Sen. Whitehouse and Lawrence O'Donnell Talk Ginni Thomas and Supreme Court Ethics Reform - The Last Word - MSNBC
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) joins The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell to discuss a ProPublica piece that found Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, privately heaped praise on religious-rights group First Liberty Institute for fighting efforts to reform the Supreme Court — efforts sparked, in large part, by her husband’s ethical lapses.
The group’s leader, Kelly Shackelford, also attacked Justice Elena Kagan as “treasonous” for backing a stronger ethics code. - Aired on 09/04/2024.
