- March 12 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) remarks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing entitled “The Right Side of History: Protecting Voting Rights in America.”
As always I commend Senator Whitehouse for his unbridled honesty and hope he continues speaking truth to power. May the voters and the courts listen to him.
You are nearly the only politician calling the Capture of SCOTUS outright, and I thank you so much for that. I very much appreciate you and your honesty, honor, and tenacity, Sir: Mr. Whitehouse, you are a national treasure.
He says, "The right wing capture of SCOTUS." Very appropriately!
How isn’t this front page news? I don’t recognize our country anymore.

*SHARE!* *SHARE!!* *SHARE!!!* *SHARE!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Our country is not our country no more. We are under siege waiting to see who our dictator is going to be thanks to the Republican party
Wish there were more like Senator Whitehouse in government today. The corruption just keeps getting more blatant. 💙🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💙
Keep holding them accountable, Senator Whitehouse! And thanks for championing the rights and dignity of the average citizen while you're in Congress.
Thank you again Senator Whitehouse for all you do for us. I for one deeply appreciate it.
We, among many.
Thank you Sheldon Whitehouse for shedding light on this very very important issue. The Supreme Court cannot continue to ignore the facts and the majority opinions of the lower courts and make up their own facts It's just too destructive and harmful and undermines are the Democratic Republic. I'm posting this on my Facebook page.
All eyes on the Supreme Court. The Americans Highest Court. Very good job Senator Whitehouse. Thank you. From your fellow American.
Senator Whitehouse is so articulate and a champion of judicial fairness. He needs to hold higher office. He can be trusted.
I can see him as POTUS.
Yes, or VP.
Perhaps he wants to finish his essential senate work first.
But wouldn't he be the most amazing individual to face T in the election! Imagine the debates!
Yes, we need Whitehouse in the Whitehouse in 2028.

Trump doesn't do debates. He never debated one candidate in the primaries. If he is forced into debating Biden before November, he will just spue lie after lie. Even if the moderator fact checked him on the spot, Trump will just say the same lie again. ..and the Maga base will cheer every time he does.
Trump could start flinging his own feces on stage and they would go wild as if he scored a touchdown at the SuperBowl
Trump doesn't debate he puts on a sideshow of chaos for his base.
Tell it like it IS, Senator Whitehouse. Thank you for ALL you do. You so clearly explain everything. Thank you for your support of Democracy.
Another strong statement from Senator Whitehouse, stating nothing but facts. Thank you so much Senator for continuing to bring this issue to the forefront. Keep up the great work.
May the John Lewis Voting Rights Act be passed and enforced as it was intended !
Absolutely! Ends ALL gerrymandering, supports, protects & expands voting rights. Keeps getting blocked by the "g☠️p"
Our Supreme Court. The best money can buy !
I understand the sarcasm but seriously it is the worst money can buy.
The best corruption of justice money can buy.
@@bluegold21 not for the person who bought them it isn't.
@@asheronwindspear552 Let me at em. Let me at em ( Scrappy-doo joke).
I would argue that the right wing has also captured the mainstream news. People fed this garbage can hardly be expected to make intelligent decisions.
Yeah, the sh** show circus gets more clicks than the lost puppy dog story.
They have long held mainstream media (with the obvious exception of MSNBC). Just look at the media's ownership million and billionaires.
You wanna see some wierd stuff? CPAC 2024 a literal circus freak show
Absolutely! I often wonder to myself how isn’t this front page news!
That is why you have not heard about www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-joint-resolution/54/text the We the People Amendment to overturn Citizens United and much more. You also have not heard the real dangers of fracking, if you even know what it is, nor have you corporate media cover the platform of Marianne Williamson. All these topics would reduce the profits of corporate media oligarchs.
Add REAL justices (not more MAGA clowns) to reflect our current population!!!!!
There should be the same number of Justices as there are circuit courts, 13.
For some reason President Biden doesn’t seem to want to take the lead on the “13 circuits = 13 justices” project. Why is he dragging his feet on this? Democrats will soon look back In anger over the failures to act perpetrated by Garland, Biden and others who refused to be heroes when called upon to do so.
I respect the solid integrity and ethical standards that the Senator Whitehouse has always upheld. Coward and corrupt Republicans should learn from him how to "serve" the Congress for the people.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. Saving democracy is much harder when the opponents hold 3/4 of one branch of government and they’re sprinkled throughout Congress.
Saving democracy is done at the voting booth. If the reds get more Congress members, they will ruin good policy and here we are. Hopefully this time people will vote blue
Thanks to us non-voting Dems, corrupt MAGA/GOP owns the House, half of the Senate, the Supreme Court, most state legislatures and governorships. If we don't start taking voting seriously, democracy will soon be gone forever.
Is it time yet for OUTRAGE?
THANK YOU SENATOR for all you're WORK!
Oh Yes ! Especially Clarence and Ginny Thomas !
Whitehouse is a hero! Thank you, sir.
Sen. Whitehouse -- you are a beacon of hope in a system so corrupt we can't recognize it any longer. THANK YOU!!!
Pass the voter rights legislation that's been presented to Congress for at least the last 23 years.
A very intelligent, good man. Worthy of his position. I believe this man fulfills his oath every day. 🇺🇸
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for standing up for real AMERICAN VALUES. Like Truth and accountability. Keep going after the corrupt Supreme Court Judges. It does the country good to hear you state the obvious and the obscure regarding the Supreme Court's failures to uphold the law.
Let's get the DISCLOSE ACT through the house after a blue majority is available!
I'm a Pennsylvanian and have been listening to senator Whitehouse for the past couple of years.
This man is genuine and brings to light the facts.
Thank you Senator you are greatly appreciated.
Senator Whitehouse we are so lucky to have you 💙🥰💙
A man of integrity. Whitehouse for President. Please
Thank you, again, Senator Whitehouse, for your service to the people of the United States. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude 🙏!
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse!
Senator Whitehouse you are gold. Thanks for truth telling. Our supreme court is a disaster.
It's time to add 4 more Justices. No more MAGA having their way with the court. Equal, something the former republicans use to agree on...
But then MAGA will want a dozen of their own judges added again.
or Force certain Justices to Step Down in order to keep manageable numbers on the Court. The three of the first to go, Should Be, Roberts (he has no control over any Justice) for incompetence of Leadership. The other two, Alito and Thomas!
Both have been Bought or Traded their Duty and Honor for Money and rubbing elbows with VERY WEALTHY men.
It's too late.. those justice's should have been added 3yrs ago
Blue America just needs to remember this when Congress are getting elected or you end up with a broken SCOTUS
Biden is a traditionalist habitually seeking consensus rather than conflict, which is why he picked Garland for AG and has been at least partly ignored by Netanyahu. But Joe’s much better than 45-47, if he can win again.
The trouble is, our constitution was written for brave and honorable men, not the bottom dwellers in Congress now. We need to elect another 350 like Sheldon Whitehouse.
Thank you for your diligence Senator Whitehouse. We need your voice.
As always … Thank You Senator White House.
Sen. Whitehouse is a man of true honor and integrity. If it wasn't for him, this would never be mentioned anywhere in Congress.
Thank you Senator, for always working for the people tirelessly. It Has to seem exhausting as it is for us. but what’s the alternative? We must fight to save our democracy
Thank you Senator White House. Your work is invaluable to democracy in America today.
Thank you senator
Thank you, Senate Whitehouse!!
How can the Justices be held to account for their corruption?
Term Limits
They continue to thumb their noses at the American public.
We need a Democratic majority in the House & 60 Democratic senators to investigate & remove corrupt Justices, since Republikons won't do anything to stop their billionaire donors' corrupt court.
Wherever there’s a position of power and authority where one is appointed to serve for life, there is a strong likelihood of capture and corruption.
Mindboggling.
Now take the time to get it unboggeled and sound the alarm to those who will listen
and those who want to think that our form of government is not in grave danger.
Thanks for sticking with this, Sen. Whitehouse.
Senator Whitehouse Belongs in the Whitehouse 🏛️💙
I share every single thing that you're involved with Senator, because if we all don't get this information to as many voters as we can, we're sunk as a democracy.
You always make me proud to be an American….and a Dem…..thank you Senator 👍✌️🍀
Whitehouse for the Supreme court
Thank you Senator Whitehouse....keep up the good fight ..we must correct this corruption of the court ...
Thank you, Senator, for persisting.
Thank you Senator White House. I am 76 years old and I never thought I would live to see the day when the Supreme Court sold out to the highest bidder! Impeach them all!
Thank you for calling this out. Let’s hope action can be taken.
✔💙🗳📜🇺🇲November 2024, to put in political leaders that can put in guardrails for supreme court justices...
Abolish the current Supreme Court.
No just bring accountability to the court. Our government’s design is very good. Checks and balances but with the courts becoming more political, this is what you get.
Please.. vote and motivate others to do the same! Or we lose America! 🇺🇲💙✊️
We need this work that Senator Whitehouse is doing. Thank you for this.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for your patriotism, and hard work fighting to save our democracy
This is the person you want in the Whitehouse
Keep holding there feet to the fire 🔥 Senator Whitehouse job well done 👍 now show America the resolve of Democracy to a wayward Supreme Court 😊 Checks and Balances 😮 They should know there place😊
WE NEED ALL PRIVATE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!
#EndCitizensUnited
✊🏼✊🏽✊🏻⚖️🗽🇺🇸
Sen Whitehouse, how can they be stopped??
The supreme court is making a total mockery of American justice.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Thank you!
I am so 🎉proud I voted for Senator Sheldon Whitehouse when I lived in Providence Rhode Island and it makes that Kirsten Sinema is now my Senator so hard to take. Gulp.
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙Senator Whitehouse you are a national treasure!!!👍💙
He makes over 90% of politicians look unqualified and immature by comparison
I too am grateful for your hard work and the continuous effort in bringing these unethical practices to the American people. We must clear out this corruption.
Senator Whitehouse is OUR sentry of democracy. His cause is everyone’s cause - the safeguarding of our, as yet to be fully realized, democratic principles, and protection of the rule of law. Especially in defense against those who would subvert and pervert the rule of law to achieve a predetermined end, in particular, and especially of our less than perfect, vulnerable, evolving democracy.
👍💪🇺🇸💙🗽
Senator Whitehouse!💕
I've been thinking lately that Whitehouse would make a fine President. I don't know that much about him, but he has the intellect and presence to provide the leadership America desperately needs.
A great Senator!❤
The flaunting of the purchase of SCOTUS with zero repercussions for either the justices or their new owners is the main reason for the record low confidence in the court.
THIS man should head up The Supreme Court
Thank you 🎉❤
Congratulations again for Senator Whitehouse's continued focus on the outrageous abuses of SCOTUS. It is more than evident that SC needs to be reviewed and reformed. Term limits and the selection process in particular need revision!
Immediate requests for Resignations is Required
Without people like Senator Whitehouse, I would question my sanity daily. Very clearly, wealth can purchase the Supreme Court when corrupt politicians nominate unethical judges. In a system built of checks and balances, there has to be a remedy for this. Thank God Senator Whitehouse is in a position to find it.
I also am thankful for your investigation into the SC, gerrymandering and voting rights! What can be done?
SCOTUS has become more like a tick feeding from dark money. ❤ Senator.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse. Please keep working on the heavy burden of shedding light on the major corruption of the Highest court in our land. I also appreciate James Carville's RUclips post on: Find out why James Carville calls them SCROTUS. They have different styles but both spot on.
Love your channel and your work, Senator Whitehouse! Yikes, the GOP AND SCOTUS!
Keep up the good fight!!
Took me long enough but finally watching Senator Whitehouse's "The Scheme" and I am SO impressed. This should be on TV as was the J6 hearings!
Thank you Senator!
Im voting straight ticket Blue and insisting on an expanded scotus!
Thank you for fighting the good fight. We appreciate you. 💙💙💙
Thank you, for all you do!
Aloha, I find it shocking that these bozos seem so ignorant to American Law, and our right to free religion or no religion. Talk about a stacked court! Thank you for your service, brother. You are greatly appreciated. I was told to teach my younger colleagues the truth about what is happening to help them to make better choices at the voting booth. I send them your talks on the Senate floor. So many thanks for your powerful explanations of American law. And to teach the uninformed of reality!
He is phenomenal.
My dearest Senator White House I am so thankful for your work but honestly I feel hopeless. Is there anything we can do to right these wrongs? How do we get rid of the lawbreakers on the Supreme Court? I’m so angry and disturbed. I’ve written to the Supreme Court but I just have a feeling it will go unnoticed. Can you please do an episode about what we can do as American citizens. Thank you.
tltr: You are an American hero. Your compelling presentations on the moral state of the Justices on the high court are vital. Every American needs to know how the once respected and revered jurists have been captured, corrupted, and rotted using the ‘scheme’ and decades of large gifts and direct bribes.
Your critique of the demise of the US Supreme Court is must-see TV for every American.
I admire you and your body of work defending our democracy. Thank you so much.
Every voter should go into the ballot box and vote for democracy while we still can.
Thank you for all the time and energy you put into the work you are doing!❤
Both impeachment and court expansion need to be considered. We need to start having those conversations.
Senator Whitehouse has no problem calling out the BS of the GOP.
SCOTUS
NEEDS TO HAVE OVERSIGHT!!!
AND FIX THEIR ERRORS!!
Ty Sir!💙✝️🙏🇺🇸💙
Thank you, Rep. Whitehouse
We are in a very bad place. When millions of dollars and millions of hours are spent on the fact finding and resolution of a legitamate issue, especially one
that involves our voting rights and the influences on voting itself, only to have a biased "court" alter the results of that work to benefit one side of our political
spectrum or the other. The people who did all that work in a bipartisan and honest fashion should be livid. The rest of us who count on this effort to yield us
a representative form of government should be outraged as well. It was our money, and the good faith that went with it, and if I understand this correctly,
that just got thrown in the trash by our "supreme court" and if we are all just going to sit by and watch them do this to us then we deserve what comes next.
Thank you!
I love Senator Whitehouse!! Truth is so important!!
Justice for all…….
Who can afford it
Great Job Senator...
Thank you.
Go Rhode Island, Senator is a treasure
Time to act on some kind of repugs.
Observing from AU, it is astonishing the highest court in the land can be so partisan and openly corrupt with no checks and balances. 😮
I have a great appreciation for Sen. Whitehouse and would like to see him as a candidate for the Presidency in 2028.
Mr. Whitehouse is awesome
