Sheldon Whitehouse, D.-R.I.

Whitehouse, who used his time in Tuesday's hearing to lay out what he called the connections between dark-money groups and legal advocates that have helped support the revolution in the federal judiciary under President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., made a simpler argument on Wednesday.

The wealthiest and most powerful clients and lawyers used their knowledge of legal practices at the highest levels, along with, in at least one case, signals by then-Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia about his readiness to overturn an existing precedent, in order to bring about a case that ultimately disposed of a doctrine they opposed, Whitehouse said.

He also suggested the Supreme Court might need to apply the same ethical guidelines in use at the appellate level — Barrett said she was surprised it already doesn't.

Did he have anything on Soros and his attempts to overthrow the government using Antifa and BLM?

I knew SCOTUS was bought and paid for, but that's infuriating

That was a most impressive presentation. Senator Whitehouse is a helluva lawyer. The expression on Barrett's face was priceless and said it all. Biden should make Whitehouse AG.....Bravo, Sir!!!

Why doesn't NPR call into question the 'dark money' Sheldon Whitehouse has collected in his tenure?

Senator Whitehorse was the teacher today and Judge Amy was the student. Hope she and all of us support more transparency in finding the source of this money ,then look at the remedies.

Ted Cruz did the same thing but from the Democrats so that’s that.

SenWhitehouse's presentation, during the AmyConeyBarrettFarce hearings, will go down in history as a prescient warning about GOP games being undertaken to undermine democracy. He'll be able to look back at the conspiracy lawsuits surely to follow & point back to his analysis.

YES - this is the devil's money. Now do BLM, Antifa, and the exact analogs to this dark-money that goes to leftists.

DNC has tons of dark money

Now show the response from Ted Cruz revealing dark-money connections to Whitehouse.

Ramming the Barret nomination through by Republicans is a desperate act and unconscionable. I will remember in November and every November after that! AmyComeyBarrett SCOTUShearings

Liberals complaining about the politicization of the judiciary is rich. They made this bed.
