Whitehouse should be leading our Supreme Court, not Roberts. Looks to me that Roberts has no leadership. Robert's, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett, all need to be investigated. And disbarred. And so should judge Cannon. It is completely obvious what the I r agenda is. None of them deserve the position they hold. Maybe they should have the American people elect them to their judgships. Just like we do the presidency. Instead of allowing a corrupt president put them in office. Because look at the state of America. The supreme court is helping the donnie dump destroy America as we know it.
These Justices have forgotten that they're employees. Not Queens and Kings. We thank Senator Whitehouse for working on behalf of America's best interest
It's what happens when they've been handed a lifelong position which is almost impossible to impunity without any responsibility to the truth (see Thomas revisions).
More like the high priesthood of the "Christian" caliphate they desire. This group clearly seeks to merge church and state in an authoritarian way subverting "we the people's" stake in this.
One thing these "Justices" have *not* forgotten is that they - themselves - LEGALIZED dark money bribery in their 2010 Citizens United decision. Our OWN SCOTUS is responsible for the mountains of anonymous $$$ from oligarchs, both foreign and domestic, which has infested our *entire* Federally elected government and they are *also* responsible for the fact that it only took six years to produce tRump. Fascism never sleeps.
Beware Lawrence is reporting according to the desires of advertisers, just think of the commercials you like least. For me it is the drug commercials, who wants "explosive diarrhea" as a side affect? Know this as you listen 70% of MSNBC advertising revenue is big pharma. Hence the silencing of Kennedy, West, Williamson.
@@elkegreiser1799 it looks like that now, but it's a start. If what we want are good, intelligent men and women in our House and Senate then we've got to start by voting them into office. We stop voting for people that are looking for ways to get back at their perceived enemies. That's not how to run a country. Especially not a great country. Our representatives are our voice and I don't believe the majority of us want to waste time with a rep that wants to spend their time in office fighting for their personal vendettas.
The SC needs to be revamped. Ethics should be held in high regard. No hint of corruption should be allowed. Get rid of Roberts, Alito, Thomas & Kavanaugh for being smug.
I hate to bring politics into this but (and I agree with you) something about the conservative mindset brings with it the tendency to be a sleazy grifter. Why is that? And to be clear, if a liberal justice didn't have their i's dotted and t's crossed we'd damn sure be quick to call them out.
Senator Whitehouse, I really admire you and your steadfast dedication to your position. You are the right man in the right job at the right time. Applause. You and Lawrence seem to understand that the public needs to know these things that had formerly been hidden. Thank you again.
Senator Whitehouse is an amazing and honorable man! We certainly need more people like him in our government!!! And so incredibly smart!! Thank you for what you are going with so many of the current problems in government!!
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. I’m just one of millions who hold you in the highest regard for your love of justice. Your action will only grow in importance as GOP watches the American electorate spurn them utterly.
What a wonderfully intelligent and likable man! Able to cogently discuss the most serious and complicated issues and still maintain a positive outlook and a very sharp wit. Classy guy.
Hooray for Senator Whitehouse....And Thank you for your clear, ethics reminder that the Justices need to watch the violations of their codes !!! L. Martin
@@MeredithPutvinHeartfelt thanks to all of you! I can't think of a higher calling than to work at protecting democracy from the craven villains trying so hard to pull it down into the dirt. They are much like a pack of hyenas so filled with bloodlust and hate that they threaten to tear each other to pieces!
THANK YOU Senator Whitehouse for your diligence and unwavering focus on the HUGE corruption going on in the Supreme Court! Don't give up. We're behind you 100%!!!
It would certainly be better than the current system which allows Thomas et al to run wild. The potential problem would be that often senate seats can be gained by massive funding of campaigns and in the case of a MAGA Senate bought by Leo's billionaires it would just enforce it's own corruption. Remember how these corrupt justices got their in the first place. Something seriously needs to be done. We can't have lifelong justices sitting there based on network of corrupt interests. I look to Senator Whitehouse for solutions. Greater Senate oversight of SC might help as at least Senators would be _somewhat_ held to account by the electorate if they fail to remove a corrupt justice. It doesn't stop MAGA following republican politicians making awful self serving decisions to block progress though so another piece of the puzzle is needed.
Thank you for doing this Senator Whitehouse. Justice Alito and Thomas need to be knocked off their little pedestals and learn some humility. Chief Justice John Roberts is not doing his job, therefore Congress must do its job by holding these scotus justices accountable.
thank YOU Senator Sheldon Whitehouse!!! WE the PEOPLE greatly Appreciate All the work you are doing to educate US and HOLD the POWER TRIPPING Entitled Supremes Accountable. SHAME on the CONS.
As if everything they've done, up till now, wasnt disgusting enough. One more finger in the eye of every American. Supreme Court definitely needs some fixin'.
Totally agree, usually where there's smoke there's fire so apply the ethics across the board. I believe someone must have shared this type of behavior as a way to receive perks and everyone else does it so you will be fine. My concern is that the highest bids are ruled in favor of the case. We sequester jurors to get a fair trial, we ask them to avoid outside influence Shouldn't we expect the same from SC, so they don't appear compromised?
That's the issue, as the ultimate arbiters of law, they alone should realize they are held to a much, much higher standard. Kavanaugh should have never been confirmed and Thomas and Alito, just through the optics of receiving gifts, have damaged the prestige of the SCOTUS. Accountability is the only remedy to this and it should be swift and decisive - impeachment.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. Accountability. Ethics.
Roberts, Alito and Thomas have disgraced this court and HISTORY WILL PROVE IT.
I hold Senator Whitehouse in the highest regard.

Neither Alito in this court.
