- Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse joins MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss the two “MAGA battle flags” flying at Justice Alito’s homes as he refuses to recuse from cases involving Donald Trump and Jan. 6: “It really capsulates all the problems we’ve had with this rogue Supreme Court and its refusal to accept any rule of law.”

#MAGA #JusticeAlito #flag
A body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody ought not to be trusted by anybody.”
― Thomas Paine
Very good.
Love it. TY for posting
Well said. Grüße aus Australien.
Do you think it was appropriate for Joe Biden to shower with his teenage daughter? In her diary, she spoke of showering late at night only after her father had gone to sleep so he wouldn't join her. ---- PG. 11.
Sounds like the DOJ.
IMPEACH this MAN NOW. This is NOT the time for fecklessness timidity. Lives are at stake.
Republican senators are as corrupts as Alito and Thomas they will never vote to impeech them
Biden should go on national TV and call for Alito and Thomas to step down or at least recuse themselves from Jan 6 cases. Why is he not putting pressure and calling them out? This is no time to be timid.
The democrats just put a message out there once or twice, then act like that takes care of it - they said their piece.
They have to keep hammering away at it to get it into peoples’ minds, like Republicans do.
All of this has to do with weakness of John Robert, who has no control of his court!

Because the Marxists got dirt on him he’s compromised.
Because some group of Lawyers are paying his wife 10 million A year to train them to argue cases before SCOTUS. unless he Recused himself from every case the argued he is being bribed!
I really want to get that book that talks about the modern corruption of the Obscene court. I say bring back the witch trials for these specific black robes. Dunk trials in the Ptomac would work! Only the allegedly corrputed ones.
Clearly he agrees with them, otherwise he’d stop it
Let me guess...it was the cleaning lady's fault...
Oh yes, for sure, those cleaning ladies know no bounds when clearing out household fixture and fittings!
Perhaps even the pool boy, or maybe the gardener, or even the dogwalker……. Grüße aus Australien.

The cleaning lady who speaks broken English.😮

If roberts does nothing, then he's as bad as alito & thomas 😡
Absolutely
If these justices are violating the law of the land, why aren't they being indicted?
There should be no person in America that is above the law
All citizens enjoy freedom of speech, expression and assembly... want to change that?
When the Supreme court was increased to nine members, it was because there were nine circuits at the time. There are now 13 circuits. It's time to expand the court and make ghouls like Thomas and Alito irrelevant.
Unless you just add more of them
13 is a lucky number.
50 states + D.C. (or Puerto Rico) = 51.

What about Guam!
And the other 7 territories of the U.S.??
They pay us taxes, and live under the U.S. constitution, and are protected by the U.S. military.
I don’t have a problem giving them voting rights! Not sure how they would line up party wise, but oh well.
He should have recused himself from all judgements touching on Trump, and he should resign immediately and apologize to the American people for his unprofessional bias and actions.
Freedom of speech is only for certain people.
Alito and Thomas must be recused from anything related to Jan 6th
Sen. Durbin of the Judiciary Committee must investigate, conduct hearings on the Court's political bias.
I won’t be surprise if he blames his dog. Alito and Thomas must resign for violating their oath of office and Roberts should also resign for enabling for his inaction.

The upside-down flag is a signal of distress. Look it up.
The other flag is essentially the same thing.
Our nation is collapsing; our Constitution in shreds.
Justice Alito has every right to express his concerns and there is absolutely no reason for anyone to be offended.
He’s worried for us all.
@@adriennesmith4983 When you're a Supreme Court Justice you keep your personal political concerns to yourself. This guy is shameless (and Clarence T? Wow, talk about a puppet owned by wealthy patrons).
@@adriennesmith4983Our nation is "collapsing" (under threat) BECAUSE of anti-American MAGAts like Alito and Thomas.
Kavanaughty and gorsuxh should resign for lying under oath during their confirmation hearings and for BRIBES before that. You think that $200000 was really for "season tickets"? Season tickets are commonly used for BRIBES
If Judge Alito had any self respect he'd step down but he doesn't so he won't.🙄
Cry Harder 😂😂😂😂
All you have to do is take one look at the orange dripping from his lips and you will understand the whole story 🤮
Swallow harder @@user-wh9vy2fx8y
@@user-wh9vy2fx8yI doubt you would say the same if a liberal justice did it. 🤡
No self respect is a mark of recognition for these traitors.
Alito and Thomas should leave the bench and take their disgrace with them.
They will NEVER leave - unless they are IMOEACHED, they are close to installing a King, and carrying out their Christian Nationalist decades long AGENDA!
They're extremists they have no shame.
Agreed
They ruined their own legacy
Those extremists would never do such thing .
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all you ve done to reveal the machinations of the current Supreme Court. Despicable!
IMPEACH Alito and Thomas!
They weren’t elected they were appointed.
Please do a segment on how to file a judicial complaint against Alito and Thomas.
Glenn kirshner has a form & instructions on his yt channel.
End the corruption by getting money out of politics!!! 💰💵💰💵
We can thank the supreme court for that too. Citizen's United. Corporations are not people and money is not free speech.
I like judges that aren't crooked or biased. Scotus judges should have an 8 year term limit and should be elected by the voters. Also, while we're making America great again, an impeached president should not be allowed to run for a second term.
There's ur problem they all have bias one way or another
Bingo 🥀
He wasn't impeached 😂 Impeachment hoax 1 and 2 fell through 😂
@@FahQue1984 Q maga cultist.

Alito and Thomas have as much business on our Supreme Court as I have living on Mars.
*clap* GOOD ONE.
I'm sorry he doesn't believe in the country he has made an oath to , so why are they still working for it. He should be fired.
Does the wife have issues with the neighbors at the beach house, too?
lol right
When our founders wrote our constitution I ASSURE YOU THEY DONT WANT A FACIST MAGA SUPREME COURT
Loooooove the smart Senator!❤
Alito and Uncle Clarence should be impeached. This is shameful.
Look who is talking derogatory and degrading to judges now . The American fraud leftist.
I didn’t see you people on here CRYING about FLAGS when liberal DEMOCRATS were on the news BURNING OUR FLAG.
THIS COUNTRY IS IN DISTRESS. SO NOW…. WE WILL ALL FLY OUR FLAGS UPSIDE DOWN. Not that we have too….. OUR ENEMIES ALREADY KNOW THIS COUNTRY IS WEAK AND COMPROMISED UNDER BIDENS WATCH
The upside-down is a Distress Signal. Look it up.
The other flag is essentially the same. He’s saying: Pray.
Stop letting these agents of the NWO in the media tell you what to think. Their job is literally to divide & weaken us.
Look behind the curtain.
Look around.
We’re heading over the cliff.
Alito’s another one without integrity. Term limits please!
When the people who have the final say over The Peoples' Rights are no longer answerable to The People, we have an issue or three with the system
It was inevitable. The whole political system in the US has no vetting foundation other than people voting for individuals. Anyone, regardless of how unqualified on every level, can run for a seat in Congress or the White House. And from there, judges are nominated and approved - regardless of how unsuitable or unqualified they are. The rot stems from the roots.
I happen to think that all judges should be nominated, vetted and approved by an independent council, perhaps consisting of former judges and law scholars. They screen the candidates careers and decide if they are suitable. From the lowest court to the highest court.
They way it is now, with one party being not only utterly corrupt but un-american and downright fascistic, you get maga trash like thomas and alito on the supreme court and cannon down in floriduh actively trying to squash the documents case for trump - because he appointed her and she hopes to be rewarded with a scotus promotion down the line.
@@Ganiscolvery well said!
Senator Whitehouse, you're one of the good ones -- thank you for actually doing your job on behalf of the American people. I read your book and recommend it to everyone I know. It is essential reading. The corruption is breathtaking.
What I don't get is WHY would he put himself in this position over flags? He knows it would cause major controversy. What's the motive for it?
Thank you for covering this
It’s irrelevant.
@kenc7120 It's disqualifying to sit on Trump v. US for Alito.
Oh well, sorry about your luck.
@@kenc7120 Actually it’s not. You just don’t like hearing the truth.

Hey Senator Whitehouse. You are one of my top three senators..
Totally agree! He’s so straight and honest! Ithink he run for president - he is smart educated and knowledgeable!
Whitehouse for the white house.
😂you scraped the bottom of the barrel don't you😅
No to senorita outhouse in the white house
Mine, too -- the others being Bernie and Elizabeth. Wouldn't it have been great to have them as Pres and V-Pres!!
I really hope Katie Porter wins her Senate race in California.
This is what happens when small, weak, little men gain power...
Perhaps Judge Merchan and DA Willis should start flying flags.
Fun times.
Supremely corrupted and biased ! They must be removed from their buddy's criminal cases, not SHOULD but MUST !!!
Recuse or resign, Alito! This SC has gone rogue
We the people must have more power when it comes to the SCOTUS. It's time to hold them accountable for their actions.
Mr. President?! Assign four more Judges to The Supreme Court. You are well within your rights to do so. There are thirteen judicial districts... no longer nine. Fill the four vacant judicial districts.
You cannot be a Trump supporter AND a moral human being.
You people have issues
You cannot be a Trump supporter AND a moral human being I agree.

ahh have to say the chief architect of the supreme kkkourt as it stands seems to me to be mr mcturtle. credit where credit is due. its been a mcconnell project for a long long time.
Alito should not only recuse himself from any case involving Trump he should recuse himself from the legal profession altogether. He's a Russian propagandist.
Alito needs to be out of our Supreme Court... NOW! He cannot be trusted!
Alito is not for Democracy in our country.
Alitio is complicit in the adherence of Tolitarian reigns. Alitio seems to prefer dictators instead of a presidency.
Alito
That is because we are a representative Republic, not a pure democracy
@@wlm2618irrelevant - the “ represent “ part requires representation of the people’s will.
LOL I get what you did there with the misspelled "Tolitarian" Reigns vs. Totalitarian Reigns - basically we're flushing everything down the toilet, especially orange turds like Trump. Project 2025 proves this without a doubt, cause it's a %^%ty plan that MAGA GOP wants us to follow!
That's not even possible to have a dictator in the United States.I don't think you know what you're talking about
The Pine Tree flag represents the ideals of the founding fathers, liberty, freedom, and justice for all.
Wow, so his wife flew the flag upside down at the beach house too? That's a lot of flag hoisting by his wife! I guess she used to be custodian before she became a cult member. Well, I mean thank goodness its not the judge himself huh? 🫏😃
She seemingly is fighting with all her neighbors across all their homes/properties in the country… smh
@@user-qb2yo3oy6c Well, there's only one other explanation, its aliens... obviously
Stop blaming her, blame her neighbors!
This has to stop. Clarence Thomas and Alito need to be removed
So for the cases that Alito has heard regarding anything that was and is relating to Trump should all be thrown out and Alito needs to be impeached along with Thomas. Thomas should also be impeached! Then Biden should get two judges in that will upheld the law regardless of political affiliation
They used to wear white hoods, now they wear red hats and fly flags upside down.
I’d assume you’re talking about democrats, or you failed history class. Look into who and why the kkk was founded.
Actually, according to historical facts, the KKK was founded as a military arm to the Democratic Party.
Thanks for posting your comment, I didn’t know this fact until I looked it up after reading your comment. 👍.
Alito should do more than recuse himself from the January 6th insurrection case, he should resign his seat on the Supreme Court..
He has no decency or honor. so why would he do either?
Not doubt he’s has been promised a multi-million bonus and a top position in the Trump cabinet for doing everything in his power to overthrow democracy.
He is a flunky of the extreme Christian Nationalists like Leonard Leo, the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. They own him.
We simply can't have any position in society that is never accountable to anything.
Babies?
This is disgusting. Changes need to take place now before America is turned into a theocracy.
Idio-theocracy* 😱
Need a National wide petition to remove from court.
I'll sign.....
Without hesitation. 👍
They won't leave for that I suspect too much money and power to give up merely for the will of the people.
Alito has to be held accountable for removing this traitor
Impeach Alito and Thomas
😮The cartoon character Justice Alito standing on his head next to his upside down flag pointing to his wife blaming her 😊
Alito: My wife did it.
Wife: My maid did it.
Maid: I told her it was upside-down, but she'd had too many martinis.
Alito needs to be immediately impeached and removed from the bench.
Wake up America and vote Blue in Nov
Is he going to blame his children, Laura or Philip Alito this time?
Alito showing us he is untouchable and saying NEENER NEENER NEENER!!
He should be indefinitely suspended without pay until he testifies under oath about these traitorous actions. Act now .
The “Complaint of Judicial Misconduct or Disability” form is on the United States Courts site, btw.
Thank you!
Nikki Nimrata Haley " America isn't racist 😆 couldn't answer a simple question. Now doesn't understand her voting for Trump is an endorsement of Trump . Does she pocess a highschool diploma 😆
Add four new justices to the SCOTUS asap
And this is a judge are you kidding me get this traitor out of the court system
Who is he going to blame this on ?
His gray haired momma ?
Alito and Thomas shouldn't recuse, they should resign!
He really needs to be IMPEACHED
When Biden is reelected and Dems have the House and Senate, the Court needs to be expanded. Justice at last.
Election 2024 -- Left or Reich -- The Choice is Yours
Recuse my butt, make him & Thomas retire
What processes exist to immediately recuse Alito and Thomas with regards to any Trump issue(s) that they will hear and decide upon? Doesn’t Roberts have an obligation to demand or implement recusal on these two clowns?
There isn't one, it's up to each Justice to police themselves and that needs to be changed yesterday!
Corrupt Alito needs to step down immediately and turn in his citizenship and be deported. How pathetic he is along with his corrupt buddy Thomas. What an embarrassment to our justice system
This court is a joke.
Whitehouse was Right all along...get em guy...
Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are good buddies. They usually conspire to make the same ruling in order to affect the outcome of a case.
Why aren't there any judicial arguments that she is laying the system and so should be recused anyway?
I believe Alito should not be judge. He should resign.
Disgusting, as a Canadian, I feel sorry for the decent people of America, which does not seem to be most Republicans.
Strange how our political plight is so obvious to people outside of our borders worldwide. Alas, If only half of our populace had common sense or was educated better to recognize a major con job when it was happening right in front of them. Tragic to see the U.S. taken down by a spoiled rotten, lying, egomaniacal, twice impeached, carnival barker.
America is completely corrupted their is no law and justice they should rescue him not a choice
OMG, the entire world is watching us. We need to fix this before it’s too late. We are losing that “ righteous indignation”, that we flaunt to other countries.
After 9 years, it's a little late.
Alito and Thomas are losers.Oliver Wendell Holmes is turning in his grave
Sincerest gratitude to Mr. Whitehouse for his constant effort to preserve democracy. It looks like our scotus has been captured by an enemy of the state and should be treated as the very serious threat that it is.
Someone should send Alito a tiki torch and a Trump flag.
Or a white hood and a cross. Really the same thing, though.
They sold us out.
Well, Alito has opened up yet another "gate": Flag Gate. His portrait belongs in the hall of shame annex (which is an extension of the main hall, due to large numbers).
Good grief! And we pay these fools?😡
This person needs to be removed and so does Thomas. He will be removed. These people are a disgrace
Cope
Laurence thanks for the info……even though it’s sickening, Senator Whitehouse is a treasure❤
Impeach for treason
Unless SCOTUS is held to the highest standard of the law, there can be no confidence in them to maintain the rule of law when ruling on ANY case at all.
Garland should indict these vile justices but he wont.they take so called gifts and dont disclose them and probably dont disclose them on their taxes either.crooks should not be on the supreme courts
Better than laundering I suppose
