Hun, suggestion... you might offer these discussions in a 2 part series or more. But offer the option to see the full video's and the length.
Crazy thing, many ppl watch during lunch or limited times... and... if you offer it split, each video would get their views on top of the full video's vs the person needing to figure out what they didn't see...or returning to not watch the rest.
These are like an hour long.. my breaks consist of 10 min to 30 min...
Make sense to release 3 videos at once, vs 1 video every few days.
Who does the uploading and such? Meaning a crew/employee or yourself?
I started watching you from Brians channel, and loved what your doing as a lawyer and person. I also am bury and had 2 cervical surgeries that make it hard to pay attention for long periods of time. Like ADD? or something. Once the pain starts, I get up and move, walk or ??. Sometimes if I'm in bed, i can relax and close my eyes, play a game or do genealogy and listen. Again like ADD or ADHD..... but its because of my pain. Such is life...
Well... its your channel and thought you might like to hear a suggestion.
Stay cool... 💋👀👌🙏🕯🇺🇸🇺🇦💙💛

I like to hear a congressman speak the truth so plainly and with such force.
Plainly where people like myself understand whats being said. How refreshing that i dont have to write and usually misspell words down to have to look up the meanings.
Senator
@@lf3361 Yeah, I know that, but couldn’t recall at the time I wrote the comment. I guess I should have looked it up, come back and edited my comment. Instead I chose a term that I thought applied to both houses. Thanks for clarifying my comment.
Also, most importantly, they need to stop lying.
@@jeremiahchamberlin4499 you were on the right track. When speaking about the House & Senate combined, it is called Congress. 😉
The Supreme Court should have term limits!!!!!
These "shadow dockets" should never be allowed to be hidden from the public. Ever!
News flash. Our government hides things from the public on a constant basis.
Senator Whitehouse for Chief Justice!
Absolutely he is a Constitutional Lawyer and Brilliant Man in so many ways.
Representative Jamie Raskin and Sherrilyn Ifill would be excellent, too.
Or, U.S. Attorney General.
Why?
Because the current attorney general has/is sleeping on the job.
Or President
Why is "Chief" Justice Roberts so willing to let his Justices be so Corrupted by ,BRIBES,GIFTS, AND FAVORS from Wealthy Corporations and Individuals???
They ignored Whitehouse for years, if they would have acted YEARS AGO, we wouldn't be in this position. Thank you Sen. Whitehouse. 🇺🇲💪
Looks Iike some of 'em in the democrats groups have been snoozing for decades
@@Agameda1 I'm an Indie and seem to be better informed re: Citizen's United, etc. Dems need to take the right stance on things like insider trading (which some dems benefit from) and other issues like this. A "little" corruption is still too much if you want people to believe your "transparency" schtick. People like Whitehouse, Sanders, Porter, etc. that insist that Dems clean up their act are not welcome to the party. Establishment partisans are some of the laziest mofos around, IMO and they BENEFIT by the GOP's corruption. Until we control dark money, we're pissin in the wind.
@@LeTrashPanda I'm not even a US citizen 🙄
They want to take us back to the 1950s or earlier but never talk about the tax rates for corporations and the rich back then.
@@LeTrashPandaI agree with you, we’re not allowed to do insider trading, they shouldn’t be allowed to either.

We love our own Whitehouse! ❤
My question: can these crooked judges be brought to Justice?
The mechanism is there, but very difficult. It requires impeachment and conviction. But there's clear evidence that all members of the present SCOTUS (except for Justice Jackson) obfuscated during their Judiciary Committee hearings. It's become common practice ever since Bork. Several also perjured themselves during their hearings (Thomas, Kavanough), which may well be sufficient to impeach them.
Judges from Supreme Court, should be accountable for The Damage to The Constitution, Democracy and The Law in The USA.
Give examples of how the Supreme Court has damaged the constitution
What damage did the current Supreme Court do? decision the democrats don't like? That is not damage that is just a political party acting like 1st graders. There were many decisions made by Chief Justice Warren and Chief Justice Burger that violated the constitution taking our country in a direction no one wanted to go. It is time to fix the damage Warren did.
They should be impeached

Grateful for you Senator Whitehouse Thank you
Senator Whitehouse is doing the real work we all expect of our representatives. Hearing common sense information from an ethically balanced and honest man is refreshing.
In defence of ordinary legislators, the facts that are the evidence to raise valid suspicion are not common sense at all. The Senator said near the start that it took a lot of hard, long digging to uncover the background. Congress members have to gen up on the topics of whatever special committee they serve on. It would be the preserve of the justice committee I imagine, but there are other areas within that portfolio. One doesn't expect the judges of the SCOTUS, for goodness sake, to need policing!
💯❤️
Yes, it is, very refreshing.
@@carolannhartley359But unfortunately, human nature being what it is they absolutely do need policing. We wouldn't need policing of anything at all if we were all self policing individuals. And the Supreme Court 's latest efforts have proved that. Let's be honest about the first thing about the first explanation from Alito was that it was his wife's fault. I would lay heavy money that most white men's first thought was "man, get control over the little woman then." I think that because it was mine and then I caught myself. A Justice needs control over their own image male or female period! Life is full of hard choices. The ones you make define who you are. ❤
And yet. . .
Senator Whitehouse's book, THE SCHEME, should be required reading for every high school civics class student, let alone for any candidate for public office in the United States. 🤔

Agree! Thanks
I'm a British/Australian who lived in the US for 12 years in the 70s/80s...I arrived when Jimmy Carter was president... I support you guys, Save Democracy... I can't believe what is happening over there... Don't let them drag you down... 🤔🙄
Thank you for your support and understanding. We have faithful allies in you Brits and Aussies. We are grateful.
Thank you for your support, consider telling your friends & family to support the Lincoln Project to help join the fight to save American democracy ❤️❤️❤️
It's hard to believe and yet... we've been building to this for decades. It's primarily driven by the demographic shifts. By 2035 Whites are expected to lose the majority in the country ie will make up less than 50% of US population. So for decades we've seen a push for Christian/White nationalist policies AND corporations using those voters to advance their own agenda.
Yes thank you, thank you. We love support from all over the world 🌎.
What's hard to believe? When you look at the physical landscape in terms of how people are segregated by race and income generally, the media landscape and the economic landscape with increasing wage gaps, it's not hard to believe.
I'd argue the U.S. suburbs on average can make people more inclined to live in bubbles as well and not have their horizons expanded, less diversity in experience.
Those are among three main factors that have converged to exacerbate divisions more and more over the past few decades.
This story is astounding and needs more exposure.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse and Mark. Your work is so appreciated. ❤❤❤
Thank You Senator Whitehouse and Mark Elias. Because of you two I can still hope.
Gotta love Senator Whitehouse. He's got the goods and the receipts. Watching out for all of us, for the public good. We really need more Congress people like Senator Whitehouse.
Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the very brightest, bravest and best leaders we have!
I could listen to more of Sen. Whitehouse. A lot over my head, got to learn sometime
Senator Whitehouse thank you for your courage sir. This is only the beginning I hope. We love you.
I can’t take it anymore. I’m 83 & see my country going down the tube. I have to trust You to do the right thing.😪
I am 80 this is a mess but we are on way to becoming better
Excellent discussion. I hope Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's doctrine gets through. Thank you.
Vote Blue! 💙🩵
Thank you for reminding us that we do have principles, values and morals.
And that we have some politicians who believe in our democracy and our laws.
If nothing else, this whole fiasco in which we now find ourselves has made clear what is 'the rule of law' vs. what is 'the rule of thumb'.
When DJT became President-elect, I called my state's SCOTUS library & spoke to the head librarian. I was shocked by how few laws governed those who served as our POTUS & President-elect, & now, I'm even more shocked at how few laws govern our SCOTUS. SCOTUS has NO checks & balances on its decisions, & can decide for itself, by itself what is ethical & what is not, regarding its own members. The Chief SCOTUS Justice can't even DEMAND that an Associate SCOTUS recuse themselves from a case due to a conflict of interest. That is crazy. OUR Government was set up to have checks & balances, hence its three branches, yet SCOTUS acts as an island unto itself. That has to stop!
Perfectly said!❤
Democracy is on the ballot. Project 2025 agenda is on the ballot. VOTE BLUE
Why can't the billionaires be charged with bribery?
Because the DOJ, most legislators, and the majority of judges work for them.
Exactly.
It's called Citizens United, legal dark money for political bribery... no less.
Probably for the same reason that they can pull the same crap that Trump gets away with. $$$ talks, and the rest of us poor folks have deal with it.

Constitutional scholars need to be added to the Supreme Court.

When searching for the truth, finding the most well informed perspective is a good place to start.
It seems that patching into the international debate on science, government and effective legal practices is more useful than ever!
Personally, I trust authority more when it's distributed in this matter, and allowed to evolve.
Power with misguided authority is a dangerous thing.
@@Simspop600 OMG YES
Amen to that! Most definitely and I certainly don't believe that Roberts, Kavanaugh, Alito and Thomas are not scholars of our constitution as they have been proving over and over!!
@@jackjimmy2625, I don't think that the POTUS should have any role in choosing the SCOTUS!! This should be done by the scholars nominating and the Congress and Senate and people all voting on the candidates. Anything would be better than the mess that we have now and it would eliminate the corruption!!
Sheldon should be senate leader!!
Yes! Schumer needs to step aside.
Agree 💯%! Schumer is not as effective a communicator as Whitehouse.
The Supreme Court needs strict rules governing gifts! As a lowly Public Health Nurse we had to declare all our holdings, income, etc each year so the Attorney General could look it over to determine we had accepted no gifts that might make us biased for or against any of the entities we inspected. We were not to take anything from an institution more than a glass of water! 💦
I, as well . And I am a lowly powerplant operator who never sees any outsider or customer to be bribed.
It is a joke.
Bought and paid for judges
When it comes to the modern-day Supreme Court it's difficult not to be cynical.
Listen to Senator be very cynical. This is a warning.
Difficult? IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!!!!!!
And the same goes for that magabot cult bunch!! They are all out of control!!
That’s because DT put incompetent boobs in with two jobs: make abortion illegal, make everything he does legal.
I guess you think modern day Supreme Court would consist of mainly LGBT and BLM?
I love you Senator Whitehouse. I've watched all your presentations about the Supreme Court and feel outrage about the court and all they have done to destroy the integrity of our Supreme court. I sincerely hope our Democratic society will wake up and get outraged and demand our Congress members do what is needed to reign in our out of control trump court!
Citizen’s United really woke me up. Dark Money by Jane Meyer was a great wake up. I am very angry with the 6 traitors on the court. Actually, Thomas being put on the court was the first time I worried about the court. I believe Anita even more now. Shame on you Senator Danforth. Hawley is equally horrible. VOTE BLUE FOR KAMALA HARRIS. Love Marc & Sheldon.
Sheldon Whitehouse belongs in the White House.
That's the first thing I said when I heard democrats may look for a replacement to Joe - get Whitehouse to be the nominee
@@darlingdear2687 I am not sure he wants to be president. No one seems to ask that question....all the names thrown around to "oust...as in a coup" Biden, no one asks them if they WANT to be President in this manner.
He is way too smart to be president.
He would be an obvious and good choice to be candidate for the White House.
@@darlingdear2687
Maybe in 4 years Sheldon Whitehouse (or Gavin Newsom) could run as president, but for now it has to be Biden/Harris. There’s no way anyone else could get on the ballot in all 50 states this late in the year, some states have already had primaries. Also the campaign money, by law, cannot be transferred to another candidate. If Biden feels during his term that he needs to step down, then we have the first woman president! We need to vote Biden in order to stop trump and his horrible project 2025. Read it, and you’ll want to get to the polls and VOTE BLUE no matter who all down the ballot!! 🗳️💙🌊🇺🇸
Please invite Senator Whitehouse regularly, you make a very compelling team
YES! Please!

Yes, please! We need him, especially right now.
Just rid us of SCROTUS! WE DONT NEED IT
It's fraud! These ppl who want to destroy our planet along with us! Jail time. Especially Thomas and the crew!
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for your efforts. The Nation, thanks you sir, for your diligence.
Thank you to all who are fighting for us regular people who are just living our lives.
The Supreme Court has become a joke, sadly.
One of the pillars of our three branches no longer functions independently, but has gone over to MAGA. This is unacceptable.
It’s past time to fix this, and the sooner the better.
Change the number of justices, enforce a strict code of ethics, and institute term limits. Nothing less will suffice.

Thank you Senator Whitehouse
Sheldon Whitehouse for the Whitehouse!
It seems to me that ProPublica conducted detailed investigations, tracing the dark money as well as corruption of specific justices.The results of these investigations were detailed in block ouster reporting.
How is it possible that the Senate Judiciary Committee is unable to use this to inform the public. Doesn't take any work.
How is it possible that the Senate Judiciary Committee is unable to execute the subpoenas and hold powerful hearings?
What's the point of having power if you don't use it.
Unless the Court is rexpanded/rebalanced, nothing will change.
Absolute admiration for Senator Whitehouse! It became acceptable to be a little bit bad, a bit of a rebel. But unfortunately greed and corruption completely took over.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is truly amazing, he should be supported to the max in his quest to right glaring wrongs that have been going on for way too long!
There are people like Glen Kirschner who explain SCOTUS corruption pretty well, and you too Senator Whitehouse.
Here's a non-American who thinks the Meidas Touch Network is awesome...Great info from the truthtellers....
Also Devin Stone (LegalEagle) and Leeja Miller.
There are a few attorneys who can explain the Supreme Court, and these are two of the best. I like Neal Katyal as well, because he was Solicitor General. He has argued many cases before the Supreme Court, and knows his stuff, when it comes to these weird and blatantly unconstitutional rulings. It should be obvious, when the court rules 79% of the time, in favor of business and Chamber of Commerce, that the big money is what makes the difference.
Love Glen K too!
I just signed up for Democracy Docket and I made a small donation, because I am so grateful for what your doing for our country ‼️🗳️💙🇺🇸
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all your concerns and hard work for honest Justice for all!! Please keep up your job 👏👏👏👏👏❣️
It's wild to me that we have zero mechanisms in place to address such a corrupt and befouled court. They're literally telling these younger generations that our laws mean nothing.
The Founders couldn't imagine this scenario
Yes, they are totally irresponsible, unethical and dishonorable. And according to the U.S. Constitution, they can be removed for that. It states Supreme Court Justices "shall hold their Offices during good behaviour". What we are witnessing is certainly NOT good behavior! They must be impeached, but with the current GOP Senate majority and the anti-democratic filibuster still in effect, this will not happen. 🤑 The filibuster needs to go. It is NOT in the U.S. Constitution and should not be permitted.
Love you, Sen. Whitehouse. Thank you for all your efforts! 💖🇺🇸
Thank you Sen Whitehouse, please keep talking about this.

I was saying that in 2016, voting for Hillary was voting for the Supreme Court.
Well, that carries its own problems, but there are better ways to do it than how we do it now. Some of the states have pretty good ways of seating state supreme court judges. What we have now is a court filled with a majority of corporatists.

Senator Whitehouse has his own RUclips channel and he has a seies of videos called The Scheme wherein he lays out how the takeover of The Supreme Court has taken place. His videos on everything he works on are very enlightening.
