Whitehouse & Nicolle Wallace Scrutinize the Billionaires & Special Interests Swarming around SCOTUS



September 25 - Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace to break down the latest ProPublica story on the Supreme Court's ethics mess.

ProPublica reported that Justice Clarence Thomas has “served as a fundraising draw” at Koch events, including at a “top-tier” dinner for Koch donors. ProPublica reported that these appearances were “part of a years long, personal relationship with the Koch brothers that has remained almost entirely out of public view.”

You have a total free hand to do whatever you want.
Your bought and paid for SC justices will always give you a pass.

He's persistent in his investigation, he's spoken out on most of the cable shows as well.
