Senator Whitehouse: Madame President, there is a scheme afoot . . . [View all]
Tuesday, 5/25/21, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) gave the first of a series of floor speeches he will make in the coming weeks about the right-wing scheme to control the judicial branch for the benefit of big corporations, which has been in place since the 70s - largely by the use of hundreds of millions of dollars in secret, 'dark money'.
In this initial foray, he begins with the origins of the secret scheme by telling of Lewis Powell and the infamous 'Powell Memo'.
