so one of the bills by senator sheldon whitehouse, for example, would create a complaint system wherecould send in complaints that a supreme court justice was undermining the integrity of the court for whatever reason. it's not really defined, that seems like a pretty broad phase to -- phrase to me. and then those complaints would get vetted and go to the a panel of circuit court judges for review. it seems to me almost like an open-ended rolling impeachment process at -- paul: it'd be open political season on the court anytime they issued an opinion that people didn't like. >> and similar to the recusal system. so the white house bill has a forced, congressionally-enforced recusal rules. republican witnesses were saying that basically what you'd end up in any real big case was pre-litigation over which of the justices are allowed to hear the case. and i don't think that's really a way to, you know, prove the integrity of the court. paul: dan, the language that sheldon whitehouse used, the supreme court has proven it can't police itself. police? why should we be policing the supreme c

sheldon whitehouse's idea to have an appellate court of chief justice justice is an idea and justice is denied in another idea from blumenthal from connecticut is to your point every agency of the executive branch has an inspector general that inspector general's position is charged with protecting independent investigations of the i branch. during the obama destruction that inspector general and eric holder what have to do an interview. then it would go to capitol hill and testify and release it to the media and that was the way to hold accountability to the executive branch. they could similarly conduct investigations from within the branch. >> speaking of separation of powers the chief justice was invited to testify in front of the senate judiciary committee and the thus show the letter that was sent back to senator dick durbin saying mr. chairman thank you for your letter. i must decline your invitation to the testimony before the senate judiciary committee by the chief justice of bennett states is exceedingly rare and as one might expect he might have separation of powers concer

joining us now, democratic senator sheldon whitehouse from wyoming, a you dish subcommittee member. see you. there's a lot of criticism of justice thomas, some of justice roberts, but all nine justices, all nine seem to be on the same page they do not need increased oversight, including the three liberal justices. if you can't get them to align with you on the issue of oversight, what's the next step? >> well, first of all, let's not be so sure about that because one justice has said publicly the court has tried to put together an et ibs code together for itself in the past and it hasn't succeeded yet. it's fair to say none of the nine justices want it and haven't sorted it out yet. the other judges are getting quite fed up with the supreme court justices' behavior because they do have to live under ethics code and ethics processes they know would not permit the kind of behavior that the supreme court is both engaged in and trying to justify. so there's also going to be pressure from within the rest of the federal judiciary to clean up this mess. if push comes to shove, we've got le

(whispering) no, no, no. he won. suck it up. well, i'd ask you guys if you want dessert, but i know sheldon doesn't eat dessert on tuesdays. and even if raj wanted something, he couldn't tell me. howard won't order anything, but he will come up with some sort of skeevy comment involving the words pie or cheesecake. and leonard's lactose intolerant, so he can't eat anything here without his intestines blowing up like a balloon animal. hang on a second. i could have the fruit platter. you want the fruit platter? does it have melon on it? yeah. no, i can't eat melon. oh, howard, heads up. your ex-girlfriend just came in for her shift. when was the last time you saw her? oh, not since we broke up.

also spoke with of the judiciary committee members and former ag's, richard blumenthal and senator sheldontehouse and both of them again stressing that they would like to see something done on a bipartisan level but also leaving the room open to see if something could get it done. >> you also talked with senator cruz who is saying as far as arguments go or constitutional arguments there are some questions. >> i spoke with senator cruz who argued in front of the supreme court nine times and he said he doesn't see it as a viable argument but also kind of stressed his thoughts that the white house wouldn't make such a move and a similarly we found a show the secretary was also pushing back on the idea that that would be an option and similarly i spoke with progressives, senator bernie sanders into senator elizabeth warren who kind of stressed let's have a new wait and see before really talking about that as an option. >> one of the other things possibly the possibility that it could haveve as a short-term extension is there an appetite for that? >> we are not seeing a ton of appetite for that

joining me now is one of the members of the jet is to chip -- from rhode island, sheldon whitehouse.ator, thank you for being with us. the supreme court has long been left to police themselves when it comes to these sorts of ethics questions. you had said that that's not enough. what are the options here? how do you balance the independents of the court with the idea that this branch is not above reproach? t this branch is>> well first og the core police itself has absolutely nothing to do with its independence. it can be independent all day long, and still police itself. what they have done is simply refused to please apply the judicial code of ethics to themselves. which is a very, very convenient decision. but it's one that their behavior shows is no longer tenable. so they have to clean up the mass, and they have to come up with an effective way of having real ethics procedures within the supreme court. >> so senator, what are some of that the options here, particularly on your committee, i mean some people have flirted with the idea of subpoena so they can appear in front of you

in fact, nevada is second only for one reason, sheldon atleton who gave more than $250 billion to republican causes. other than that, california would be on top of nevada. we're a state that they come to for the money. republicans may not win here, but they certainly go a long way toward giving out the money where it's needed. >>> speaking of presidential candidates, florida's governor ron desantis marked memorial day with a speech at the jacksonville veterans memorial wall, paying tribute to the men and women who died serving our country. desantis told the crowd the country can have the best political leaders, but it doesn't amount to much if people don't stand up and risk their lives to serve their country. he hosted a barbecue for 400 veterans today. florida has the third largest veteran population in the country. >>> president biden honored america's fallen at arlington national cemetery. vice president kamala harris was at his side. they laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, a symbolic grave for all soldiers whose remains have not been found or identified. mr. biden lauded t

the w. lucy sheldon is following the story from brussel. she told me more about the scope of the police operation. it is still early days. we have heard about several arrests in germany and we have also heard that there is a big operation going on in the village. so look and collaborative. at this stage i tried to get a confirmation from euro paul, and they said, s investigations are still ongoing. they are not willing to comment at this stage right now, but there are, in any case i'm going and as we have heard, it is a coordinated probe by investigators in germany, belgium, france, italy, portugal in spain, as well as by euro, pole, and euro just and the bavarian public prosecutor said, for example, that they're working very closely together with the italian authorities. people have to keep on watching today to really understand the scale of this probe and also to be able to estimate in how far this really was a stroke, was a strike to watch the drug data. well, this story, of course, is still developing. what can you tell us to see what w
