D.Docket && everybody go to watch Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's "THE SCHEME" Supreme Court Packing speeches, IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, #35 (watch a few), Congressional speeches in the Congressional RECORD.
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... 💋👀👌🙏🕯🇺🇸🇺🇦💙💛
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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!! 🗳️💙🌊🇺🇸
Senator Whitehouse is a national treasure. He has been working long and hard on accountability for the supreme Court, and we are all fortunate to have him .
He’s been doing it for years. They didn’t listen, pay attention. Now this is where were at.. disgusting. We need the W.H. Congress, & House to straighten out some of this mess. And we need 2028 also. Bc this will take time.
CONGRESS. MAN WHITE HOUSE FOR ATTORNEY. GENERAL 24. THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR HARD AND DELEGENT. WORK. WE NEED LAW AND ORDER IN THIS COUNTRY, ALSO NEW HONEST JUDGES IN THE SUPREME COURT. ALL SIX TRAITORS SHOULD BE IMPREACHED.

How do you guys face each new day?? This is so depressing. Thank you both so much for what you do. But I feel so hopeless. How am I , a 79 year old retired woman, going to get dark money out of politics? All I do is fret over what I can’t control. Kudos to both of you for being warriors on my behalf. Thank God for you and others who fight the good fight. I am grateful.
I know how you feel. 73 yr old female, in RI, TOTALLY WORRIED ABOUT LOSING SS. MY SPECIAL NEEDS ADULT SON LIVES WITH ME. RI, AND OTHER STATES, WILL HAVE EVEN "MORE HOMELESS PEOPLE" AND MOST WILL BE SENIORS THAT WILL LOSE THEIR HOMES, IF THEY LOSE OR GET LESS SS. THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THEIR MEDS, OR FOOD OR ANYTHING. PEOPLE IN CONGRESS HAVE TO SOMEHOW MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

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.
The only way I'm walked off the metaphorical ledge I find myself occupying still far too frequently is to listen to Democracy Docket and read the daily email. I'm bookmarking this interview with Sen. Whitehouse and will be following up with my senators after Kamala is sworn in. Thanks, Marc. Again.
Why is "Chief" Justice Roberts so willing to let his Justices be so Corrupted by ,BRIBES,GIFTS, AND FAVORS from Wealthy Corporations and Individuals???
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.

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!
@@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. ❤
To Senator Whitehouse, thank you for movung to Rhode Island, my home state, to represent the people there. You are a voice of inteligence, integrity and sanity.
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.
The best podcast I've ever heard on the intersection of law, politics and dark ( malign!) money. I have learnt so much. You are fighting the good fight and I am impressed that Senator Whitehouse seems to be a good and sensible man. From New Zealand I'm watching your elections with a sick fascination
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!
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. 🤔
Thank you SOoooo much for this broadcast! It was very educational about the problems with our SC & politics. Mark & Sheldon have been my heroes fir a long time, fighting the good fight every day!🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍
Senator Whitehouse explained what I've been anxious about for years. Dems have been slow at recognizing or even acknowledging whar is going on. I stopped trusting the court when Roberts was appointed to SCOTUS. I was alarmed when Thomas was confirmed! Half the polulation was disrespected with his choice and it's been down hill ever since.
Those -fake-case appeals" are kind of like "wagging-the-dog". Thank you Marc and Senator Whitehouse for all of your work on revealing the corruption in SCOTUS.
I'm a British/Australian who lived in the US for 15 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, 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.
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.
The Justice should be a well studied and learned person. I would expect they worked hard, an enjoyed gathering knowledge and doing their Job. I believe and regular Person, being a Member of SCOTUS would have a good life. They would he able to enjoy their Family and everything. Why would a Judge need to break the laws? I think Clarence Thomas likes to do harm, that is his goal.
WOW! THIS is an eye-opening discussion! I had NO clue how twisted this situation has become. Thank you, Hon. Whitehouse & Esq. Elias for the deep education. 🧐
Sheldon Whitehouse is an exemplary elected official. We vote for our officials to go to D. C. to speak on OUR behalf & to monitor what is going on in OUR government to make sure it remains to OUR benefit. Senator Whitehouse has kept to his oath of office & REMAINS OUR surrogate in D. C. Bravo, Dear Sir, Bravo!
So important , don't stay at home on polling day. Here in Australia wr have voting on Saturday from 8am to 8pm. We have absentee voting if you are away from your polling booth and early voting if it i s m o re c convenient. No need to explain why. Keep the right for democracy .
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.
The best conversation I am aware of about malpractice by SCOTUS, its corruption, and the operations surrounding the issues. Thank you for digging into this swamp, your work is of utmost importance for the survival of US democracy!
Senator Whitehouse has his own TH-cam 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.
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. Let’s get this done now. Thanks for your excellent analysis!

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! 💦
Love Whitehouse, but how naïve can we be. It was obvious the whole time what the court was going to do. Come on!! Its time to realize what we are dealing with already. Stop expecting logic from this court!!!

Yup, with money you can buy stuff. We just shouldn't be able to buy Supreme Court Justices. Keep fighting Sen. Whitehouse and Mr. Elias. Thank you both for doing what you do.
It sure is reassuring to hear someone actively participate rather than just saying thanks. Too many of us act like this is some spectator sport and we hope our side wins! They can't do this all alone..so please stop with the thanks! Find out what we can do to help! For starters...contact your congress person and let them know what is expected. Demand accountability!
I was a SCOTUS geek, but then a seat was stolen in 2016. I have been disappointed since. I, at least believed, Roberts had some integrity, but I was wrong. Thank you for talking about this.
@@MaileAnthopoulosNo... It isn't a theory, the SCOTUS has made a "King" of the POTUS by giving him complete immunity for ANY & ALL "official acts" (a concept which is conspicuously MISSING from the Constitution)... They also have him 'presumed' immunity for another category of acts also absent from the Constitution which they also failed or declined to explain or define. Furthermore, they have also put themselves decisively ABOVE the LAW by refusing to follow the ethics rules and standards that apply to all the members of every other court in the US! This is stunning!
What Democracy Docket and Senator Whitehouse are doing, explaining what the original philosophical circumstances are and how they are constituted in judicial formats to be educational resources, that is why election issues are identified for the jury of "the people". Thank you for demonstrated attention to duty.
Ok. For SC: 1. Add 4 Justices. 2. Term limits. 3. Ethics rules. 4. No dark $. 5. Keep talking + Put findings in Public domain. 6. Only true cases (Not made up) in SC. 7. Hold Justices accountable. Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it.
Such an informative discussion from Senator Whitehouse (whom I love!) and The Marvelous Mr.Elias. Wouldn’t be such a wonderful world if people big and small had their ethics and mores? Thanks ever so much, gentleman!
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!
Being educated, articulate, experienced, contextually aware, vigilant for his constituents and bravely action oriented, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is a much-needed champion for sustaining the best interests of all peoples' lives.
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.

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 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
Thank you both so much for all you do.
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. 🤔
Grateful for you Senator Whitehouse Thank you
Thank you SOoooo much for this broadcast! It was very educational about the problems with our SC & politics. Mark & Sheldon have been my heroes fir a long time, fighting the good fight every day!🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍
Senator Whitehouse explained what I've been anxious about for years. Dems have been slow at recognizing or even acknowledging whar is going on. I stopped trusting the court when Roberts was appointed to SCOTUS. I was alarmed when Thomas was confirmed! Half the polulation was disrespected with his choice and it's been down hill ever since.
The Election Board Didn't Listen To Ms. Anita Hill When Appointing Thomas To The SCOTUS!!
Yes, Roberts has been undermining our voting rights since the 1980s!
Those -fake-case appeals" are kind of like "wagging-the-dog". Thank you Marc and Senator Whitehouse for all of your work on revealing the corruption in SCOTUS.
Absolutely love the work you are doing for the sake of our democracy and LOVE Senator Whitehouse's series on SCOTUS corruption. Thank you!
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.
@@knowbody5292 EXACTLY!!
I'm a British/Australian who lived in the US for 15 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.
Excellent conversation!
The Justice should be a well studied and learned person. I would expect they worked hard, an enjoyed gathering knowledge and doing their Job. I believe and regular Person, being a Member of SCOTUS would have a good life. They would he able to enjoy their Family and everything. Why would a Judge need to break the laws? I think Clarence Thomas likes to do harm, that is his goal.
Thank you for caring about our country and the average American citizen
Save the thanks. They need our help...they can't do this alone!
The question is...what are we willing to do?
WOW! THIS is an eye-opening discussion! I had NO clue how twisted this situation has become. Thank you, Hon. Whitehouse & Esq. Elias for the deep education. 🧐
Thank you Marc Elias and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for fighting for OUR Democracy in real time.VOTE BLUE
Sheldon whitehouse is the best 💙
Sheldon Whitehouse is an exemplary elected official.
We vote for our officials to go to D. C. to speak on OUR behalf & to monitor what is going on in OUR government to make sure it remains to OUR benefit. Senator Whitehouse has kept to his oath of office & REMAINS OUR surrogate in D. C. Bravo, Dear Sir, Bravo!

@@markg.7865 Agree, Same Here!!
So important , don't stay at home on polling day. Here in Australia wr have voting on Saturday from 8am to 8pm. We have absentee voting if you are away from your polling booth and early voting if it i s m o re c convenient. No need to explain why. Keep the right for democracy .
Many states allow, no excuse early voting. You can go into your county seat and vote early...so why not vote early, don't need to wait in lines!
Senator Whitehouse SHOULD be our new Attorney General!
Yes replace Garland
@@nedkent5239 Glenn Kirshner for Attourney General
I would like to see a new congress bring SCOTUS reform and Mr. White house at the helm to dismantle these corrupt judges and their handlers.
The people need transparency expose the oligarchs, before they dismantle our democracy.
good idea!
BOTH presenters -- simply excellent‼️
I could happily listen to several more hours from either or both. Thank you.
Love you two. Some of the best. Stay righteous, we NEED you!!!! 💙💙💙💙
Agree! Thanks
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.
Thank you both for educating a regular citizen like myself.
THIS is why we must share Sen. Whitehouse's splendid video essays -- which present, beautifully, how this stinking, CRUCIAL Court was captured.
The best conversation I am aware of about malpractice by SCOTUS, its corruption, and the operations surrounding the issues. Thank you for digging into this swamp, your work is of utmost importance for the survival of US democracy!
Senator Whitehouse has his own TH-cam 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.
Go Sheldon! Thanks for your efforts.
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.
Let’s get this done now.
Thanks for your excellent analysis!

As a nurse, we were not supposed to accept gifts of any sort. We could accept a box of chocoltes or cookies that were left for the unit.
And the Scotus can accept hundreds of thousands in gifts and bribes.
Should be totally Illegal,,.x.x.x.x
Oh, I love Senator Whitehouse! I've learned So much from him the past few years. He and Marc are fighting for Americans and we all appreciate it.
Excellent discussion. I hope Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's doctrine gets through. Thank you.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for POTUS
I s Senators Whitehouse a Practising Lawyer?
I’ve thought the same for years!
Clean house: Put Whitehouse in the White House!
@@Jack45OG Catchy, but I don't think he has presidential ambitions.
@@laurie113 He's been a US Attorney, and RI State AG. Do you mean does he have a private law firm? No, I don't believe so. But he prefers to make laws, to legislate.
Judges should be honorable not dishonest!
Thank you both!
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
Love Whitehouse, but how naïve can we be. It was obvious the whole time what the court was going to do. Come on!! Its time to realize what we are dealing with already. Stop expecting logic from this court!!!
Or common sense, honesty, or integrity!!

Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for your extraordinary effort on behalf of the American people!!!!
Yup, with money you can buy stuff. We just shouldn't be able to buy Supreme Court Justices.
Keep fighting Sen. Whitehouse and Mr. Elias. Thank you both for doing what you do.
Why can't these justices be removed?
Exactly we should not be able to buy justices,

Thank you both!!! I just wrote my Senators to support your bill, Senator!!!

It sure is reassuring to hear someone actively participate rather than just saying thanks. Too many of us act like this is some spectator sport and we hope our side wins!
They can't do this all alone..so please stop with the thanks! Find out what we can do to help! For starters...contact your congress person and let them know what is expected. Demand accountability!
This was so very informative. Thank you Mark!
Thank you for posting!! This is appalling and needs reform NOW. I'll be contacting my Representatives & Senators TODAY.
I was a SCOTUS geek, but then a seat was stolen in 2016. I have been disappointed since. I, at least believed, Roberts had some integrity, but I was wrong. Thank you for talking about this.
We need people like you to keep us on track toward reform.
@@d.f.9064 I needed to hear that. Thank you.❤️
an exceptional conversation grounded in fact. tyvm.
No one is above the law.
Lol. If only
No one use to be before we aquired this joke of a supreme court
In theory
@@MaileAnthopoulosNo... It isn't a theory, the SCOTUS has made a "King" of the POTUS by giving him complete immunity for ANY & ALL "official acts" (a concept which is conspicuously MISSING from the Constitution)...
They also have him 'presumed' immunity for another category of acts also absent from the Constitution which they also failed or declined to explain or define.
Furthermore, they have also put themselves decisively ABOVE the LAW by refusing to follow the ethics rules and standards that apply to all the members of every other court in the US!
This is stunning!
I’m not sure about that anymore.

I really don’t understand why you call them conservatives I called them treasonous.
What Democracy Docket and Senator Whitehouse are doing, explaining what the original philosophical circumstances are and how they are constituted in judicial formats to be educational resources, that is why election issues are identified for the jury of "the people".
Thank you for demonstrated attention to duty.
Love Sheldon Whitehouse.
A patriot with patience and a truthteller.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse and Democracy Docket
Thank you for the update

Ok.
For SC:
1. Add 4 Justices.

3. Ethics rules.
4. No dark $.
5. Keep talking +
Put findings in
Public domain.
6. Only true cases
(Not made up) in
SC.
7. Hold Justices
accountable.
Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it.
I love this plan!!!

Thank you Sheldon Whitehouse for your Service in the Government - You are a True Patriot !
Such an informative discussion from Senator Whitehouse (whom I love!) and The Marvelous Mr.Elias. Wouldn’t be such a wonderful world if people big and small had their ethics and mores? Thanks ever so much, gentleman!
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!
This story is astounding and needs more exposure.
Thank you senator for clarifying what has been going on for years
Being educated, articulate, experienced, contextually aware, vigilant for his constituents and bravely action oriented, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is a much-needed champion for sustaining the best interests of all peoples' lives.
Thank you so much Mark Elias, Sheldon Whitehouse and Glenn Kirschner! You are very honest and brilliant men!
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.
Thank you for having senator Whitehouse on your channel.
Thanks for all that you do to call this criminal behavior out.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
