Sen. WH: Public Deserves To Know About Judges ‘Ushered By Secret Special Interests’ | The Last Word
Yes good points, secret special interests, we need to follow the money, show the money, turn the lights on the dark
thank you Sheldon WhiteHouse, keep it up!
trump and McConnel were behind this to protect Trump
The truth is, there is no democracy, there is only corruption.
It’s d COKE brothers..
Who is the real ‘deep state’ the dark money that backed Trump
Yes , there was/is a method to this madness for a power grab . That is what it is , a power grab by a cunning enemy . The things that were done and people who were appointed, under the Trump Admin , were put in place for a specific reason and I truly hope you can find out what was being conspired here because these were not willy-nilly actions . They had a reason and a purpose and if not…..then we all have witnessed true madness of the mind.
Liberals are great talkers but not very good at execution. Case in point is Justice Breyer still being on the Court instead of having announced his retirement already. One would have thought that RBG having stayed on too long and having guaranteed that Donald Trump would name her replacement would have been a painful enough lesson but no. . .
Thank you thank you thank you, I’ve been feeling like all of these intelligent people are very very stupid to miss the obvious coordination of all of these things!
I thought in situations like this it was summarily requisite to recuse yourself??
Who didn’t know that when it was happening?
It was/became Mitch McConnell’s raison d’être. Follow the money as best you can.
Well I hope the Dems do a better job of stopping voter suppression better than they did stopping these corrupt judge appointments. Speak up ! Do something !
Another corner where Republicans are trying to usurp our government.
Let the truth be known
What does it take to change lifetime limits or other long limits?
“Unqualified”
In a democracy you get the government you deserve.
We want an actual Commission to formally investigate this please. Right fellow Americans?
I just want to know what happened to the Check and Balances of all 3 executive branches. Election day is election day with exceptions for those in nursing homes as absentee ballots. Having courthouses open on weekends for this voting is unheard of, Ballot harvesting etc. was only done for the reason of Covid-19 issues. Yet, they just kept moving the goal post. This country keeps wanting to make everything modern so easy. This country was build by blood and sweat of our forefathers. You voted on a given day it was their responsibility to make the effort to get to a specific location at a given time to make their vote count. So let’s go back to those days.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse!
That’s the main reason that they put Donald Trump in the White House in the first place they new he was evil to begin with and so were all of his rich backers they had their own special agenda from the very beginning to oppress the average American citizen even more in even more disgusting modern ways of slavery for the wealthiest 1% to continue to profit even more while the average American citizen suffered more!!!!!!
Good reporting. Don’t let this be forgotten in the years and rulings to come.
I would like to see a President Whitehouse. Taking care of the peoples business
