Senators demand special counsel investigation into Justice Clarence Thomas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse joins to discuss his call for the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel to probe the misconduct of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. “There’s no accountability to the truth. And of all the people to be not accountable to the truth, Supreme Court justices would seem to be the worst of all,” says Whitehouse.

Racist
@@dhar1519Hahahaha 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️❤️🤣😉
No and yes! There should be rules that could make them leave if they go against the rules. +There is a solution for everything, there is no will for anything. I would give them a salary so that they can live however they want, but every mistake, be it intentional or accidental, would be severely punished. Of course, one can and must always be a little flexible. Not all evil is for evil!!!??
This took YEARS too long.
Oh, so let’s just ignore the white justices.
These racist Democrats dont like when a minority judge doesnt act how
they want him to act.
Racist
Amen.
And you’re racist !!
ANY SCOTUS needs to be held to account for their corruption!
the liberal judges need to be impeached for that corruption
SCOTUS Justices are not above the law. Put a few of them in jail, and you will see a change.
i think that is incorrect. the SCOTUS are the highest law in the land and therefore do have some form of being above the law. They are the ones that pass the laws regarding how their 'gifts' are legal.
I think they are proving that statement false, they can do what they want and the Constitution be damned. This is the sad truth.
Neither are Congressmen, women and Senators but they get away with taking all kinds of bribes and gifts to vote on issues the way corporations or billionaires want them to. This happens all the time even outside the Federal level. If you don’t realize this I don’t know what planet you’ve been living on.
@@kingjames1308 They don't pass laws, they interpret law it's either constitutional or it's not. They also tell lower courts how to interpret the law. Only congress passes laws. Executive branch enforces laws. This is how is supposed to work.
Put the 3 Democrat appointees in prison
It's about time. Thomas and his wife should be investigated
Exactly what I was going to type!
what for?
Why is he standing in the way of the fascist left? It's about time your true racist selves came out...modern day KKK going after judges
Don't get too excited. It's only a request to have him investigated!!! Like everything else pertaining to SCOTUS and government in general, this request will die in congress and or the senate
@@13bustahwatch the video, troll.
Bribery is a crime. It should be front page news until there's accountability. IRS should investigate as well.
There is more news about him when he was sticking pubic hairs and ladies Cokes back in the 90s and there is on his bribery in the Supreme Court
Lobbyists
ever hear of the lobby system?
got any evidence of bribery?
It won't be as every judge you have targeting Trump would be all over the front page. Must be a lot of money the fascist left is giving them, considering their lifetime careers are on the line
The Federalist Society also needs to be investigated. And all the rest of them.
+ The Heritage Foundation
We need to investigate all of these corrupt judges.
If i have to report all bonuses or gifts. He should too.
Like the gifts Joe got from china russia Ukraine Romania etc…
Thank you Mr. Whitehouse…🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, but congress needs to move FASTER !
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse!
Racist !
Of course it's Whitehouse. He belongs to a white only beach club.
The justice department has dropped the ball so many times recently and I’m not optimistic that they will get it right!!! 🙈
They have no authority to go after SCOTUS 😂
@@neal5068 Of course not. They'll just declare themselves to have absolute immunity.
Yeah they haven’t persecuted the sitting resident’s opposition enough which is the only way they know how to play.
@kosmokritikos9299 no one has absolute immunity
Merick Garland should open this investigation. For ALL the justices. And NOT put it off for a YEAR!
Shaky Garland, lol not going to happen.
HE CANT INVESTIGATE WHATS UNDER HIS NOSE. GIVE ME A BREAK. HE'S GONE IN JAN THEN WE'LL CLEAN D.C. TRUMP TSUNAMI 24
Gotta do this BEFORE Captain Crybaby gets elected! He would just pardon Thomas anyway.

Like they put off the laptop investigation

@@BrianS-ny9ydthat's actually funny
Thomas is a crooked judge. Get rid of him.
We have Bush Jr to thank for Justice Thomas
I 100% support Thomas being investigated. The Supreme Court seems to have forgotten that checks and balances apply to them as well. However, I have no faith that AG Merrick Garland has the balls to actually do it.
@@rdbull5890 should have never kept garland, he's a republican.never to be trusted upholding the laws .Not him.or ANY Republican they are rotten to the core every last one of them.
Won't happen. He's untouchable without 2/3 majority in the Senate.
Crooked eyeglasses?
You see what's coming, don't you? This Supreme Court will simply declare itself "absolutely immune" from prosecution.
These are the tax shelters the rich have that we don't
No, this is corruption of the US gov't, which is treason.
Alito next please.
Another grifter.
So basically what you are saying is if they are alleged Republicans they should be removed? You are what's wrong with this country
Roberts.
@@chasemcintyre6806no it’s if they’re receiving gifts and money from people who have a special interest in judgements being made.

Racism out here is so disgusting
@GoodisBest4u You got them mixed up. Anita is not his wife
No judge federal or otherwise should be receiving gifts of any type. Period. Why would a sitting judge on the Supreme Court need donors?

Typical not worried about OUR country more worried about someone who doesn't agree with there agendas
Just another way for them to get paid
They can find more ways to spend the tax dollars
This is decades overdue, and nobody can say better late than never the massive damage has been done over and over again.
Such payments are called as bribes but in the great US of A, they are called as gifts.
Thats how the Biden cartel has handled it.

I watched that entire hearing. Nothing matters.
@@alarahillton1343 I wasn't just Anita Hill. Several other women came forward with their accounts of Thomas' behaviour but they would only hear Hill's testimony.
remember when AOC was gifted the "TAX THE RICH" Met Gala dress while owing thouaands in back taxes?
No. But apparently you do. What more could we expect from someone who runs around bouncing off the walls while screaming, "Don't tax the rich. They need their money. Tax the poor. They'll never miss theirs."
Not to make light…. But sen Whitehouse’s glasses being askew just puts an exclamation point on the whole situation…. Thank you for the levity in the middle of a very serious situation…
Disgusting! This definitely needs investigation and Thomas should be removed from the bench.
Immediately!

If Thomas got disfarred, would President Biden have the authority to place another judge in his place or would you Republicans get so angry and not let him do it just like they didn't let Obama do it till when he had a chance when there was a year left in his term. Trump did it in 2 weeks of his term that was left
She did the Republicans let President Biden pick a supreme Court Justice?

As soon as he violates the U.S. Constitution then yes but until then we do not give a f.

It is already illegal.

Racist
It is not acceptable that they receive gifts for millions of dollars and do not recuse themselves in cases that they have a personal interest in!
What's funny is, 5his is the tip of the ice burg. People bury their heads but we live in a dystopia, maga would make it worse but honestly dems will keep the status quo anyway. We are basically slaves, we have just been indoctrinated into believing we are free, but we live in a giant police state. When you start to see the larger picture it's scary. Especially cause you rhen see it won't change. Technically since citizens united our 2 parties have turned into something very different
Always been this way. It has been a non issue because the rulings are not violating our rights. They been after Thomas ever since he was nominated. He made it clear he will die before ever walking away from the position. His goal from day one was to make liberals miserable and he is accomplishing that. In the 80s this is exactly what we wanted but your neocons and democrats have hated him from day one. So now they are trying to find anything to get rid of him. It wont happen unless you get a majority vote in the house to impeach and that will never happen.
What cases specifically, because Hyperbole isn’t a case
@@DutchStar Any case to do with Trump. Thomas should not sit in judgement of these cases, obvious conflict of interest.
@@rwhcloWhy’s that? Did Trump Bribe him?

Thank you Senator Whitehouse for not backing down on this issue.

extremely high level and brazen corruption. total impunity this should have never been allowed to continue
Absolutely hilarious how you guys are freaking about Thomas but had nothing to say about Joe Biden's family taking money.
They are scratching and clawing to keep power...pathetic.
Garland is so busy being neutral that he won't even address it, let's make a bet
Barack Obama nominated Garland for SCOTUS specifically because he felt he was a right down the middle jurist who could be an acceptable compromise for Mitch McConnell and the republican Senate at the time. Mitch had another card up his sleeve though…
He been got,himself…who got you,Garland? Was it money or fear?
@badlyniceness2315 Just think. We dodged Garland as a jurist. He would probably have been a disaster, like he is now. Shaky, shaky, shaky.
@@mamaj7104 oh I opposed his nomination from the get-go, I thought he would make a lousy Supreme
Wasn't he accused by Anita Hill inappropriate behavior years ago? There was an investigation or something.
No investigation at that time, because of Thomas’ lynching accusation on TV. The senators, instead of investigating Hill’s accusation against Thomas, immediately caved in, apologized and voted for the criminal.
No investigation. His accuser was a woman, they were both black, so...she, of course, was not believed by Republicans.
Injustice Thomas is a conniving crook, cheater, liar and he must be charged for the violations that he flagrantly and callously committed as he's "UNTOUCHABLE" in his corrupt mind!
Your. People need to be in jail all. You do is mess with Thomas stop mess with this man every time you don't go along with dem your bad your dem need stop mess with thomas
It is also way past time that Ginny Thomas be investigated, charged & prosecuted for her indiscretions directly related to J6.
Treason is not an "indiscretion". Overturning an election is treason against the country.
Makes ya wonder how long this has been going on.
Racist
We don't need to ask how long. If we must ask, it was too long...
@@zksstalstawidlo9015 Not in this case. I'm a politics/history geek and, most likely, older than you are. Clarence Thomas is his own worst enemy, and has always had a huge chip on his shoulder. I can honestly say that I've never heard any politician or mainstream media organization say anything publicly of a racist nature against CT. He's been respected as a Supreme Court Justice. It's clear he's not been as upstanding as we believed him to be. He's made things more difficult for himself by not coming clean, lying, and not recusing himself when he should have. And yet still he hasn't been publicly accused of his misdeeds because "You know black people do this kind of thing". Thomas made his own choices, and we have to wait to find out if there will be any consequences...✌️

I can't believe Thomas is selling American democracy so cheap for an RV, home, and a few fancy vacations. That's pathetic.
Well, apparently you'll believe what you want to believe. There's zero evidence a single ruling by Thomas was ever influenced by these things you mention. He's ruled consistently for decades according to his judicial philosophy. Were he not a black conservative he would not be under attack as he has been of late. Other justices have accepted gifts, most notably Ruth Bader Ginsberg who received a million dollar prize from a liberal billionaire's foundation, but only Thomas is under attack. Sounds like racism to me.
I agree look at all the money that the Obamas, Clinton's, Pelosi and the Bidens have made, it make this look like pocket change ! Maybe he could get some tips from the professional crooks !
