SENATE HIGHLIGHTS: In the hours leading up the final vote on Trump Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse delivers a legendary speech. Senator Whitehouse outlines the corrupt process behind Amy Coney Barrett's nomination by Donald Trump and the rushed confirmation process by Senate Republicans, as he did during her confirmation hearings. Sheldon Whitehouse also points out that a similar process was used by conservative politicians and special interests to confirm Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. The Senator explains the ills of money in politics and the corporate capture of our courts that has lead to numerous partisan decisions by the Supreme Court. Whitehouse outlines the risks to the election, the affordable care act, workers rights, and basic rights that come with the highly conservative court that will result from the confirmation of Barrett. Sheldon Whitehouse endorsed the candidacy of Joe Biden & Kamala Harris, as a Biden-Harris Administration will almost certainly be better for everyday Americans than the Trump-Prence Administration has been.
