Sheldon Whitehouse

I don't know that there's a better Chairman and Ranking Member to breathe a little life into immigration reform here.

When you get to the Supreme Court, if it's an interest in which the big right-wing billionaires are concerned, very hard to count on getting a fair shot.

I have a term limits bill, so I'm obviously for that.

There is a shadow of dark money influence around the Court that is very unhealthy for the institution.

The ethics reporting law that is at the heart of the Clarence Thomas ethics reporting scandal is a law passed by Congress.

I think it would be better for the country if the Supreme Court and the nominations process had not been so heavily politicized.

Let's make this a 'can.' We really do need those 30 gigawatts; we really do need these jobs.

I believe very much that this Committee has a very important role to play in the permitting reform conversation.

I think if we're going to do this, we've got to come up with a budget reform that moves us to a stable, sensible debt to GDP.

If the function of lowering business taxes is to reward and induce investment that create jobs, then I can get behind that.

If the purpose of lower business taxes is to windfall to CEOs and shareholders stock buybacks and increase compensation, then I don't support that.

I promise you Ranking Member Grassley, hearings in the future, on ways to save healthcare costs that don't require benefit cuts.

We heard unchallenged testimony from Moody's Chief Economist that the MAGA plan would cost the American economy almost 800,000 jobs and increase the chance of a recession.

Unfortunately, we meet this morning in the shadow of the Republican Speaker's continuing threat to force a catastrophic U.S. default.

There's only one person in that room who was threatening to default on the credit of the United States.

This is not a witch hunt. This is not a smear. This is not a harassment. This is to try to rescue the reputation of the Court from some very sordid facts that have been disclosed and proven.
