The Scheme 24: The Justice Alito Complaint
Вставка

- September 27 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Courts Subcommittee, delivers the twenty-fourth in a series of speeches titled “The Scheme,” exposing the machinations by right-wing donor interests to capture the Supreme Court and achieve through the Court what they cannot through the elected branches of government.
Whitehouse outlines the ethics complaint he submitted earlier this month detailing ethical lapses by Justice Samuel Alito, which support billionaires’ lawyers’ blockade of congressional investigations into other ethical lapses by Alito, and underscore the lack of formal process at the Court for receiving or investigating such complaints.
Wow, You go Senator!! The blatant disregard, for Law, and right, the obvious feeling of entitlement and superiority of these Justices is revolting. They absolutely need investigated and charged, at the least impeached or forced out. Thomas has abused all of us for far too long, Alito probably has too. The whole system must be looked at and reformed. I am glad you are standing up for us Sir. Thank you from me and my family.
We are the public and we deserve prompt and trustworthy answers. The Supreme Court work for us. We deserve answers. Thank you Senator Whitehouse.
Congrats to Senator Whitehouse for not letting these ethics violations slide. Except for the sins of Trump that threaten our democracy, the corruption of Justice Thomas and Alito and their brazen finger to any congressional oversight should be front and center to the public.
I was visiting the comments here and most likely would have dropped a comment. However, after reading your concise and on-point observations just a big thumbs up on your comment will do just fine. Thanks
The chief justice, by stonewalling any congressional inquiry into the blatant corruption revealed by ProPublica, contributes mightily to the overall decline of the court.
@healthyself345 - What Democracy? The USA IS A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. The Democracy we were taught in schools is the Devil's playground. It's the basis for The New World Order that's being forced upon us all to throw us off the cliff asap.
Except they DIDN'T let that slide, those that actually cared did something about it. Those that were treasonous scum did everything in their power to avoid punishment and demonize those that want to. We still have a long way to go to bring everyone to justice but we are getting there. Never thought I'd be alive for a former us president inciting a violent coup because they didn't win and never thought there'd be this many maga morons that would follow them though in the end I'm not surprised I guess.
Thank you for saying nicely what I want to say, but this site is not the place for language that would get me thrown out of a bikers bar!
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! We need to do something about the corrupt court! They are supposed to work for the people, but it's obvious, they are not! Disgusting!
@inalike1789 - I agree with you about the Corrupt Courts including the Highest Supreme Court of the Country. However, I don't quite comprehend exactly what you're thanking Senator Whitehouse for. All I see him do is WOLLOWING IN THE MUD IN THE PIG'S PEN OF THE KHAZARIAN MAFIA THAT WE HAVE AS THE RULE OF LAWS. He said it himself that "THERE ARE SOME CASES THAT CANNOT BE PROSECUTED, IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS." Well I'll say that if some cases can't be prosecuted and SEALED as STATE SECRETS then he's not working for We The People. Unfortunately, the Courts all around the world have become a Collection Agency for what I call the EVIL, CENTRALIZED, MALIGNANT, NARCISSIST AND PSYCHOPATH ORGANIZED CRIMINAL BANKING CARTEL.
Beautifully clear and complete! Wishing there were more Senators like Whitehouse! Whitehouse for President!!
Never give up, Senator Whitehouse!!!
We the people want him investigated and others in the White House that also choose not too follow the laws of a America. 🇺🇸 Thank you again senator White House your doing a amazing job.
Thank You Senator Whitehouse!
Thank you for the education & transparency we the people want & deserve! You are a true patriot! ❤
Thank you, Senator. we need the facts more now than ever before our democracy depends upon it. I support you 100%. 😮
Thank you Senator Whitehouse and staff for your work. The dictator court justices should not have supreme authority over congress and the president. Don't stop working on passing legislation for a code of ethics implemented on the Supreme Court Justices. The only reason for lifetime seating is so the Supreme Court Justices are not influenced politically, religiously or by special interest and as all can see that has not been the case in a long time. The lifetime seating needs to end and term limits and a code of ethics must be implemented for Supreme Court justices and federal judges by Congress. If we think Thomas and Alito are the only bought corrupt Republican appointed Supreme Court justices we are sadly mistaken. The corrupt Supreme Court justices and federal judges must be held accountable when the time comes. This cannot be ignored.
Many, myself included, have thought Senator Whitehouse should run for President. Perhaps instead: Chief Justice of The Supreme Court! He sure knows the file!
He'd make a hell of a good attorney general.
Keep shining a light on the imbalance of justice in our supreme court judiciary. There must be ethics standards that the American people will know that any court finding is unimpeachable. This lack od accountability is a major weakness that can be exploited by any party, foreign or domestic, that can pay for it. I am tired of our country being for sale.
You rock, Senator Whitehouse. You're the best in the nation. Thank you, sir! 👍🏻
Kudos to the good people of Rhode Island, who have sent this fierce defender of the republic to the US Senate.
Thank you Mr. Whitehouse. I wish my state, NV, had a representative like you. We voted and are supposed to have some people up their somewhere. Never see them doing or saying anything though.😔
I enjoy listening to him. He's allowing us to acknowledge how birds of a feather CONSPIRE together in the Supreme Court.
I wish millions were listening to this instead of thousands. If people really wanted truth here is a senator the whole U.S. should be listening to. He should be getting the coverage that trump gets. Thank you Senator Whitehouse.
An Aussie here who listened and was most impressed. It may have been issues related to the US legal system, but it demonstrates the intelligence and dedication that can and should be expected from those who claim to represent the people. Senator Whitehouse has done so magnificently.
Way a go, Senator Whitehouse you are doing a great job for the American people. We all thank you for defending our democracy.
hooray for Sen. Whitehouse.... even a jaded contrarian like me takes heart when I hear him eloquently and poignantly defend the people and the rule of law
@faddarootz - What Rule of Law? Do you mean the KHAZARIAN MAFIA'S Laws. The one we are in as we speak? The one I call the EVIL, CENTRALIZED, MALIGNANT, NARCISSIST AND PSYCHOPATH ORGANIZED CRIMINAL BANKING CARTEL.
It makes sense to hold the highest court accountable and from there on down,cleaning up the corruption your hard work has exposed.Seems faster to hire more judges than wait for confessions. Thank you,sir.🇺🇸💙🌷
💙👍
Brilliantly reasoned and communicated. As a member of the public subject to rulings by the USSC, I feel damaged by the USSC’s and Alito’s obstruction of the Judiciary Committee’s attempts at fact-finding facts which should be transparent for the public good. It is time for the USSC’s charade of absolute unaccountability to end: The bottom line is that they are public servants as much as any other branch of government.
Keep the good work up against the corruption in the Supreme Court, especially those Republicans who lack honesty in the Rule of Law and their relationships with Republican billionaires and millionaires.
Brilliant,Senator!! Clearly the obstructions you describe or even total lack of self- oversight on the Supreme Court must be within the Senate's power to correct,change through legislation. Thank you,Sen. Whitehouse for giving truth a voice in the Senate.
Wow!!!! I Like This Guy. Articulate,Concise And Demanding Integrity, From The Powers That Be.
Blessings And Truth For All.
Thank You Senator Whitehouse
✨🇺🇸✨💙💜💚✨
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Corporate states of Amerca and to the Republicans for which it stands, one nation under debt, easily divisible, with liberty and justice for *Oil.*
@@modemmark421- well manipulated to fit the description of the CONservatives.
@@modemmark421Absolutely brilliant. I want that saying on a shirt period. ❤
Thank you Senator. I wish all of our Senators shared your ethics.
Bravo! Damn! What more can be said? This is why I love this man... God Bless Mr. Whitehouse! : )
Thank you so much Senator Whitehouse!!
Whitehouse gives me hope for our country.
@SenWhitehouse... damn ! You are a gift !! #Alito @WSJ #scotusEthics . " it gets worse". "But wait, there's more". Keep Shining the Light ❤
keep the pressure cooker on high
Steadfast warrior for the people and truth, thank you so much Senator Whitehouse!
Alito Thomas Kavanaugh ! Out.
@@DerekTod-z2oabsolutely 💯 the most corrupted, disgusted and disgrace justices in the history of America.
Go get them. Senator
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for continuing to bring awareness of this appalling situation with our crooked Supreme Court justices
GO SHELDON, PLEASE KEEP PUSHING THESE CRIMINALS.
Corruption at the highest levels needs to be quashed.
Sheldon Whitehouse we need more Senators like him in the Senate and vote out people like Tommey Tupperware and Josh Hawley and the turncoat Sinema.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, for staying with the most important issue of our day- doggedly and brilliantly
Detective Whitehouse constantly dropping truth bombs.
thank god for folks like Senator Whitehouse and Congressman Raskin. True patriots.
Thank you Sen Whitehouse
There is nothing supreme about the Court.
Supremely unethical?Supremely corrupt? Supremely biased?
Supremely cynical? 😊
Thank You, Senator. Let's keep fighting the good fights.
Why the people have so little respect for the supreme court. Corruption and bias prevails
There needs to be a severe house cleaning of all the branches of government if this country is to survive.
This is exactly why the SCOTUS needs major reform. The current court is hopelessly corrupt and illegitimate.
Why are these judges so untouchable? C'mon now, is there no limit to greed and power?
Some of them believe the term "Supreme" gives them _God-like_ powers & authority over all! Since they are "appointed" to their position in a "for life" term, they think they're untouchable. Plus, they're the "final word!"
This brazen self ‘governing’ by the SCOTUS is outraging judges across the United States as they are held to a higher standard of ethics than the highest court in the land.
The American people thank you Senator Whitehouse. We appreciate you being the actual “voice of the people” who represent us! I follow you all the time online so I can restore my faith in our government, which has essentially become a circus. Your work with your staff have “named the pain” and the crimes veiled within the robes of many of the Supreme Court. I have no doubt those Judges so named will soon be fully judged for their unlawful acts.
Senator Whitehouse thank you!
You are on the honest side of history!
Senator Whhitehouse It is refreshing to see somebody cares you are the proverbial “gadfly’ on the unjust, keep up the fine work. Thank you
Cheif Justice should not chair the judicial conference
😢😡😠
Thank you Senator Whitehouse! Your work is appreciated! Fight the good fight!
❤ him. Great work
Thank you so much for standing up for what is right and fair
A real senator with a true patriotic heart. Whitehouse is the real deal. Not many like him.
You're right, and there are none like him on the MAGA Republican side of the Senate.
Him and Katie Porter❤
Thank you again for continuing with this, some of our civil servants have become drunk with power. We need to clarify their job positions with ethics & laws & remind them of what the word servant means.
These are not civil servants. They are political operatives covertly funded, from college to Capitol, by covert billionaire agents striving for oligarchic totalitarianism. So, not civil servants.
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is my new HERO!!!!!!! Thank you for standing up against corruption and for democracy!!!!!!!!!’
Gorsuch, Kabenaughs, Clarence and Ginni are on a yaught drinking and laughing at this right now..
I guess we'll see who gets the last one 🙏🤞👊!
And there’s more…. Senator you are my hero. Such detail and clarity on what’s going on in the corrupt Supreme Court.
Much admiration for Senator Whitehouse's valiant efforts to shine light in the darkness that has overtaken the SCOTUS. May there be impartial, honest, open justice in our highest court and in every branch, layer, level, and dimension of our government(s).
Mr. Justice went to mass, he never missed a Sunday. But Mr. Justice went to hell for what he did on Monday.
These Justices act as though they won the lottery. And thank you Senator.
Yet another home run hit by this great Senator! Bravo
Keep on keeping on, Senator Whitehouse, you remain a beacon of hope!
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse Is A True Statesman!
What an unbelievable shame. Expand the court
We are so FUBAR
The phrase "the appearance of impropriety" has no meaning with these justices. This is sickening.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all the work you do for all of Us💯
Thank you, so very much for all of your hard work.
How in the hell you can impeach the president of the United States but you can't touch the supreme Court how in the hell did that happen get rid of alito Roberts and Uncle Tom
We need more Whitehouses in and around the White House, House, and Senate! He exposes and explains problems so clearly and simply. He is on OUR side. Love him!
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse SHOULD BE THE POTUS! He is brilliant!
I agree 💯
The Senator might of greater service to us in the Senate 💙
I’ve never been able to figure out why this argument is voiced every time a member of Congress, a Governor, etc….. shows their convictions. President of the US demands a very specific list of qualities, and yet for many, any good person SHOULD BE POTUS. Care to explain that odd suggestion?
@@KAMMD. He’s of great service to us right where he is. As POTUS, Sheldon Whitehouse would not be able to investigate and pass judgement so readily as he does not, in the Senate, a body designed for such efforts.
The Arrogance is Astounding
Please don’t give up on this Senator Whitehouse. 9 Supreme Court Justices cannot be allowed to pass judgements for the benefit of a handful of ultra rich billionaires (and certain privileged Supreme Court Justices with life time appointments) that affect more than 300 million Americans- ultimately affecting the entire world. This is outrageous!
Thank you for continuing this fight for justice for all AmerI and and not justice the ultra rich.
whitehouse should be the next president in the White House
Excellent narrative storytelling. What an amazing communicator! Senator Whitehouse is an exemplary Government communicator. Thank you for putting forth this narrative in a manner that is easily understood and documents all the details for now and for posterity.
Can they be Impeached?
Yes- if they had enough votes in the Senate (a supermajority of 60 is needed there), as well as, if we had just a handful more Reps in The House. But - as it stands - it would almost assuredly fail to pass either, unfortunately!
The Supreme Court are suggesting they can do anything they like. I mean anything!
Please please keep investigating, informing and hopefully regulating these corporate batards!
I would love to have Sen. Whitehouse in White House. His integrity and tenacity and intelligence are what we need in government. Thanks, Sen. Whitehouse.
THANK you so much ❤
This is so clear and logical. I only wish the American people had the attention span to absorb it fully. I'm glad he's doing it in installments. Thank you Senator Whitehouse for giving us the hope that faith in government can be restored.
You ARE the greatest person ever for us people. Thank you Senator!
Thank you 🙏
FOR SALE!
The more dedicated to religious beliefs = more susceptibility to selling one’s soul!
Yes! It's worse than I could have imagined. Heads must roll.
A Supreme Court without any oversight is like a day without sun shine - you can’t see what’s happening in the dark.
Thank you sir for your service and diligence in these matters!!!
You are a brave and brilliant man, and I'm not even an American, but if I was I'd be very proud..
I could listen to him all day. Brilliant man.
KEEP UP THE HEAT, SENATOR!
Whitehouse is a treasure
Corruption at any level has to be quashed. If one of the groundskeepers for our local Municipal City Park was accepting gifts for special treatment that in and of itself is neglecting to perform your duties as a public servant and needs to be addressed.
The Senator connected all the dots! Thank you❤
The Attorney General can appoint a special counsel to investigate all of these allegations and suspicions. The Justice Department certainly has the authority to investigate any crime it has reason to suspect.
The proposition that the AG has no such authority is patently ridiculous because, simply stated; if Justice Alito was implicated in a murder for hire conspiracy,(for example), and his conspirators lawyer suggested that he, and his conspirators, are above and beyond investigation that would put all of them, including not only Alito but all of his coconpirators above the law.
And that cannot stand.
I truly thank you. May your work bring results.
Senator Whitehouse you are the statesman our country is so very in need of from all in our congress. Thank you for your work
Alison has a fantastical delusion that he is above and beyond the law. What is his chief colleague, Roberts doing?
Working just as hard as alito to attempt to worm his way out of being held accountable to the American people, so that their gravy train will keep on rolling🤬!
