March 12 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse joins The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell to detail the findings of his latest law review article, entitled “Knights-Errant: The Roberts Court and Erroneous Fact-Finding.”

Whitehouse’s article sheds light on the Court’s propensity for relying on extra-record – and often false – facts that lend advantage to Republican or corporate special interests.

The article details bogus and uncorrected facts in Supreme Court decisions, explains their consequences in disrupting settled precedents, and explores actions the judicial and legislative branches could take to ensure the Court cleans up factual errors and kicks its fact-finding habit.

If it is fake (and they were fake), then they cannot be facts. The current members of the supreme court must go.

Senator Whitehouse who is the person who can somehow help put some sort of help for the American people to protect our rights to have our protection to a free and fair election which the Supreme Court is trying right now to take away from us! They are attempting to make it so Trump will be guarded and be allowed to run for office with ever be tried for any of his crimes he has be indicted for! We will never know what the outcome of his cases are! Are I am sorry but we know he is guilty as he tells on himself everyday on video! He is definitely a danger to the American people!!

Senator whitehouse is absolutley correct ! The supreme court makes up lies and puts it out there making the people believe there lies , there tales , they should have to go back and correct what they put out there and tell the truth and rule in truth else we mine as well not have a supreme court because there not following the Law they should be ashamed of themselves because even though they dont believe there is a God there is a true living God that they are going to be held accountable to !!!

Lawrence O'Donnell's interview with Senator White House, was extremely informative. One thought I had right away , was the whistleblower coming forward and slipping that the Supreme Court would soon be making a decision about Roe versus Wade. It was obvious that the Supreme Court did not want the citizens to know what they were planning in advance. Well, thank goodness it did leak out and the American people had the opportunity to fight like hell in regards to the rights of women regarding abortion and women's health care. The government always talks about transparency, but never gives any. I don't want to wake up one morning to find out that they've made a decision regarding everyday people that will affect them negatively.

It's rather obvious that the Republican oligarchs have been pumping dark money into SCOTUS for a long time. This was aided by the huge tax cuts tRump gave to the uber wealthy. It's not just Thomas that has taken millions in bribes, I hope ProPublica will find information on most of them, including the leader, Roberts. Absolute money corrupts absolutely. Sen. Whitehouse, we truly need new rules for SCOTUS, it has gone rogue, like your 'knight" !
