Money and bribes should not control the court system. Step down clown!
Imagine that
Republicans have turned the Supreme court into a putin type oligarchy, why they like the war criminal so much…they all want a fleet of yachts worth more than our navy just like russia…harlan crow probably just added a putin dictator statue to his garden of evil as he pays for Thomas's mothers house so she can live for free
There's a reason why Senator Whitehouse emphasised "bad behavior". There's a part worth reading from the US Constitution.
"Article 3.
Section 1
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
They are not appointed for life. All, all Federal Judgeships are valid "during good Behavior".
Prison for Thomas!!
This is what happens when you have a lifetime seat, no ethics and zero oversight. Once a person gets unlimited power, they usually become very corrupt. This is why we need term limits…….. Will term limits ever happen? Probably not, cuz this is exactly what a sociopath wants.
Congress makes the laws…the Supreme Court merely interprets them. Make more laws governing the behavior of the Supreme Court!! Impeach Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavenaugh!
Is any judge that thinks an airplane is a "facility" be qualified to interpret our laws for the rest of the people?? He doesn't even understand Websters dictionary!!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for calling out these bought and owned criminals in the Supreme Court. Both Thomas and Alito should rot in prison for the rest of their lives for what they have done to this court, the highest court in the land, the rule of law, and the people, WE THE PEOPLE. Alito and Thomas are crooked to the core, and traitors of America. IMPEACH and LOCK THEM UP!!!!
It’s the crazy Christian’s that want to control Americans…separate the church and state…
We have a problem of Judges – who are "assumed" to be incorruptible – accepting money from people involved in cases they rule on, and overseers being too reluctant to take them to account. While it's true that this is something we haven't faced before, it doesn't make it any less corrupt. Time to Step Up!
While investigating the Supreme court expand to law makers too. Republicans are fighting for the wealthy for nothing. They shouldn't be millionaire either
Corruption in the red party bribery. Great. Criminal activity must be called out. This court needs to be replaced by atheists. Keep church and state separate. Jurors in trumps court cases must be people who have no political opinions. Just look at the laws. Clearly. Common sense. That's what our country needs. Bubbleheads must be put away for the important business of their jobs. Unfortunately they're not doing any work. Just stupid unproven lies. Innuendo. These people are mentally 14 years old. Gossip queens and liars complete.
when are we going to throw the bum out?
Anita Hill told the truth. pigman
Thank You Senator Whitehouse ❤🕊️💙
We Need To Make An Example Out Of All These GOP Justices And Lock Them Up & Make Them Forfeit All Assets Before Going To Prison & Same Goes For Their Corrupt Benefactors
stupid claim
Nauseating
If Joy Reid is saying it, you know it aint so.
What would happen if, on a rotating basis, every x number of years, each supreme court justice had to defend themselves as they did in their confirmation hearings?
it is not "like" an oligarchy. it IS an oligarchy.
Sheldon Whitehouse is a googlyeyed joke. The idea of either the House or Senate knowing what a code of conduct would look like is a joke. Whitehouse should crawl back into the slums of Providence where he belongs.
On top of the billionaires influencing the Supreme Court, we also have Russian, Chinese and Ukrainian Billionaires influencing the Bidens with millions and millions of dollars in bribes.
Talk about calling the kettle black?… smh
It influenced everything!! Look how government agencies came to be… someone paid to convince people that they needed it.
Mr.whitehouse doesn't look to happy at at…😮
CT is a piece of most toxic trash occupying the high place of this sacred land!!! Ouch!!!
Our founding fathers, if alive, would cry a river…. 😂😂😂
He needs to go….. a w a y … s o o o o n …….
“Dark Money” for Congress needs to go away too….
Where is the investigation into the members of congress?
I bet there is Lots of fraudulent police reports in that city against the American citizens!
Look she can talk all day long, and who ever I vote for, is going to impeach Clarance Thomas and make him boat restitution.
