- May 3 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse delivers closing remarks in the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights in a hearing entitled, “An Ethical Judiciary: Transparency and Accountability for 21st Century Courts.” The hearing explored the lack of transparency and accountability in the federal judiciary and possible solutions - including a strong code of ethics for the U.S. Supreme Court. In light of reports of a draft Supreme Court majority ruling that would overturn Roe v. Wade, the hearing also examined the perception that right-wing special interests exert undue control over our judicial system.
How can this Senator's presentations be ignored by just about every major news service?????? We cannot save this country unless we get our media out of the hands of US oligarchs.
Absolutely
Absolutely!!!
Also the Australian oligarchs…
MSM is actively supporting the fascists. None of them are talking at all about citizens fighting back, and winning. The only time they have ANYTHING positive to say about democracy and democrats they plagiarize the work of others. Yesterday, MSNBC read directly from one of Heather's daily letters to Americans, without crediting her, of course. The media only reports tweets. In opposition with their First Ammendment responsibility. Shame on them.
Because he exposes the criminality and corruption of the billionaires that own those companies.
Apparently we do still have a "few good people " in government.
Thank you Mr Whitehouse and Katie Porter
And Raskin. All three are Gold.
You belong in the news network. Where is CNN, MSNBC and others. ??
It’s curious how much right wing vitriol is aimed at Nancy Pelosi, who has shown real leadership, but hardly even know who Katie Porter is, a woman who is more direct of a threat to them and their perfidy
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all your significant efforts. Your excellent work needs to become our new standard.
We need to expand the GAO to monitor funds and agencies. Bush cut It for it not go function.
Superb orator, Mr Whitehouse puts it so well, the truth, and he really does deserve to be heard a lot more, in the face of what is taking place in America at the moment
Iô
It’s owew
Wish you would run for President. Get Michelle Obama as VP PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AND WHAT THE TWO OF YOU COULD ACCOMPLISH!!!!!!!
@@makaracomeau160 you are correct, but Michelle Obama has said many times she would never consider public office. She had more than enough during her eight years living in the White House.
Thank you, Senator. 465 million thanks.
I wish Senator Whitehouse would run for president.
He is too clever.
Me too, you are not alone with that thought.
I agree, only if his replacement has the same credibility and sincerity in cleaning up Washington.
Whitehouse/Franken 2024.
Mr Whitehouse in the White House! Definitely.
Senator Whitehouse is a national treasure. He never stops bringing to light all the ‘dark money’ that controls our government. If we want to rid the government of dark money influences, we must vote blue and keep voting blue until we rid our government of those making the decisions for us. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You need to weed them.out of the Democrats as well, the likes of Manchin and Sinema for starters and anyone else who takes big corporate donations from the same people as the republicans.
YOUR RIGHT, BUT WE NEED MORE DEMOCRATS
IN OFFICE TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THE GOOD THAT CAN BE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY!
I totally agree with Sen Whitehouse. I think it's time to add seats to the court. Voting rights was first, mow the threat to abortion, what's next? Please vote Democrats into local, state and federal government to protect our democracy and rights.
The Federalist Society is easily the most corrupt Conservative GOP institution in the United States. This group needs to be investigated for tax evasion and money laundering t o mention just two of these illegal activities. The Federalist Society is also the chief source of Seditious rhetoric that Republican members of Congrss repeat with far too much regularity.
Next will be your right to have access to birth control, then the right to interracial marriage, after that, your right to marry someone of the same sex, after that, who knows. If YOU (the collective "you,") do NOT want to lose these rights and freedoms we now enjoy, get online or go to your local county registrar office, register AND vote BLUE!!! That way we would have more democrats in both the house and Senate. With a huge majority, laws WILL be passed that will protect these rights AND freedoms.This also applies to each and every single local and state elections. It also includes school boards and anyone running for ANY office, all the way down to your local dogcatcher!!! So, again, if YOU want to protect ALL of your rights and freedoms, VOTE BLUE!!!!!
Not all Democrats are worthy of office. Too many neoliberal corporations who are ok with war.
@@alisondiaz1026 Texas Governor Abbott just stated the next GOP objective will be eliminating public education. Abbott wants to defund public schools by eliminating school taxes. That would be a quick way to end labor shortages. And kids could even work for free as part of a apprenticeship program. Win Win.
THANK YOU, YOUR EXACTLY RIGHT, EVERYONE PLEASE VOTE
BLUE ON ALL ELECTIONS!
Senator Whitehouse: We all would be better off if everyone knew about you, and what you do. I cannot adequately express my gratitude. Thank you!
I love this man and I don't know why we don't really knowchim,he needs to run for president,I would bet he could win
How can some stupid judges vote to please a stupid x twice impeached president that lies like a rug go home to their wives and kiss them and they are called some idiots
We would all be better off using him as an example of comparison when vetting out candidates, both local and congressional.
@@Pattys1967 - I think he’s said publicly that he doesn’t want to, that he’s happy where he is.
He’s doing invaluable work exposing dark money.
Only Kate Porter could replace him….or Elizabeth Warren.
Senator White House is the REAL VOICE OF REASON AND CONSCIENCE in the HOUSE OF CONGRESS.
GOD BLESS YOU SENATOR, AND MAY THE GOOD LORD PROTECT YOU ALWAYS.
Totally 💯
Yes!
Yes were are the rest of Democratic Party they should follow this man lend now before they lose democracy all together!!
Congressman Whitehouse is always spot on! He does his research. Thank you, sir👏👏👏👏
Sheldon Whitehouse is a Senator from Rhode Island. Amazingly gifted speaker with an enviable intellect. Both commodities greatly lacking in US politics and the chambers of the US Congress. Republicans, of course, absolutely love ignorance and savage stupidity.
I forget to breathe when I listen to Senator Sheldon. It's like watching him perform CPR on Democracy.
It's like the old days of Roller Derby. Love it!
Awesome reference! You're right, he's riveting. It's so dang refreshing to have a senator know the law, reference it correctly, and speak truth.
Stunning response!
The world is a better place to be in, knowing you are in it - thank you for your efforts and keep fighting!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SENATOR WHITEHOUSE
I live in mid Florida. Wish Whitehouse was my Senator.
Senator Whitehouse for POTUS.
I'm from Scotland, and I'd vote for him.
Senator Whitehouse is a beacon of my hope for democracy stand this onslaught of dangerous power. Our democracy is in the hands of citizens.
Voters. Try BLUE when voting in 2022. You future may depend on it.
Senator Whitehouse is the leader arriving just in time.
God bless America 🇺🇸
Senator Whitehouse is a patriotic American.
Watching with interest from the Heart ❤ of America 🇺🇸.
Touché Mr Whitehouse👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
We need to clone this man. I hope people are listening to what he has to say.
It is a very sweet statement. Congressman Whitehouse is a genuine, brilliant and ethical senator, a rare pearl nowadays in politics.
Thankyou Senator Whitehouse for your service. Please continue to drive these points home and keep them in the public eye. Voters need to be sure we upset the current balance of power towards a stronger Blue majority in both houses so that we can see some of these issues, and others, rectified.
Vote Blue. Thank you Senator Whitehouse for your service.
Bravo, Mr.Whitehouse, I can't say thank you enough for this superb speech.
I hope you run for President.. you've got my vote. Blessings on thee...to quote my beloved Quaker grandmother.
Whitehouse, one of the very few remaining, ethical, politicians.
What a senator Should Be🙏
It is time the Supreme Court stopped conducting business in secret. Their decision-making processes and deliberations should be as open to the public as their final decisions.
True that! They act like they are kings and queens in a marble palace, and whatever they say is the law of the land
Yes why isn't he is the news? He needs a PR person.
Thank You Senator Whitehouse.
You are Fabulous!
Please stay strong in using your voice on behalf of all of us.

Wow, Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the very, very few politicians that I respect and who inspire confidence in their abilities to do what is moral and just. We have such a steaming caldron of crap in Congress and the courts, especially the Supreme Court. Justifiably so, American's faith in government is at an all time low, but if we had a majority serving with the similar character and intelligence of this man then I think I could have good feelings about this country rather than the utter disdain and loathing I feel.
I love this guy, always a straight shooter and no-nonsense approach, and he reminds me a lot of Senator Warren and Rep. Porter… now if all politicians and all of our representatives reflected even ¼ of the integrity of Mr. Whitehouse and Ms. Warren and Ms. Porter have, this country would not only be number 1 in every political, social, economic index, but we truly would be the greatest nation on the planet… and not by Trump’s and the GOP’s low and abysmal standards. Hence, choose your representatives extremely carefully; their differences are stark, even deadly when we choose wrongly.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
WHITEHOUSE AND PORTER FOR POTUS
Before it's too late.
💯 agree 👍 Whitehouse/ Porter 2024
@@danaproske1072 Well said, terrific ticket. Let's see what happens. Dream team.

THANK THE LORD...!!!... for Senator Whitehouse!!! 💕🙏💕

Preach.
Thank you sir!! Well said and the truth always is
I am nominating Senator Whitehouse and Katie Porter to run together for 2024. they would make a wonderful and ethical team.
ABSOLUTELY!! Unbeatable.
Elizabeth Warren also.
Bravo. It is deeply troubling to hear about the involvement of Dark Money in our judicial system. Now, how do we get it out!

Whitehouse is such a beast. He is the best.
Sen Whitehouse, a tireless champion of American democracy, truth, justice, and the American people. History will be kind to this honorable man. God bless him. Xoxo
Chairman Whitehouse - can we PLEASE impeach Kavanaugh now?
Thank you so much Mr. Whitehouse!
A true patriot speaking, listen learn
Sen Whitehouse is brilliant. Period.
Need an age limit, term limit and qualifications requirement to be considered for Supreme Court.
I have great respect for Senator Whitehouse in honoring the truth...thank you.
"Decades ago, big corporations & right wing ideologues figured out that judges with life tenure can carry out their unpopular agendas & cement those political victories for decades." - Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
He’s a smart and good man, I’d vote for him for president
Yes, what a concept because we have too many elected officials who are dumb & mean.
Paid for by the wealthiest(GOP) that use workers up and destroy democracy
God bless you Senator Whitehouse! I wish you were our President!!!!
"No apparent principle" A perfect statement of the Federalist Society Court.
No money should be changing hands anywhere!
Imagine Trumpet debating this man!!!!(on anything)....THAT I would pay to see.
SCOTUS I rotten. Thank you, Sen. Whitehouse.
Thank you Mr. Whitehouse. May God fill you with Grace in these exhilarating and exasperating times. You’re one of our very finest. I’m a big fan.
We must balance the court.
He’s absolutely spot on and the Republican authoritarian agenda needs to be stopped and scotus reformed to the constitutional standards or non-partisanship.
If only news worthy reporters would use his valuable information.
You are an example of the kind of representation we truly need right now. Thank you!
I have enormous confidence and respect for Senator Whitehouse. He'd be a fantastic president.❤👌
One of the few real heroes in our govmnt !!
We are out of touch and out of time. Hall and Oats
I hope he isn't offended by this, but I just LOVE Senator Whitehouse!!!!!! You tell 'em, sir. The truth so eloquently spoken is a blessing. Imagine him as AG.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for President!
Vote this November 👍 and make sure all your friends get to the polls too!
If only every Congress member was as principled and brave as Sen. Whitehouse. What a truly great nation we would be.
Senator Whitehouse, you are our champion, now when we sorely need someone to fight for us. Thank you.
Outstanding🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please pass standard of Ethics required for any elected or “Appointed” official. Leaders with low standards just can’t stand! In my day No Public officials could publicly back politics as you Serve All! We need a standard of decorum with clear rules and quick remedy when not adhered. Criminals in Congress need to Go!
Now, I have not thought this all the way through... but I am thinking that, people who run for office, should be allowed NO campaign fund. They should be given one free campaign commercial space, for a tv ad that explains their qualifications and agenda. Nothing else should matter.
Dealing with authoritarians. Power, greed, control.
He would make a great president!
Bravo Senator Whitehouse 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 as usual … the dark money guru
If anyone in America can legitimately say I told you so it’s this man!
Bravo!
God Bless you for standing up for the people of the United States and of America
If only the republicans spoke with such integrity - he is a great orator and an honest decent human being! He would be a great President!
Hope for America's sake they do it quickly.
Thank you for your clear and principled voice. To live in a true democracy we must take money out of politics. Period. it must be done or we will continue to live in this cancer of an elite dictatorship.
Good Afternoon Friends and Relatives!

Sheldon for president. He is awesome!!!!
Truth matters thank you for this
I also think that he would be a great President of these United States.
Very important speech that I would like to hear translated by George Carlin because he has a way of making the danger visceral.
Excellent, well said Mr Whitehouse. I dont think the republicans, special interest nor the judges will allow any changes. The only way to protect ourselves is to VOTE..
This man sets too high a high bar for all the limbo dancing Republicans. (From Scotland) looking in.
Why is this man not considered for 2024? He is a great orator. Sensible and considered. He would make the rest of the world sit up and realise that not all the Senate's members are uneducated crazies.
About the best going in 2022. He and Katie Porter would make a great team.
TERM limits and voters choose supreme court nominees! Impeach judges who lied under oath if they vote to get rid of Roe!
Unfortunately I would counter that the average voter is not qualified to judge the credentials and credibility of various nominees and elect SCOTUS Members.
@@drsylvietourigny5428 unfortunately congress isn't doing a very good job. Can't trust a republican
That court is definitely there!!!
Senator Whitehouse, thank you for your diligent work to expose corruption and dark money in the U.S. government and institutions and Courts. Your findings and your presentations should be front-page news every single day until this long-standing mess is cleaned up and cleaned out. I sincerely hope the people of Rhode Island understand how important their Senator is for all the rest of us. Thank you!!
He is talking about transparency ,the United States is not the only western democratic country suffering with the same problem .
Whitehouse rocks!
Me Whitehouse is one of our most remarkable leaders.. a brilliant mind. Should run for pres!❤❤
Just listening to this clip was the most positive and real thing I have heard from an elected official for years! America has had a sad past with money and finally someone is saying it out loud! I pray something happens that ends the agenda of the elitists. Our country needs change that effects all the people.
In the past couple of days, Senator Whitehouse's Judiciary sessions seem to be attracting a lot more views. Good news 👏
Like, share, subscribe VIRAL!
Amen
What a good man Senator Whitehouse is! HE stands for democracy - small d - not the party - but for WE THE PEOPLE in this democracy.
Excellent video.
One of the few smart politicians, Mr. Whitehouse is a Straight Schooler with is words.
Thank you.This oration should be sounded via media and newsprint everyday
Higher offices demand higher standards.
