The Scheme 24: The Justice Alito Complaint

Publicado 2023-09-27
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.

    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.

    Way a go, Senator Whitehouse you are doing a great job for the American people. We all thank you for defending our democracy.

    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!

    You rock, Senator Whitehouse. You're the best in the nation. Thank you, sir! 👍🏻
  • @williamjustus2677
    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.
  • @rrosaseconda
    Beautifully clear and complete! Wishing there were more Senators like Whitehouse! Whitehouse for President!!
  • @emiliog.4432
    A real senator with a true patriotic heart. Whitehouse is the real deal. Not many like him.
  • @patjackson1657
    Many, myself included, have thought Senator Whitehouse should run for President. Perhaps instead: Chief Justice of The Supreme Court! He sure knows the file!
  • @cherylviernes7047
    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.
  • @faddarootz
    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
  • @splifster88
    Thank you Senator. I wish all of our Senators shared your ethics.
  • @kika-ge5qr
    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.🇺🇸💙🌷
  • @BobSoperJr
    Kudos to the good people of Rhode Island, who have sent this fierce defender of the republic to the US Senate.
  • @chriskahl2
    This is exactly why the SCOTUS needs major reform. The current court is hopelessly corrupt and illegitimate.
