Oh, poor Lindsey! Ethics in the HIGHEST court in the nation -- in the FACE of blatant unethical, improper influence AT the court!!!?? Gee...how "picky", huh, Lindsey??
It's clear THE SCOTUS compromised. In light of the influence ofRussian propaganda, Dark money, voter repression it seems to me THE U.S. has become far from great..
Thank you Senator Whitehouse....Your strength, clear voice, ethics, is noted and appreciated...How lucky we are to have you as our Senator....L. Martin
Why does it surprise ANYONE that that is how Republicans are responding to the issue of unethical Supreme Court Justices. It's too late for Repubs to hide what's going on. We KNOW what's happening & am appalled.
Rule of Law! Those that enforce the law must be held to a higher standard than most, and especially the Supreme court. The grift continues with no consequenches!

graham is a JOKE! & doesn’t have the right to be getting paid for his foolishness. Or PAY HIM $1. Just as mtgreene said another senator. Fair is fair. But better yet, kick him out, PAY HIM NOTHING!
Good God! I was an engineer in the Dept. Of Defense and for a number of years I served on source selection boards, served as design, construction and general engineering department head; that's not a high position in the scheme of things yet I was required to file financial disclosures about my wife and myselfe. I was forbidden from taking even a simple bottle of wine at Christmas, or any other time, from outside sources. To have done so would have certainly meant removal from my position and most likely from government service completely. Had I take any of the things mentioned as being gifted to the Court, I could have well been looking at jail time. It's about time to be hard ass with anyone in government but especially the higher members of any of the Executive, Legislative and JUDICIAL branches.
He needs to stay in the Senate. He wouldn't have had the time to do all of his tireless investigation into all of this. He's been doing in for years. Yes, he could order someone to do it if he were President, bit SW is the best at it I ❤ Sheldon Whitehouse and can understand wanting him to run for President. I just think he's a badly needed fireball in the Senate.
Not everyone is on the take. Slander is not part of Free Speech in America. We are innocent until proven guilty. The media needs to wait for information before speculating the outcome.
WOW. Senator Whitehouse stated something I didn't know: that there is a panel or board of judges who oversee the Supreme Court. There is someone who can tell them, "Enough is enough!" May they do so soon.
A knight in shining Whitehouse. A silver shield and a sword for Democracy. OK to many video games, but it's awesome to see Democracy at work. Gives me hope:)
Wish he could but we need him in the Senate. If we get a RePuklican to add to the nonsense it'll be worse. Nothing would work for the people only for the big donors would benefit.
Typical republican starting spewing negatively before the meeting starts. It's no wonder they accomplish anything that matters. This is extremely important, yet Lyndsay Graham apparently believes the SCOTUS is untouchable like his pal Donald Trump with 91 felony charges. Hey Lyndsay #AccuntabilityMatters
I loved the Supreme Court’s statement that they simply codified the unwritten rules they were already following. Translation: We’ve written it so we can continue the grift. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣 They think we’re all fools…
Innocent until proven guilty. Be careful not to frame someone for crimes they didn't commit. When my friends invited me on a trip it was because they enjoyed my company.
You paid your own way on another person's private yacht? Or staying in a privately owned cabin? If you have rich friends then you are a guest on their own property. @@bumper2633
If SCOTUS thinks it isn't doing anything improper, corrupt, or illegal, then it shouldn't object to abiding by the same ethics rules required of EVERY OTHER JUDGE IN AMERICA. SCOTUS must be made to meet the same ethical rules as the rest of our judicial system!
Bank employees cannot accept any gift over $25. The gifts these judges have accepted are beyond the pale. Making them accountable is common sense considering what’s at stake.
USA is battling corruption but we still have the covenant with God through Jesus Christ. We still have new candidates stepping up for government offices in 2024.
If Lindsey Graham thanks for they haven't been bringing us a shit show he's sadly mistaken! We will show him a shit show like he's never seen before when all of us vote blue all the way up and down the ballot!
Vote blue all the time now. For at least a decade we must suppress fascism and corruption in high places. Red votes are great... in another time and place. Stand for democracy and decency!
As an Australian spectator to the freak show in America, one thing I really don't understand is this whole concept of a Supreme Court comprising "Republican judges" and "Democrat judges." In Australia we have a similar court, called the "High Court." It has judges. Non-partisan judges, and they don't waste their time undoing earlier judgments just because they don't like them. The idea that really significant issues can be decided by a handful of people in funny robes rather than by a nationwide democratic vote is totally incomprehensible, if not downright obscene. Why have a Constitution when you have a Supreme Court that can make a mockery of it any time it feels like it?
It should be set at least where other justices standards are set. Their standards should be higher than all other justices. If they can't handle that then they need not serve because SERVICE is the key to a just Justice not money seeking or savings nor political nor religious ideology.
Insightful as usual. What is the GOP thinking? They’ve met women right? Like 50% of the population might want a say? Relieved it’s keeping them out of office.
No. Without Leonard Leo and his Federalist Society list of approved extremist candidates, they wouldn’t even BE justices. There are better conservative judges out there.
George Soros the Hungarian Billionaire immigrant is Biden’s and the Democratic Party’s Puppet Master and Dictator. The Biden Administration and the Federal Government are Riddled with George Soros Incompetent minions. How Pathetic the Hungarian Billionaire immigrant is using the Democratic Party to Divide the United States 🇺🇸. Pure ignorance.
I have one problem with this new Code of Conduct... WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR PUNISHMENT? TRANSPARENCY IS USELESS IF THERE'S NO PUNISHMENT TO THE CRIME... So, according to the New Code of Conduct, the Supreme Court Judges can continue to accept EXPENSIVE GIFTS from any one as long as they disclose those Gifts, but they won't be Charge of any Crime or Ethic's issue... 😠 SO, SUPREME COURT JUDGES ARE TRULY ABOVE THE LAW... 😠
What really infuriates me is that if they had only reported these "gifts" at the time each occurred, there would be no problem. So, as long as they report that they received hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts, it wouldn't matter that they received hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts. In other words, we as ordinary citizens wouldn't recognize the out and out purchase of our SCOTUS by billionaires as something that places all of the 300 plus million of us at extreme disadvantage compared to the few dozen billionaires who have our SCOTUS on their speed dial. Leonard Leo and his pals paid Alito and Thomas and Barrett and Kavanaugh and Gorsuch to yank the constitutional right to an abortion or other reproductive health care from 50% of our population. Forget this garbage that there is any such thing as an innocent gift. I want to see enshrined in the law that NO dollar amount of gifts be allowed. The SCOTUS should learn to live on their salaries. Just like the rest of us! Afterall, Their salaries paid for out of the salaries of us mere taxpayers are already well above that of us mere taxpayers. If that doesn't work for them...well they can always resign and hit the streets looking for a job in the private sector.
Some of them that you mentioned were the same ones That overturned citizen United That we need to repel ! Sick and tired of The greedy corporations And the corporate run media that you can't trust!!
It's absolutely amazing that SCOTUS suddenly created an ethics code only after the senate was in the process of subpoena the political donors giving scotus justices huge gifts that they didn't report.
The millionaire is a broker, he receives money from the person involved, keeps a percentage and gives the rest to Alito or Thomas. That's why you'll not find decisions connected directly to the Sugar Daddy, he works for other millionaires as a middle man
I often comment on ur SCOTUS vids with a skeptical bent. This one was far more inclusive of the impact of free flowing cash/gifts (AKA bribes) of both justices & the pols that made them so. Keep it up this important work. You mentioned possible criminality. I'd like to hear more about that issue and that any consequences will mirror those of any other american. And how America will manage any SCOTUS votes linked to this outside influence.
Thank you Rhode Island and Senator Whitehouse
Grateful for the integrity and focus of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
Sheldon Whitehouse is making his fellow senators look like they’re going in reverse. He get it done !💙💙💙

Empeach them
Thank you for the concise presentation 🙏
90 amendments to a Subpoena? That’s
90 Republican congressman who are getting paid kickbacks from Leonard, Leo and or Harlan Crow!!
Probably as much as the justices.
There's only 49 repubs
Campaign donations and speaking fees and "gifts".
From all of the donors; not one more than the other!!!!
Hey is Harlan Crow RELATED to Jim Crow?
Gram is in the Senate for him self. He needs to be impeached!!!!!
He needs to be primaried.

Alito must be really proud of the total lack of respect the country has for him.
They're in their own bubble.
He doesn't care about his image, because money is the only thing that Republikkkans live for!😮😊
He lives in fantasy land, and should be removed from the bench.
He doesn't need it. The Supreme Court is not a popularity contest.
Yes he must be crying all the way to the bank on a daily basis
Have no fear Jack Smith & Sen. Whitehouse are here! Because Justice Matters!!
Yeah, we know. Kurshner right?
Justice does matter to the Democrats. The gop tribe do not believe in the rule of law. They have yet to do any work this term.
Lol, that's my least favorite part of his intro.
@@massivemindmeat I love it!
If Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas lose their seats on the U.S. Supreme Court , they'll have no one to blame but themselves.
They are in there for life.
Impeach them. It can be done.
Absolutely
If the Democrats win a super majority impeachment of corrupt judges and, or expand the court to 13. Or both!
Resign! Corruption in the court is over! Get Out!
Thank you senator Whitehouse you're true America 🇺🇸 😊
Remember no self-respecting Republican wants accountability transparency or truth

Resisting to make the Supreme Court accountable tells anyone with a brain everything one needs to know about the Right.
