September 5 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins MSNBC's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell. On Monday, Whitehouse wrote a letter Chief Justice John Roberts to lodge an ethics complaint against Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for violating several canons of judicial ethics.
Whitehouse’s formal complaint follows revelations that Justice Alito accepted but did not disclose gifts of luxury travel and exclusive lodging from right-wing billionaires, one with business before the Court. Justice Alito then made public comments opining on the constitutionality of Whitehouse’s Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency legislation to reform the Court’s lax ethics regime, which passed the Senate Judiciary Committee in July. Justice Alito’s comments also implicated ongoing Senate investigations into Justice Alito’s undisclosed gifts.

For me it is the drug commercials, who wants "explosive diarrhea" as a side affect? Know this as you listen 70% of MSNBC advertising revenue is big pharma. Hence the silencing of Kennedy, West, Williamson.

    • It would certainly be better than the current system which allows Thomas et al to run wild. The potential problem would be that often senate seats can be gained by massive funding of campaigns and in the case of a MAGA Senate bought by Leo's billionaires it would just enforce it's own corruption. Remember how these corrupt justices got their in the first place. Something seriously needs to be done. We can't have lifelong justices sitting there based on network of corrupt interests. I look to Senator Whitehouse for solutions. Greater Senate oversight of SC might help as at least Senators would be _somewhat_ held to account by the electorate if they fail to remove a corrupt justice. It doesn't stop MAGA following republican politicians making awful self serving decisions to block progress though so another piece of the puzzle is needed.

I believe someone must have shared this type of behavior as a way to receive perks and everyone else does it so you will be fine. My concern is that the highest bids are ruled in favor of the case. We sequester jurors to get a fair trial, we ask them to avoid outside influence Shouldn't we expect the same from SC, so they don't appear compromised?

  • Public perception of the Supreme Court of the United States is highly critical, particularly towards certain individuals on the court. These individuals appear as imbalanced extremists who distort ethical principles. This distortion of ethics is a perversion of justice that originates from within the Supreme Court itself. As a result, there is a strong public outcry for change, accountability, honesty, and transparency to address this imbalance and degradation of the highest court in the country.

  • What Alito was saying is that the SCOTUS can do what it wants, as long as it has Republican SCOTUS backing, and there is nothing you can do about it.

    • There are always hearings before they get appointed to the SCOTUS bench, don’t they? Each one of the MAGAs stated they would respect Roe v Wade. So they were vetted. They lied.

  • Are we talking about a case of their own ethics appearing before themselves? Or a case of the person who Alito is actually talking to having a case before them? I don't think either way they should be judging!

    • That's the issue, as the ultimate arbiters of law, they alone should realize they are held to a much, much higher standard. Kavanaugh should have never been confirmed and Thomas and Alito, just through the optics of receiving gifts, have damaged the prestige of the SCOTUS. Accountability is the only remedy to this and it should be swift and decisive - impeachment.

  • Good for you, Senator Whitehouse. Keep doing what is ethically right. Whether Supreme Court Justice, President, or Persons with governmental positions, everyone of them swore an oath to uphold the Law. Truthfully, honestly, morally, that alone should automatically make them responsible for their actions or non actions. Therefore, if they swore those oaths before God and it was in vain, then that too should hold consequences. May God bless you, Senator Whitehouse. In this ongoing fight for Justice, may He guide you and bring you victory. You are doing an exceptional job.

    • I love how much the gqp respect the bible and their so called religion. They swear an oath on the bible to the constitution then proudly ignore their oat. “ I want to be just like them someday”😅😅😅😅. Hypocrisy at its finest. Disgusting, lying evangelical satanic cultists. The US Supreme Court is a joke and a laughing stock in the world

  • Having a written Ethics Code for the scotus is an apolitical issue. Both sides should easily be able to agree that a code is needed, at least.

    @B_Bodziak@B_Bodziak8 ай бұрын

    • What good is a code that is policed by the police? The American system of Constitutional guardrails is just window dressing with no real enforcement by those who are the very ones that violate it. Hypocrisy lives at the highest levels of our government, and apparently the Constitution is only enforced on the people that vote these enablers in office! They only apply the law when it doesn’t involve them!
