Description: In a fiery speech on the Senate Floor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse destroys Republican corporatists and their billionaire donors for corrupting America's Supreme Court with dark money in order to stunt the social and economic progress of everyday people. Whitehouse outlines the ways in which special interest dark money operated under the Donald Trump Presidency to select and Senate confirm Trump nominees including Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. In the wake of the Citizens United case SCOTUS decision, these organizations fueled by corrupt cash, have proliferated. It remains to be seen what influence these groups will have on the Joe Biden Presidency. The Senator slams Republicans, such as Mitch McConnell, who argue that he and other Democrats are the ones politicizing the court.
