  • The key to all Judges behavior is for Congress to make laws to STOP THE DIRTY MONEY is ENABLING ALL THIS MADNESS
  • Alito and Thomas MUST RESIGN or They sjould face criminal bribery charges and for acts of treason for providing aid and comfort to insurrectionists. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH is ENOUGH . RESIGNATION OR CRIMINAL CHARGES PERIOD
  • @user-wp1oj1tg5j
    Thank God! Is Senator White House the only person in Washington with any bravery? Evil only thrives when good men stand back and do nothing.
  • @HOHLfmly
    Alito and Thomas do not qualify to sit in on Jan 6th issues!!
  • @ziziroberts8041
    Thank you for your service to our Constitutional Republic, Senator Whitehouse.
  • @julismith6466
    As a Fed employee I was not permitted to accept dinner at a professional conference, could not “win” a random drawing at a professional conference even though every one had the same chance I did in the drawing- yet Thomas or Alito were able to receive trips, gifts. Makes no sense.
  • In so doing, Roberts has fully demonstrated he himself is UNFIT to serve the highest court of the land!
  • Much admiration for Senator Whitehouse and his diligence following the 😢 Supreme Court.
  • @donnaterrell938
    Roberts needs to do his job and take responsibility for his position in the court.
  • @berthagreen1620
    Your Supreme Court needs to be cleaned out of these crooks , Alito , Thomas ….
  • @user-vn4og7zl8p
    Far as the majority of Americans are concerned. The Supreme court is broken. VOTE BLUE EVERYONE. Save America and the Law of the land.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
  • @carolmartin4413
    Astounding that Roberts can sit in the middle of this pathetic, motley crew and claim it as his. May he go down in history as the same court who defined black men as two-thirds human.
  • It's not that complicated or difficult, it is pure arrogance in the corruption of power.
  • @Justin.Oldman.
    Thomas can accept millions in bribes over decades from people who have cases in his court but Willis splits dinner with her boyfriend and it's improper. Make it make sense.
  • @garnerjazz58
    It is shameful that Clarence Thomas still comes to work in black face.
  • @HOHLfmly
    There is a pattern that these judges are making decisions influenced fully by these judge's benefactors!
  • @user-lx2gb5gm4t
    Thank God someone has the good sense to delve into this mess and find a solution that upholds democracy.
