August 10 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell discuss ProPublica’s latest bombshell report further exposing the breadth of undisclosed billionaire-funded gifts to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Whitehouse has long been the Senate’s leading voice for improving transparency and accountability at the Supreme Court. Last month, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed Whitehouse’s Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act, legislation that would help restore the American public’s sinking trust in the Supreme Court by fortifying regulations regarding judicial conflicts of interest and recusal. The bill was endorsed by The New York Times editorial board.

it's obvious that Clarence Thomas is on the Court for money and money alone instead of the U.S.A. It's so refreshing to keep in mind that there are still very good people in the world, such as Warren Buffett, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Malcolm Nance, etc., etc.
Whitehouse would make an awesome president. Tell that to his wife too.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!! ⚖️☮️♥️
well…. I want Clarence off SCOTUS but this quote is really taken out of context. We don't do ourselves a favor when we misrepresent the whole truth. He did go on to say that you become a Supreme Court Justice for other reasons… AND I'm over all of the "disclosures " regarding this piece of shit justice because we are stuck with what we have. Elections do have consequences!!
Well Sen Whitehorse it seems thatthe only thing we are getting out off this is that you were right. There is no sense of bringing all this out if there are no consequences. We can all just say yeah the Senator was right!! I think the problem is that you have no authority to do anything about it. Biden does not seem to have no interest in it, neither does the Congress. It appears to me that you are all taking bribes from these Billionaires. All branches òf Government. The whole system is corrupt. Who are you to hold the justices accountable when you allowed Kushner and Ivanka and Obama and Clinton and Bush, and Mitch McConnell and his wife do all they did when they held Office. Not to mention when Bush and Dick Cheney did all kind of illegal shit when they were in Office. So disingenuous to be going at the Supreme Court when you fail to deal with all these other issues. This so call Democratic experiment has failed. It's all corruption. Trump has showed how really corrupt the system is, even to the point that he can threaten witnesses and the whole judicial system and remain on the Streets. My Constitutional rights were denied me for both bail saying I was a flight risk. I did not even have a passport. Also my rights to a speedy trial were denied because the Officer in the case was out on a hunting trip. This was in the filing of the US Assitant Attorney. The Judge denied my right to a speedy trial it was in the Third Circuit. Now this guy because of his so call Status gets to run around threatening people. Yeah Justice is blind. If Justice is so blind why does she just target the African American community? If Justice is blind why is Trump not sitting some where in a Prison waiting for trial like another number of people who are sitting in prison right now with no bail? What was Trumps bail? Or is he out on his own recognizance. I was not even given a bail, if Justice is blind why was I not given a bail. What Justice needs to do is take that dam blindfold of her face, and be accountable for all her racism, and hatred for the black community here in America. Trump along with the people who did a insurrection have proven that Justice in this Country is racist. These white people all need to be held accountable for the murder and the assault of all the Officers that were injured. It was a Conspiracy. I spent 15 years in prison for fictitious drugs. The government of the USA convicted me of imaginary drugs they never found a drug on me. They used the testimony of other people who were saying I sold them drugs. But these people we have on tape as part of the whole process. Some got probation??? Really bro. Racism how many black people would be on probation for such an incident?? Anyone want to take at shot at answering that question. So for white people who do not know what White Privilege is, this would be a good frame of reference. This Justice lady with the blindfold is some shit!
Scotus has turned into prostitutes, SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. They should not be able to be lawless at all. Clarence thomas is the worst. He is the the modern day slave to rich white men. #abortscotus
Do something then.
You put on a dollar and vent value he might have meant how much of his time that it takes everything isn't money
A real judge would realizes he has lost all credibility and just resign. Of course the Republican Party would go crazy because Biden would get to install a new one. There is stuff on the other judges. Anyone know if it's just the conservatives?
Impeach Thomas!
There should be accountability for the Supreme Court. Without accountability you're just asking for trouble and we've got trouble… To put it mildly.
KICK Clarence’s B#TT OUT NOW. Impeach the “DIRTY 6” Sup Ct Justices. NOW‼️.
🇺🇸🥰Sen Whitehouse would be a good President. We need someone younger (sorry Biden u have too much baggage)👴🏼🧳👝
Weiss sat on massive evidence and did nothing for years. They should assign another person as judge. We've been lied to by Joe Biden, Merrit Garland and Weiss. Ongoing investigations lasting forever for the Bidens are just a way of shileding the Bidens. There is no question Joe Biden committ massive ethics violations lying to the public, not explaining how nine members of the Biden family had money laundered to them through comlicated LLCs, being involved with dozns of inappropriate bisness meetings he should not hav been at in any form.
Senator Whitehouse is on there ass!!!!
Referencing the SCOTUS decision to side with PERDUE PHARMA, I’m wondering if there is a possible connection to Thomas. Though at this point all decisions by SCOTUS are suspect due to public lack of faith in the legitimacy of this court. In spite of evidence that there have been ongoing allegations of misconduct, even corruption within the SCOTUS, it remains,and has been glossed over and covered up. It is time to fix it.
Clarence bedtime lullaby:
“I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Be as White
As I am bright!
But if too hard
to replicate,
I expect rich friends
to Reparate!”
Yep it's not enough pay let's just get rid of all of them. We can do without the Supreme Court.
So much corruption in the US! The Supreme Court should be disbanded, they don't represent the will of the people!
They should be fired after 5years perioid
Fire him….just do it! Thats what Mitch McFascist would do , while laughing at the people who complain. Just Fure him. Maje him si uncomfortable going to jail he quits.
So how did Biden get all of his luxury homes?
Thomas was a scoundrel when he was appointed.
Ginni and Clarence: two greedy gluttonous creatures with no purpose in life. Their obscene lust for riches is insatiable. Hope there is room in their graves for all their loot..
Clarence T was so traumatized by his childhood poverty and his pride hurt through affirmative action that he saw dollars as the only goal to reach in life, no matter the moral and ethical cost. Not only did he turn against his own race, he turned against poverty, not in the sense of trying to elevate the poor but in the sense of elevating the rich. This man sold and is selling every molecule of his body and every part of his soul.
He has been bought, a slave to money.
Let's get rid of the poor, poor Clarence. Being bought and paid for by the Maga rich. IMPEACH unethical Maga supreme Court injustice Clarence Thomas.
What a supreme joke.
Pound sand, sounds like the Maga Cult has corrupted everything they touch.
Uncle "REAM-US" THOMAS!!!
Renegade 101st.

You are right Senator! i wish i had never heard these !
Sheldon Whitehouse for the Whitehouse❣️
Supreme Court rulings are no long with merit..
Clarence Thomas reminds me of Steven (the black slave enforcer) from the movie "Django".
Judge Thomas needs to be Expelled from SUPREMECourt ASAP and Prosecution of Jenni Thomas too for Inserectionist
