Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Courts Subcommittee, delivers the thirty-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 discusses President Joe Biden’s commonsense proposal for rebuilding public confidence in the Supreme Court. The President’s proposal includes a binding code of ethics for the Supreme Court, 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, and a constitutional amendment to overturn the Court’s disastrous decision on presidential immunity. Whitehouse is the lead Senate sponsor of the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, judicial ethics legislation that advanced through the Judiciary Committee last July and awaits a vote on the Senate floor. He is also the lead Senate sponsor of the Supreme Court Biennial Appointments and Term Limits Act, which would create effective 18-year term limits for the Supreme Court.
