September 27 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Courts Subcommittee, delivers the twenty-fourth in a series of speeches titled “The Scheme,” exposing the machinations by right-wing donor interests to capture the Supreme Court and achieve through the Court what they cannot through the elected branches of government.

Whitehouse outlines the ethics complaint he submitted earlier this month detailing ethical lapses by Justice Samuel Alito, which support billionaires’ lawyers’ blockade of congressional investigations into other ethical lapses by Alito, and underscore the lack of formal process at the Court for receiving or investigating such complaints.
