Hope you read my other post, important.
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.
@@missvic659You only have ONE Comment, we can see by clicking on your picture, so why ask us to read your OTHER COMMENT 🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️
20:19
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. 😉
Rhode Islanders are proud of you, Senator Whitehouse. Thanks for digging into these critical issues at this critical time. VOTE 💙
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.
Heard of Pucasso's money to speech painting? No. Coz it don't exist
😮¿????????@@EdmondDantesLives
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. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
THEY, THE REPUBLICANS, HAVE TO S-T-O-P TAKING FROM THE WORKING POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS AND "GIVING" TO THE RICH. WE SEEM TO TAKE 3 STEPS FORWARD, AND 6 STEPS BACK. WE NEVER CAN SEEM TO GET AHEAD, OR BUY A BETTER CAR, OR BUY OUR FIRST HOUSE. GIVE US A BREAK.
Dump-45's "deep state" = "dark money."
They haven’t done anything. They’ve only exposed facts. No solutions only proposals.
Face it! These guys won't be able to do anything but complain. So far nothing good has happened and nothing good will. I'm a realist. I know better.
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???
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.
You are a few true American heroes. And I’m grateful.
Thank you Mark and Senator Whitehouse for what you do for democracy
Mark is an incredible man, his legacy will be upholding justice and democracy for all Americans.
they are idiots
THANK YOU!!!!!!
THIS!!!
@@nikolaipersad4098 HE IS AN IDIOT
Senator you are brilliant, hard working and ripe with integrity. I thank you!
Great! Since he is a Democrat and since he backed Bidens agenda and since Rhode Island is a blue state...you won't mind if Trump and Tom Holman ship a few million migrants to Rhode Island, right?
That'll be great. And thanks from the red states!
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?
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. . .
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
Thank You Senator Whitehouse and Mark Elias. Because of you two I can still hope.
They need our support in this battle...save the thanks for your birthday gifts! What is it we can do to help? Our country is coming apart!
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!
Glenn is my pick for AG.
Thank God for your work and dedication to these issues Senator Whitehouse. You single handedly may save our Nation!
Please! What are you willing to do?
Please invite Senator Whitehouse regularly, you make a very compelling team
YES! Please!
Yes!!!!
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!
Constitutional scholars need to be added to the Supreme Court.
Yes - Prof Tribe!
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!!
Thank you both so much for all you do.
We love our own Whitehouse! ❤
Well it’s about to be destroyed for a NO PARTY RIGHTS

Vote blue 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028.
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.
Impeaching them with the full force of a Democratic controlled House and Senate would DO IT as they say....
It’s not only Justices. Watch from 5:40.
Its hard to remove people like Ketanji and Soto. But yes you can impeach them.
YES 👏
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.
Excellent reporting!! Love your podcast . VOTE BLUE!!!💙💙💙
See you in the midterms
Grateful for you Senator Whitehouse Thank you
Senator Whitehouse proves someone in Congress is actually working on behalf of the vast majority.

Vast majority? Lol!

@@Reflectiveness all cases heard before judges who did not recluse should be cancelled out. And reheard.

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.

Thank you both!
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. 🤔

This was so very informative. Thank you Mark!
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?
Thank you Marc and Sen. Whitehouse for all of your hard work.
an exceptional conversation grounded in fact. tyvm.
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.
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!❤

@@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!! 🗳️💙🌊🇺🇸
Great respect for our champions of Democracy. Thank you
Thank You both for all you do! 💙
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.

And they should have to be able to tick boxes on service to the law in several different capacities.
@kathyconway5327 It WOULD be nice if they at the least knew the US Constitution!!
AND absolutely NO gifts, loans that are not in actuality gifts (even to family members), blah-blah - close the loopholes that allow 'buying the judge'.
They need SCOTUS of Code of Ethics
@@WhiteWave88An enforceable code of ethics.
Age limits also!
Judges should be honorable not dishonest!
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.
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.

Thank you for your time and sharing your expert wisdom, Senator Whitehouse and Mark Elias!
At least they have shown their hand. We need to publicise this stuff more, this video is an excellent start, thanks.
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.
Marc Elias is a national treasure as well. These podcasts are so
Informative. I find myself watching them more than once.
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
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.

Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for your extraordinary effort on behalf of the American people!!!!
I have been watching Senator Whitehouse’s presentations in the Senate Chambers on dark money and front groups ever since he started a very long time ago. After years of watching him, I began to wonder why Sheldon Whitehouse years of exposing the obscene Influence of dark money on the courts and politics had not changed one iota. To see Senator Whitehouse being in the spotlight again and with a four-point plan that would expose the fact that all of these dark money keys belong to “the same piano“ gives me a feeling of hope. There is no one in the Senate or in politics for that matter who has the such impeccable character and honesty that Sheldon White House embodies. He sets the highest standard for what all politicians should be like.
We appreciate you Senator Whitehouse!
