Sen. Whitehouse and Nicolle Wallace Dig Deep into the Supreme Court's Ethics Crisis

June 5 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins MSNBC's Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace to break down the Supreme Court's ethics crisis.

@@stevenewton6720 You should spend some time educating yourself, maybe Google would be your easiest route...lol. Democracy is not a colloquial term for "corruption" and the tacit implication is even idiotic. Living in a Constitutional Republic, as we do, does not mean we also do not have a Democracy. It's amusing to me that some years ago this began, almost as a meme, and how parrots just mimic the talking points of rt. wing personalities.

Remember the millions of American kids-students who had researched and won rights at the Paris Accord 2015. The Environmental Accord. The pp45- previousPresident45 removed USA from that crucial Accord. 192 countries, their youth, kids-students were there also. They had all worked hard for platforms, projects, solutions. Established international friendships. Their Citizenship work and environmental insightfulness were removed. They're smart. They turned Eighteen and voted. Helped win the 2020 and midterm. There are more now, with families and friends. It's their future. More work can be accomplished soon. The rePUB's were sure their sheer number would win, Electoral College shenanigans too. They forgot about other groups.

[@menudobucket9837]

If Congress doesn’t have the authority to force the SCOTUS to establish a code of ethics and/or conduct, then there’s something that’s seriously wrong with our so-called democracy!

[@elzrccvi]

Strongly agree. The SCOTUS are not seated on Mount Olympus among the gods and above the Congress and the Executive Branch. The Constitution clearly places all Power in the People when they assign the power to govern. We are a Government ". . .of the People, by the People and for the People". Although the three branches of governance are equal in power, only one speaks for the People as our elected Representatives and that is Congress. Just as the SCOTUS, on the basis of the Constitution, can rule on laws passed by Congress in the name of the People (in whom all Power is vested), so can the People require accountability through our Congress, of each Justice for their conduct on the the bench, even though the Court decisions may stand. Requiring ethical accountability of individual Justices' behavior does not interfere with SCOTUS' official decisions made. But requiring ethical standards and behavior of individual Justices' is perfectly in order and within the role ofc the Congress as the voice of the People. If the President and Chief Executive can be held accountable to the People through their Congressional Representatives, then in a similar way, so can Supreme Court Justicies be held accountable to the People's Representatives in Congress for their ethical standards or lack of them. This is precisely what is meant by "The Checks and Balance of Power" principle established in the Constitution. Further, we the People have not only the Right and the Power to require accountability from each member of the Supreme Court for their ethical standards of conduct, we bear the Responsibility to require it. And by this process through the Congress, we fulfill also our responsibility to maintain the highest level of respect and standards for the Court called Supreme and which is the final place where the Laws of the Congress are either defended as Constitutional or declared Constitutional or declared null and void, as not. Trust and confidence in every branch if Governance is essential to a strong democracy. It is essential, therefore, that the People fulfill our responsibility through our Congress to maintain self respect as the People. Our democracy survived the Nixon crisis because we had a strong Congress who fulfilled its responsibility and required accountability for his behavior as head of the Executive Branch. It can withstand this SCOTUS crisis, as well. But everything depends on a strong Congressional voice for Ethical Standards at least equal to those of all Federal Justicies. That we insist the Congress do so is our immediate and solemn responsibility.

[@robfalter2522]

can the supreme court do the same to congress?

[@tickledhorse]

How does that work with a corrupt congress?

[@J.M.-nb4gw]

​@@robfalter2522 no, Congress is supposed to hold itself accountable, they can pass laws on corruption plus they have oversight committees to do investigations. The Supreme Court has none of those internal mechanisms to control their corrupt unelected a-holes 🤬

The corrupt ones need to stand down and be investigated immediately and many of them are part of the coup against our country. Blatantly obvious too much power goes to men's heads. When I heard a journalist describe that Thomas was told to be quite and not make waves, just be a "potted plant" on the court...we now know that "plants" all over our nation's governance is what the thuglican party has installed since reagan. And here we are...But it is actually a good thing as it is all being revealed. The deeper these stories go, the more disgusting the stench of greed and power. We must be strong and witness this and then make changes so thugs and narcissists can never rise to these levels again. And that propaganda machines like fox, trump, and all the other brainwash indoctrinators are not allowed to taint our 1st Amendment via authoritarian tactics.

[@penelopesimpsonadams624]

Actually, when the white colonials immigrated onto this continent, they committed heinous acts against the native peoples, and later human trafficked people from the African continent. All for greed and prosperity. I am not sure we should be PROUD, but maybe experience humility of what happened by our ancestors to make our country so "great." The superiority and greed they conducted does not need to make us feel guilty, it needs to make us understand what happened in our real history and vow to NEVER repeat it again. Superiority and enslavement are not Equality. We still are a Great Experiment that is in need of a lot of work. This is our time as it is all unraveling to re-create, and repair our country to how we all want to live and be treated-with respect, decency and participation in our democracy. Which means our people have been dumbed down by the elites because then we are easier to control. Americans need critical new skills and truth in our education from kindergarten on up which we can see is the antithesis of the republican terrorist party's goals for America. We need to get to work to reveal and repeal all their intentional dark roots that are choking what could be a truly great country.

He's also _righteously dogged in his investigative pursuits_ notably his current series on SCOTUS he calls *The Scheme* which is monumental in its breadth and depth (so, props to his staff also). There is this question though: given the capture of SCOTUS and both sides of government by increasingly unfettered plutocrats one would also have to ask where he gets his political donations from, no?

I see two people in front of me in this clip who are VERY DAMN GOOD at their jobs. Tons of respect for these two fantastic people. Thank you, Nicolle, for being an A+ journalist (from a lifelong journalist), and thank you Senator Whitehouse for fighting the good fight relentlessly and with all the facts brought to bear.

[@nakedreef]

*VERY* well said!!! Thanks for posting.

[@diannadima7082]

Mr. Whitehouse I thank you for all your efforts you have put forth on the behalf of the American people. Please don't stop. This court needs to clean house of all their illegal actions and bias to the MAGA party.

Alito: My wife did it... Thomas: Whoa! Let's not drag our wives into this thing!!!

[@AnnieHedges]

They think the American people are all stupid, and that they can do anything they want

[@caseycarson5330]

Thank you Sen. Whitehouse ...showing your usual showing of courage in this day and age, Thanks for having our back!

[@brandex2011]

Make no mistake, I'm pro-Joe, but ironically, his defense of Thomas against Anita Hill is one reason Clarence is on the court at all.

[@marywallace4086]

I feel sure that Joe has a few regrets, with Thomas being at the top but, overall his decisions have been wise.

[@user-nk7ce3nz1q]

He has said that he wished he could have found a better way to treat Anita Hill. When that travesty of a hearing HE WAS LEADING was going on, a delegation of Congress women, led by Representative Pat Schroeder, went to the Senate to try to help him out with that. He REFUSED to even meet with them. He has always thought that he knows better than anyone else, he's the only one who can do things. His ridiculously misplaced confidence and arrogance have always been a problem.

[@angelabennett8245]

Do you realize how long ago that happened? The justice system decided that women lie, and men tell the truth. Police today think that women are why prostitution is still going on even though men still pay for it. Men will always be good and women will always be pure evil.

Nice try bub, NO cigar.

[@donnashankie4526]

Very true. He told me at the time that we needed to go to war in Iraq because of the Weapons of Mass Destruction found there. I protested that the UN Inspectors couldn't find any and he said wait and see. 200,000 civilians and, 6,000 American troops were killed in that "war" that America started.

[@lorraine7056]

I've always respeted Sen. Whitehouse, and even more so now. My birth State is RI, and they're lucky to have him!!

[@williamschrom1584]

It's more than sad that more than a few justices ⚖️ have lost their honor.

[@nakedreef]

I've thought about this, and you know, I realized that they Never Had any Honor to begin with. People with true honor, do NOT take bribes & don't have conflicts of interest. Period.

[@dm-31024]

Nicole Wallace is a thoughtful person. She has described the problem very well at this point. 10:50 And how deeply bad it is.😢

[@SashaCoCo]

Americans are blessed to have you! Thank you.

[@user-vs3bz3yy4l]

Senator thank you for so hard working for us ~ we know this cannot be easy and we appreciate you

[@SirNose687]

Reform the Supreme Court

[@SirNose687]

NOW!!

[@mljones655]

Expand the SC to at least 13 Justices, one for each district.

[@user-rc6dx2li9r]

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse is a man America needs right now. I commend him for his integrity!!

[@clarencethierry2402]

First off I'd like to thank God for Sheldon Whitehouse, Jami Raskin, and Adam Shift. I pray they can get a handle on this dark money ,and this corrupt Supreme Court.

[@iadorenewyork1]

I agree! / *Jamie Raskin / *Adam Schiff

[@deannaking1131]

Thank you Senator White House

[@Justforlaugh22854]

Thank you for all your hard work, Senator Whitehouse!

[@kaypahl8876]

Thank you Center, Whitehouse,

[@patriciacullen9493]

Dang! I LOVE this man - he is so sharp and dogged ❤

[@panl22]

I wonder, how can they represent the law when they OPENLY break the same law themselves?

[@earthsystem]

That's a good point. They cannot uphold the law when they are breaking the law themselves.

[@chrisblake8798]

That's because trump and the repukes pay them off it always comes down to the almighty dollar

[@billhemingway5558]

thank you Senator for your service.
