Subcommittee, delivers the thirtieth in a series of speeches titled “The Scheme,” exposing the machinations by right-wing donor interests to capture the Supreme Court and achieve through the Court what they cannot through the elected branches of government.
Whitehouse recaps what we know about the right-wing special interest Court capture operation and the ethics-free zone around the Supreme Court. Whitehouse also provides an update on his ongoing legislative and oversight efforts on courts issues.
Mr. WHITEHOUSE. THANK YOU, THE S C HAS TAKEN MONEY UNDER THE TABLE FOR YEARS. STAY WITH IT AND God Bless you.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
I think we need time limits
They should be forced to follow the law like we do
That may sound like a good plan but in reality, a judge could get in there and do a lot of damage and feel beholden to whoever nominated them. They would in effect be owned.
The reason they give Supreme Court justices a lifetime appointment is so they don't have to worry about being beholden to anyone. But as we all can see, when there's no accountability to anyone or any agency, their absolute power corrupts absolutely.
@@VTKingdomsawingThat's the need for term limits. Let the people vote for them every 10 years. Transparency is needed to vet e everyone we want to represent us.
@@user-hi4vo1cn7r I get what you're saying my friend, And I agree that that would be better but I think we can exist in the system we have for appointing supreme Court justices But there needs to be checks and balances amongst branches that are legitimate. Real accountability can't exist in near impossible impeachment proceedings.
@@VTKingdomsawing you make good sense on both points.
@@VTKingdomsawing Thank you. I agree 👍
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. You do fine work and the whole country should be proud of your service.
This should be shown in college classrooms and on public television everywhere. We all need to be aware of how this works and be kept up to date in order to help us make educated choices on who we vote for.
Mind boggling presentation by Senator Whitehouse. This gentleman deserve a medal of honor for his service to his country.
Don't forget his STAFF. And the Great State of Rhode Island of an AWESOME team. Sec. Raimondo (Secretary of Commerce), Rep. Reed, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse.
I didnt know the others invloved. Thanks for educating me on these believers in the law!@robertlee8805
Agreed!
Sheldon Whitehouse and Katie Porter for 2028. I don’t care which one gets the top seat. I love it when they bring the receipts!
you don't think Rush Limbaugh deserved his?
I have lost ALL faith in the Supreme court! I have no more respect for them !
I would say a good part of the American public have no respect
@@OMMXxPeNnYI agree
I have to qualify that by saying the conservative majority.
@@fairyprincess911 The conservative majority has a lot criminal activity going on and they are desperate to stay out of prison with trump .
That respect was failing years ago, but it's gone from respect to becoming a really ugly joke.
*Thank you very much, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, for your great, clear and conscientious work. God bless you!* Greetings from Switzerland.
Keep hammering this home, Senator. The creeping, insidious corruption on the Right is truly shocking and completely intolerable.
Keep up the excellent work Senator Whitehouse !!!! Expose the corruption !!!
Leonard Leo should be in prison
Absolutely
Along with all of the owners of the Scotus.
Yes he should have been in prison twenty years ago.
Thomas too.
and Harlan Crowe and Clarence Thomas ...
The smartest, articulate, and hardest working Senator in Congress…the new “ Lion of the Senate”
In the 'SENATE'...not congress
The Senate is one half of Congress.
Maybe he is the smartest, articulate, and hardest working man in both, therefore Congress.
Much respect to Rhode Islanders for voting Sheldon into office. A true American championing the will of the People!
This is terrifying. Thank you for all you do for all of us Senator.
It is so refreshing to hear someone tell the truth. I would vote for this man for anything!
I agree
It would be great if he was a little bit younger. He could be the president.
@@robertlee8805Imagine, Whitehouse in the White House
I have lost all confidence in the American Justice System. I never thought I would ever witness the flagrant dismissal of the deadly actions of the highchair tyrant and traitor - trump. I am done! What was the minimum requirements of the DOJ? It's embarrassing and the lack of action by the DOJ places me and all other American citizens in imminent danger and that of the U.S. Constitution. I no longer trust our justice system!
@@robertlee8805 He's not too old. Just because he's got white hair doesn't mean he's too old. I don't know how old he is but, he could serve two terms easily. I'm guessing he's in his early 70's. We do need to get much younger blood in Congress and to serve as POTUS, VPOTUS & SCOTUS.
Thank you so much, Senator Whitehouse! Please never give up!
Senator Whitehouse sets the standard for what his coworkers should strive for.
One Gigantic shell game!! WOW
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, don’t hold back, it’s time to tell all Americans what needs to happen so changes can be made!!
VOTE ALL BLUE 2024
It’s time to expand the Court. Voting rights, Women’s Rights,
Women voting for Trump is the reason they have no rights.... Barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen
After the election Joè and the Dems win it all. They have a lot of plans. Child Tax Credit will begin again. 2025 is going to help the removal of several MAGAT will be gone. It's going to be amazing. 🎉
I have this sneaky suspicion that:
- If President Biden wins re-election
AND
- If the Democrats have majority in the Senate after November
expanding the Supreme Court may be on President Biden’s agenda.
What are women's rights?
@@lynnmoser6918 14th and 19th amendments might help you get started
❌. Love you, Senator Whitehouse. Nobody is doing what you do, you’re a prince, as well as a senator, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Remove the corruption, go directly to jail.
Vote blue up and down the ballot especially including judges
I would have disagreed, because I believe in balance- however at this point, respectable Republicans are all but gone.
Agreed. The ЯEPUBLIꞰAИ party is loyal to Putin and his PUPPET, Trump! The only way to restore the RIGHTS the SCOTUS has taken away it to VOTE BLUE in ALL ELECTIONS!!! 💙💙💙
No 3rd Party. Vote Biden/Harris 💙 🇺🇸
No I am voting for Kennedy.
@@blueowlwill8754
Your reason is?
Thank you Senator Whitehouse.
Keep Working Senator Whitehouse and Speaking 🗣️ Truth Be Told 🗽 🇺🇲 💙✨
That was an excellent breakdown of what is happening and going in my opinion criminally wrong in the Supreme Court. Please keep putting the truth out there for people to make informed decisions.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse.
The DOJ should investigate this
As a Canadian I am at a loss to see what has happened in such a short time, since Orange man took the whitehouse and turned it black. Please people get out and vote Blue God knows what will happen if you dont
Ha! Ha! Ha! Tell that to Merrick Garland, the DOJ could already be one of those "Captured Agencies"! I understand that whilst Merrick Garland has in the past, worked closely with "The Federalist Society", I understand he is not a member and he was blocked as a Supreme Court Justice!
@@Wicky173
Actually so is our SC. Sheldon is just trying to accelerate our downfall. Some people are self-destructive, they even want to do away with their own elected position. That's what Brandon wants. They are ushering in everybody's downfall.
These corrupt justice's must be removed from the court...immediately....thank you Senator Whitehouse....
And with that...I yield the floor.
Wait! Don't stop there. Somehow, I think this honest Senator. Has no intention of stopping. Nice to see integrity. In our government.
Thank you Sir
Can we start with Clarence Thomas.... let's not exclude his rotten wife.
They need to be behind bars to keep this from just blithely being committed over and over again…..
And how do think that’s going to happen with republicans in Congress that are not going to vote to remove these justices?
@@robbiedemoss3224 with a super majority in house and Senate with president Biden....
Thank you, thank you, thank you Senator Whitehouse! Your relentless investigation into the Supreme Court justices’ corruption schemes and the people and entities behind the justices and then bringing your findings to the public’s attention is invaluable. Please continue!
Sen. Whitehouse, you are a HERO. Thank you.
Senator, your honor and courage are deeply appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse hopefully we will see some reform this decade. Keep up the good fight !
Only if the Democratic party is voted into a super majority will anything great happen. We must vote the Republican Criminal Organization out of any more power than to conduct themselves to the toilet or it's business as usual. The GOP is receiving enough graft to choke a mule and won't ever cooperate to the degree that is necessary for the reform that is needed to have better governance.
@@gwayne919 Well said !!
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! Your hard work is greatly, greatly appreciated! God bless snd keep you!!!💪💙🌊😎🇺🇸🗽
Keep up the great work Senator. The Republican Supreme Court is no longer about equal justice.
GO WHITEHOUSE!!!!! Great work!!!!
I would vote for this man to be president
Exactly! I agree!
Many would...but he's not a power monger wanting power.
Oh, yes! So would I!
Great Idea...with Glen Kirchner as DOJ...Naomi Klein for EPA secretary, Debbie Holland, Anthony Blinken, Pete Butegig, and all the other great cabinet after Biden&Harris finish the job ...in 2028...
We need him right where he is! Who else is sniffing out all the corruption? He wouldn’t have time to do that if he was president.
Thank you for your excellent work Sen. Whitehouse. It is very encouraging to see that the ethics violations and shady shenanigans going on with the Supreme court are being brought to light and investigated. Keep up the good work on behalf of fairness and judicial integrity!
Wow! What a clear, well received presentation. The country will win with leadership like this.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse, you are a National and Worldwide Treasure, keep up the great work and God Bless You!!!
Excellent overview! Thank you, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse! Help take back America and end, corruption and fascism in our highest court!… Spread this video far and wide!! ❤️🇺🇸
That's the reason all the problems it's going on in this country is from the supreme Court because you're not doing their job they're on vacation all the time and the rich guys are making them do the dirt for them when it comes to companies and stuff like that is corruption we don't need it and they lied about roe versus Wade the the you know all of them except for the Democrat ones that's why they took roe versus Wade because Trump does Trump told him to do it that's not how it works
thank you Senator Whitehouse, we need more like you!
Thank you so much, Senator - may God give you strength, and keep you safe.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse. You are appreciated every day!
Thank you for clarification and education. We look forward to ending billionaire ownership of OUR highest court.
Sheldon Whitehouse, informative, clear, concise, direct, great orator, honorable, thank you for your service to your constituents and the American people!
This is so enlightening. Great work Senator Whitehouse !
The corruption of the highest court in the land knows no bounds.
Do they actually do any real work??
My confidence in SCOTUS is 0% , my confidence in you, Senator Whitehouse, is 100%. Thank you for all you do to resolve issues and restore our democracy.
He is the BEST!!!
He's like Toto in "The Wizard of Oz," who pulls the curtain back to reveal the "wizard." Bravo, Senator Whitehouse!
You're being propagandized into believing anything coming from dims,.
I have negative confidence in them. I have more confidence that they will act in bad faith than in good faith.
This Senator is correct! The Republicans cheated to get the radical Judges appointed! Mitch McConnell held up the vote for Obama's right to appoint a SCOTUS! If they hadn't cheated, the court would have stayed unbiased!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse and staff for your work.
He must have a dynamite staff.this is amazing what he ha done and doing. SenaorWhitehouse needs to be in the election after the 2025th.we need him here for now.boywhatare we going to learn for the next 4 years?!! W
Thank you for all you do, Senator Whitehouse!
Thank you Senator for not ignoring the horrible corruption of our supreme court and for following through on investigating them.
Hopefully we can get rid of the bad apples and keep the ones who are ethical.
Thank you, for your diligence on the Supreme Courts members questionable decisions! This will save our Democracy!
Thank you senator Whitehouse. It was a breath of fresh air to find out about these active investigations.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse! We appreciate you and your hard work!
Thank you congressman for your work, you make a difference with your honest and integrity workmanship!
Heroic efforts Senator...
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all your hard work and diligence, in presenting all the facts to the American people.
Awesome!! Thank you so much! Senator: Sheldon .WELL DONE!
I never thought I’d say this, but it’s actually an honor to have this man serving my home state. He’s a hero. He’s been ringing this bell a long time, and we should be paying more attention.
I've missed you so much Senator Sheldon Whitehouse! You are loved! Thank you for your research!
If you're from his state you've got 3 COOL folks in positions that WILL help our country and its Citizens. Sec. Of Commerce Raimondo, House Rep. Reed and of course Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. You've got some GOOD PEOPLE in RHODE ISLAND serving our country. Proud
to be neighboring to the good people of your state.
Whitehouse never ceases to impress.
Thank you very much Senator Whitehouse and you staff for all you do. More power to you all. Beat the bad, empower the good.
Senator Whitehouse , I see few if no GOP members sit and listen to your fact-finding presentations, but know that Americans are watching and I like many hope significant policy change is made against our disgraceful Supreme Court, although not all members are guilty of these crimes. The incredibly unethical spiral of our disgraced Supreme Court has to be rectified. Thank you for your incredible dedication and for educating Americans. Bless you, Sheldon 😊
Thank you Senator for cleaning house.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. for bringing this situation to the forefront and educating the American Public. It is so obvious our Judicial system is partisan and corrupt. Especially Judge Cannon. I feel these judges should be elected into their seat by the American People to avoid this corruption.
How many people actually research the judges when setting out to vote? I read up on them - and it’s not that easy. I had a friend whose mother was a judge and I was better able to talk about who was running etc. I no longer have that gift (They have since passed on) and i get a headache researching these people. I can tell you that the majority of people will not put this work in. So that needs to change as well.
@@catpaladin1the people have proven that they are moved by lies and not the truth..look at tRumps rise to power..I think that a well-educated committee or panel of judges (say 10) could be appointed by a vote in the senate could stop some of the corruption that's happened in the past with a single president( as we've had, with no knowledge of the law or how it works) making those appointments ..also needed are term limits and rules...
The same people who elected Trump, and nearly did it again?
Thank you, sincerely, Senator Whitehouse! Thank you for taking up this very serious problem of this abhorrent, captured, manipulated court.
Please, please, please start impeachment of Clarence Thomas and the other dirty justices. And strip them of all benefits paid for by the American people! No retirement, no medical benefits!!!!!
Brilliant Senator. We need more like him
Thank you senator whitehouse
Senator Whitehouse ! You are CORRECT ! It is VERY DAMAGING . The SUPREMELESS Court needs to be reprimanded .
Love Sheldon Whitehouse's brilliance and courage!
Why doesn't Congress impeach at least 2 of the corrupt SCOTUS Justices. Senator Whitehouse and myself can't be the only ones who care about this. I've been following this, thanks to Senator Whitehouse, for years!
We need to give them a blue wave and then a paper wave of letters demanding the removal of those so-called Justices who have dishonored this oaths and this country.
Congress? Currently Congress loves the corrupt Supreme Court. They’re not gonna do anything.
As long as Congress is held captive by Magamembers NOTHING WILL be DONE
Thank you Senator Whitehouse !!!
This is where we need to focus. Thank you Senator Whitehouse.
Supremely court should be barred from any decision making as of NOW
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! I have learned so much from you and have completely lost faith in the Supreme Court.
He is brilliant ❤
Thanks for doing all this research Senator Whitehouse.
good job senator. now you what i call a senator. keep em in the news and let us no what they up too. good job
Thank you Senator! You are greatly admired and I am grateful that you stand for our democracy. For the truth.
Putting out nonsense like this garnishes no admiration from normal people. What a loud mouth jerk.
There’s no one more enlightening in D.C. Thank you Senator 🙏✌️
Great breakdown Senator Whitehouse! No one is above the law. This should be remembered and applied accordingly.
I salute your courage, your ethics, your decency Nd your integrity. God bless senator Whitehouse
These people must be held accountable and punished for their behavior and destruction of our democracy and liberty freedom and justice for all. These people are criminals.
Leonard Leo is a good place to begin.
After cheato, of course.
@@toowiseforyou yelp
But they don’t think so. To them it is just business as usual.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
Yes, Senator Whitehouse is a true American hero!
Thank you Sheldon. You and your investigative team will go own in history as true American heroes of or time. 🇺🇸
Good Job Senator Whitehouse. What a lot of investigative work to reveal Corruption in plain sight.
Thank you Sir!
How come Sheldon Whitehouse is never thought of as a potential Democratic candidate for President?
He's always saying something intelligent, seems personable!!
And I keep saying it
Sheldon Whitehouse,
belongs in
the Whitehouse 🏛️🇺🇸🗽
He's also very much needed where he is. When you are President your hands are tied on a lot and with many issues at one time. As a Senator, he and his staff can dig in and concentrate on an issue. But I don't disagree he would make a great President. Vote blue 💙💙
@@catbb1000i agree with this. And who is saying he even wants to be president? Isn’t it sad that the people whom we want to run likely wont for a variety of reasons
He is certainly worthy of consideration if he wanted to run for president. But it’s good to remember that being a great Senator doesn’t always translate to being a president. They are two different jobs. I am so impressed by Whitehouse as a senator and I hope he starts getting more recognition. Corruption in SCOTUS is undermining our country.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!
Thank you for all you do to help us through this scandalous conduct of the Supreme Court
THANK YOU Senator Whitehouse! I wish there were more people like you. Thank you so much for your excellent work.
Transparency is important.
CONGRESS needs to change our Supreme Court judges to have 4 years term and more than 8 years to STOP DARK MONEY IN OUR GOVERNMENT TO STOP CORRUPTED POLITICIANS.
Senator Whitehouse, you are stellar! Thank you for your investigation & bringing all of this to light. Hopefully, it will lead to ousting corrupt judges!😢
Thanks to you & Robert Reich for staying on top of this! We can't be distracted & let this go as it's way too important!
Thank you for all your hard work hopefully one day will be able to hold the Supreme Court accountable for all their misdeeds
This man is the best we have
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! There are a lot of reasons to be cynical and give up hope these days. People like you are the reason I still have faith in our future.
Senator Whitehouse is SO DAMNED GOOD AT HIS JOB!! Thank you, Senator, for shedding light on this crucial problem. 👏 👏 👏
Thanks for your integrity 😊
Senator Whitehouse, you are the best. We appreciate you and your team for continuing to dig through the dirt on these people. 👏 I wish we had more like you.
Every American should see this and share it!!
My heart is broken, the Supreme Court, I believed in it, I was so proud of the Supreme Court.
You sir are so excellent at what you do for the good of our United States democracy 🇺🇲👏🙏💙🌊
Now this is an heroic Representative! Whitehouse for President.
2028
Thank you Sir, the way you explained things are very, very, clear.
