- May 5 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC to talk about the brewing ethics crisis at the Supreme Court.
If the supreme court justices are not brought to justice, they have no right to judge anyone else. Ever.
It’s worse. They decide whether laws are constitutional or not. So they have the power to override Congress and the President. Also they can override state and local laws, so they are basically monarchs….for life.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOESN’T THAT DELEGITIMIZE THE SCOTUS?????????????
@MadReese69 ask the last president Mr. T... and and the last Republican majority leader Mac C.. .
YUP!!!! EXACTLY!!! I SAY,,LEAST THEY BE GUIDED BY,,,,, I'M NOT SHURE!!!
@@RodolfoLRoiz YUP!!! YOU'D THINK!!!!!
Whitehouse is a powerhouse. This needs to be out in the public. Corruption shown. Thomas must be removed from Suoreme court.
White House for the White House. Kind of catchy.
@@victorjcano got it wrong .
@@pietrojenkins6901 pardon?
@@victorjcano absolutely agree. I think the comment was that Whitehouse is one word…maybe? Or it was just a troll, in which case we shouldn’t feed her.😉
Got that right
Love Senator Whitehouse! These cheating liars need to be revealed and punished.
Punished today… Vote 💙🇺🇸
Keep putting CORRUPTION ON BLAST - Thank you Sen. Shelson Whitehouse.
I pray he runs for the appropriate office given his name.
Whitehouse SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT!!! ID VOTE FOR HIM!! ❤❤❤
Senator Whitehouse must be put into the White House!
✊🏻✊🏻
I was saying that a year ago, but if he wanted to he would,
and he’s doing a Great job in the Senate.
President’s can’t do that.
Who would fill his shoes?
I think if I understood correctly that Senator Whitehouse doesn't want to run for POTUS but that was a while back and he may feel different now! 😊 It had to do with him feeling he would do more good as a Senator! That very well may be and if he loves what he does, that's where he belongs! 😊❤😊
Absolutely 🙌💕 His name represents the TRUTH
@@Wyonative08 Besides, we NEED HIM THERE. He's the only one
who can do what he does. There is no MAGAt who can compare
in a sense of honesty, knowledge of subject and intractibility. tyvm.
Love him. END CITIZENS UNITED!
I knew it was trouble when instituted...
END CITIZENS UNITED NOW !
Every SCOTUS decision needs to be investigated, start with citizens united.
Absolutely
I like it. Kill two birds with one investigation - expose the corruption of SCOTUS and put a stop to the legalized bribery of our elected politicians.
@@judithdiraddo4162 When that passed (Citizens United) I knew it was the death knell for Democracy and America was now for sale to the highest bidders and authoritarians.
Laws written by the rich for the rich! Senator Whitehouse is a true American hero!
*written*
@@peggymason7438 Sorry! Thanks!
Who himself , trades inside .
I’d like to see the Senator in our whitehouse..he has the cynical edge needed,to fight todays crime bosses ( congress and senate…..
No wonder Republicans didn't want to increase funding to the IRS.
"More to come." Keep at it Senator Whitehouse!
We APPRECIATE you!!!
Love Senator Whitehouse !
A truthteller.
and a truthfinder!
He has an ethics problem himself , read his bio on Wiki, insider Trading in 2008 .
Not asked yet: How many Supreme Court judges and politicians knew Clarence and Ginni Thomas were living this extravagantly for decades and never said a word about it?
And they won't ask because it benefits them all!!!!
Robert's can't say anything because his wife has been making hundreds of thousands. The 4 Conservative Justices should be thrown of the bench. For Criminal Corruption. And Kelly Anne is making excuses.
Whadya bet it was Scalia (who held Thomas on a choke chain) who is the “former colleague” who told Thomas he could cheat with impunity!?
@@veritas2222 one rotten fruit ruins the whole basket .
All of them.
VOTE THE REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE. THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER'S REPUBLICAN PARTY. INSIST THAT THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES HAVE TERM POSITIONS. NO MORE LIFETIME POSITIONS. THEY SHOULD ONLY HOLD THE OFFICE DURING GOOD BEHAVIOR!
Wow! Go ahead Sen. Whitehouse.expose them! I am embarrassed for the Supreme Court...
Them? I'm embarrassed for all of us!
Wiki exposed him , read it .
Why can't all politicians be like Senator Whitehouse??
He wouldn't be extraordinary if they were like him...and he is extraordinary!
Do you see MTG and Jordan going up against him? They won't put him off of the bench because he was a Republican nominee
@@Ilovemesomemj1 Clarence Thomas typifies MTG, McCarthy, Santos, Boebert, Jordan, magats, etc. and the Federalist christian conservative repugnican Extremists extreme lack of ethics and disrespect for Democracy.
Whitehouse is from a small State. That's why Bernie is so good. That's why President Biden disappointed the 1% to help us instead. In-person versus TV is a very stark difference.
They are , Crooks , read his bio , insider trading in 2008.
Billionaires and the power their wealth affords them are the greatest threat to Democracy our world has ever known.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has never lost sight of that.
The Big old white Billionaires want it to be 1928. So they bribe theses frauds. That's why roe was removed. All of them have blood all over them. The same with Kavanagh he raped that Doctor. There was a phony investigation into it. Many called the FBI numerous times with the real stories only to be transferred to another line. One lady called 75 times. My guess Kavanagh raped more than the Doctor .And how brave and honest she was. Only to have to go into hiding. All 4 conservative Justices and the old white Billionaires have blood all over them
Thank you, Chris Hayes and Senator Whitehouse, for the work on Justice and Ginni Thomas.
What is Kelly Anne's legal exposure to this transaction? She should know that what she did was illegal.
She should fi d a good lawyer that isn't George.
She's pretending it was an alternate fact.
Is Kellyanne Conway engaged to Leonard Leo?
Leonard Leo asserted that he has "always tried to protect Ginni and Clarence Thomas" from the viciousness of others. Always?!? How many times has Leo felt the need to protect the Thomases?
Bush vs Gore is there hands of the Supreme Court Get over it . Votes suppose to be counted so they hijcked the elección . Scalia get over it Two trillion dollars in war crime
Great question. And who else needed protection? Didn't Kavanaugh come through the Federalist Society?
@@cynthiajohnston9065 YES, and who wiped out all his back debt and helped whitewash his questionable past?
All of the Republican appointed seats on the Supreme Court were dictated by the Federalist Society. Every last one is a recommended pik
Coney-Barrett and Gorsuch, too.
Senator, i can't thank you enough for your dogged efforts on this. 🙏
@@lisasmith3657 agreed, Thank you... Namaste. ⚖️🇺🇸🗽
.
love seeing Sheldon Whitehouse getting significant airtime these days. He’s been ready for this moment for years..! The Scheme- highly recommend watching those videos, a deep dive into the Supreme Court.
grateful he is in the Senate and doing this incredibly important work. it’s a sanity-saver to listen to his clear and cogent words.
Yep
@@denillefleming2942 Sen.Whitehouse is remarkable and yet only a thousand likes for this video and a small subscribership. Meanwhile most people are more familiar with every word, move, antic the magat sensationalists make.
Absolutely! I've been watching him for a few years & he has been a pit bull exposing the corruption of dark money 👏
Totally agree! A lot of people are posting comments that he should run for President, but I think he’s needed (and effective!) right where he is.
@@vinista256He can and is doing more where he is, we just need more like Sen. Whitehouse.
The Senator does his homework
Robert's showed a combination of stupidity and arrogance when he made a Country Club Republican dismissal of requests for cooperation on these matters.
It opened the door for substantive Congressional inquiry.
He is in a position of weakness and he has never shown the depth of character required by his position.
That's why he's always grinning.
Call it what it is; corruption. This is sickening to the stomach.
Will Kellyanne Conway be held accountable for being the facilitator between Ginny and Leo?
Thank goodness it makes me feel ,so much better, that Sen. Whitehouse is on the job.
We can be outraged for years, but if the congress does nothing and the DOJ does nothing, it’s tragic for protecting the democracy we see in such jeopardy.
Keep reporting on these issues and maybe there’s hope but democracy needs a lot more than hope to survive.
So explain to me why the DOJ, in a Democrat administration, would do NOTHING if they had a completely legitimate felony prosecution worth pursuing. Seriously. Your party is going to have the White House for another four years. What could possibly be keeping the Justice Department from mounting an honest criminal prosecution?
It's true, I'm getting tired of all these obviously corrupt unethical practices getting momentary recognition then disappearing with nothing substantial being done to stop the flaws that allow them to persist and dominate any real effectiveness.
Stop being outraged & demand change. We all must peacefully rise up & protest or nothing will get done. It is by being United We Stand as shown throughout our nation's history. March on WA DC 07/04/2023 & demand change. We The People are the ones with the power, but we must stand up to be heard.
This level of corruption is totally outrageous...
What can the DOJ do?
It appears Clarence Thomas has not been near a Walmart parking lot in 20 years.
Senator Whitehouse should be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He would kick some ass, and rightfully so! The current chairman, Senator Dick Durbin is much too wishy_washy!
Not just wishy washy, he’s utterly useless and purposely feckless when it comes to holding power to account.
Vote blue 💙
Corruption begets corruption!
Senator, as a Texan we need you to continue your fact finding and accountability of the supreme court.
S.B. 1993 is the pre-cursor to a coup in 2024, you're doing great work for the people.
NOTE TO PRESIDENT BIDEN: PACK THE F-ING COURT! YOU HAVE THE F-ING POWER!
He does not have the votes in congress .
@@fritterfoof5146 I beg to differ I believe Glenn Kirchner did a video about how he does have the power.
Joe ain’t gonna do squat. THEY are one. WE,tax payers, are the suckers.
Thank both of you for keeping this in the News cycle- this is beyond corrupt
I say lock these crooks up
OK, 70% of US agrees these Supreme Ct justices should be fired. How can the US Constitution, in any words broad or specific, establish a process to fire these 5 judges? Chris - damn it, please move forward to prosecutions!!
The constitutional process is impeachment. Unfortunately, the framers never allowed for the emergence of 2 major political parties controlling every aspect of the US government. As Sen. Whitehouse noted, there is no way this GOP majority house will impeach, nor is there any way enough GOP senators would vote to convict.
Now compare this behavior to the 1970s when Richard Nixon was pressured by his own party to resign because he would indeed be otherwise impeached.
Whitehouse rules!
Go get them, Senator!
As I've often said... " we have the best klown court money can buy"!!!
The Camp Topridge painting is an x-ray showing a metastasizing cancer on the judiciary.
The FEDSOC-6 are given an outrageous discretionary budget to spend however they want. The discretionary budget is our taxpayer money. What if a justice uses a million dollars to redecorate their office whenever they feel like it? I live on my social security, and I struggle to pay income tax every year on my social security income. I ask that congress freeze SCOTUS discretionary funds and provide Americans with a full audit for each justice.
We need a DAILY JUSTICE JOKE REPORT from Senator Whitehouse. It's coming fast & furious. 👏 👏 👏 👆 👆 👆 ☺ ☺ ☺
Agree 👍
Bottom line…SCJs should be REQUIRED to recuse themselves in these situations.
What is the holdup? Jail him & wife and the arraignment. REMAND
Being bought for so little tells you all you need about Justice Thomas' sense of self-worth.
He probably did good at first but he was hit with the very contagious gold fever ?
Avoiding gossip is a reason to disclose everything. It's not a reason to cover up money transfers.
Leo wants to keep pay offs out of sight. Because people are gossipy?
Leo wants to live in 1928 Someone should get him a calander. And what buinness is it of that old hater.What any women does with there body. Them old white guys should mind there own business
Horrible gossips who spread facts and truth!🧐🤓🤪
Good questions!❤
Direct & concise with humor Senator Whitehouse hits the nail 💥
Is it possible to penalized with salary cuts? Republicans should love that.
Lock em all up!!!
Another hero rises! Thanks and kudos to Senator Whitehouse!!! 💙 💙 💙
Sen. Whitehouse is positively giddy about what he has found out so far regarding CL and what else he might still find out about the corrupted justice. Go Sen. Whitehouse !!!
It is a rare thing indeed when a politician answers any question with a clear and concise YES or NO
I just admire senator WhiteHouse so much.
ENFORCE The 14Th Amendment
Fourteenth Amendment
Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
The number of political and judicial representatives that do NOT abide by the 14th Amendment has gone from a few to a whole house full. Will it ever be possible for we the people to get our house exterminated?
They are all in this together..what Creep Criminal's they are! And We all know about it!
On Supreme Court, don't think any dirt on Sotomayor, Kagan or Brown...all appointed by Democratic presidents. But the 6 corrupt, lying ones, conservatives nominated by Reagan, Bush, Trump...see a pattern here?
Chris this is a stellar report dude.
Charge them all ....then jail them all ....any other citizen would be imprisoned ..... so is justice blind? We will soon find out !!
No senator as eloquent as mr. Whitehouse. This man is really impressive. Thanks for the interview.
Biden could have said "Our population has expanded greatly since we set the number of SCJ at 9, I will expand the court by 4 more"!. He could have said that.
And he should go straight to jail for the rest of his life Clarence Thomas should never see the light of day no federal prison real prison general population
I wish I received tips like that!
I think I learned this in grade school growing up blue collar in central NH....the rich kids got zero punishment for psychopathic behaviour, then became frat boys, CEOs, lawyers, politicians, with a double life, that notion of having a double life brings a true psychopath more pleasure than sex..brain chemicals are surging..and they are in prisons an Washington D.C.
That is too true in our society. There is a reason there have been so many scandals around fraternities despite the frats' always having help from high places when stories of their bad behavior starts to circulate.
Lets all call Garland!! And demand an investigation! And suspend him until its over!!
"Politics is the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable."

The only sane candidate for the White House is Sheldon. Run, Sheldon, run!
Justice for sale. This looks really bad even, if it's legal or illegal.
There's nothing " conservative " about perversions of equal rights and environmental laws that are relevant to protecting our United States of America's legitimate government by the people.
The court must dismantled. As a show of patriotic duty.
Fellow judges need to speak out against SCOTUS
Get him!
White House to the white house!
We must get bribery out of our government offices asking with all the continues Christian discussions that should not be allowed in the work place just like everywhere else.
It's no wonder our employees don't work for us when bribery is how they begin their work.
Astonishing to discover the covert level of influencers in America. The entire judicial and political systems are replete with movers and shakers.
Oligarchy is the best descriptive term for the interests of the Federalist Society.
Better yet, kleptocracy.
I love Chris!! Clear,Concise,informative,and Easy on the eyes 😍😏
thank you Sen Whitehouse.....your clear voice is needed now. we support you. L. Martin
Sheldon for president!
When a country falls apart, its done from within. This is #DISGUSTING
Thank you Senator Whitehouse and Chris!!!
Thanks Chris and thanks to Senator Whitehouse, a voice of reason and courage.
It's on the up and up when you're being paid to vote my way.
Justice Clearance Thomas wears knee pads under his robes.
Senator Whitehouse is a powerhouse. Here's hoping that 1) the chief justice will implement a proper code of ethics and 2) that there should be an investigation into the criminality of what each justice has done. Completely unacceptable that they get away with it. How can they judge anything when their sense of justice is so skewed, flawed and fraudulent.
Much love and appreciation from Ireland 🇮🇪💚☘️
Constitution fails, America falls.
Long live our Republic's 🇮🇪💚🇺🇸
Keep up the good work senator whitehouse. Clarence Thomas needs to go. Term limits on Justices .
No wonder Kelly Anne kept/keeps that arrogance
She is a good silent operator. SHAME😢
Could their continued silence be taken to imply that they might be worried about themselves being scrutinized?
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for putting Corruption on Blast; Please Keep It Up.
Millions of dollars in annual benefits? Somebody go wake up the Internal Revenue Service. Aren't you supposed to be paying tax on that kind of stuff?
You pay taxes on TAXABLE INCOME. I'm guessing you are a little confused about what constitutes taxable income.
@@larryk1865 I guess we'll just have to audit Crow and Thomas' tax returns to see if gift tax exclusions were exceeded, won't we?
@@Yourdeadmeat69 Well, "we" won't be auditing Clarence Thomas for gift taxes because gift RECIPIENTS don't pay gift taxes. Gift DONORS pay gift taxes. See IRS publication 525 "Taxable and Nontaxable Income -- Gifts and Inheritances."
That leaves Harlan Crow. Given his wealth and the amount of giving he seems to do, it is a virtual certainty that he is filing Form 706 on an annual basis and that both he and the IRS are keeping a running tab as he approaches the LIFETIME GIFT ALLOWANCE LIMIT OF $12.,920 MILLION before he would even have any gift tax liability. But, hey, for all I know, maybe he has already exceeded it. But I am guessing both Crow and the IRS are on top of the situation.
@@larryk1865 Well, looks like you won! Aren't you proud you've weaved your little Fascist loving soulless slimeball out of the clutch of ethics and justice! What has your fictitious godhead promised you? Eternal hot seat?
Now that you've exposed the legal underbelly of your buddies and benefactors lack of ethics, it will just infuriate BLUE to get to the polls and stomp Red out of existence, or at least, no longer saying the quiet things out loud.
Thanks for the lesson. I'll be sure me and mine spread the word that the only justice is at the polls.
We, Kentuckians , have been operating a legit 501C3 and I can't fathom that we would EVER go against the rules. HOW did Leanard legally DO this?! And what was his motive? And is there anyone monitoring this stuff?
Legally? Leonard Leo has never worried about little things like that.
That's BS !! They're all crooks. Thank you for the update 👍
I ask myself how can the republicans be ok with this. But the real question is how can people of The United States ofAmerica be at peace with this?
- Because 95% don't know what a Supreme Court is and if asked to name one Supreme maybe half of those would say Diana Ross.
We the People on the left are NOT okay with this 💩
It supports their agenda.
7:26 Sheldon Whitehouse on Leo's numerous front groups, incl. CRC Advisors 10:25 mischief, tax code violations, maybe fraud, if not criminality...
All judges should have ethics rules, and should recuse from any cases in which they accept funds, gifts, trips, or have interest in those cases.
Who are we kidding? Nothing will be done. NOTHING!!
I think its criminal and all these people should be held accountable this had to stop
Excellent work. It’s all connected and these deceitful people have conspired to undermine American democracy.
Sen. Whitehouse is a breath of fresh air. Mr. Hayes, needs to get in shape, his jacket is under a lot of stress. Good luck Mr. Hayes with reducing your waistline.
WHo has authority over this court?
I have heard rumblings about Forrest and Jenni for awhile and really didn't catch it ... lt's so painful for this kid who looked up to him or her ,..hmmmmmm
Always take the time to listen too Sheldon Whitehouse, he lays out the details with no bs.
something to think about here. The amount of "gifts" flowing one way is more than what a millionaire gifts to a favorite mistress. I find it implausible that anyone, especially a savvy businessman, would just up and give close to a million dollars per year to a mistress let alone just a casual friend, and not expect anything in return.
It’s starting to sound like this calls for the ‘Al Capone’ solution. If Donald can still be president from a jail cell, I wonder if Clarence can sit on the SCOTUS from the cell next door?
