this being let's pick on justice alito day. justice alito's response to all of this has always you're bunch of sore losers. you just like the result. and as steve explaining is really much than that. i want to talk to you some more or go ahead 30, 30 more seconds. i think it's worth stressing like, yes, i am often sort of dismissed as being a progressive who's just crying in my spilled progressive milk. i don't know what progressive milk looks like, but that free. oatmilk. so there are two quick response. the first is this is not just progressives. i mean one of the most vocal critics inside court of a lot of the court's procedural machinations in the last two years has been chief justice john roberts. right. roberts has actually joined the three democratic appointees in a surprising of these procedural disputes, where he might be sympathetic on the merits to what the other justices are doing. he's not sympathetic to what they're doing procedurally. the alabama redistricting case is a good example of that. but more fundamentall

one, you saw that when that alito leak went out of his draft opinion. they all got mad as hell and they said, we're to investigate this. the chief justice said, i've the marshal to investigate this. so he clearly demonstrated his belief that he had the power to order an investigation. and what i've been asking him and telling him and indeed told him at the last judicial conference meeting, which i get invited to, not his favorite invite, i'll tell you, is, okay, now that you establish the proposition that you can order investigations into matters, investigate what thomas knew and when he knew it about his wife's activities, the insurrection, pretty straightforward investigative stuff. so it opens it opens a window for him to lead an ethics regime in which there is at least investigation with traditional investigative principles, that if you lie you know, you're accountable and it's not just press releases from the judges. so that, i think is pretty important. and then, of course, he could always move to try to adopt a code of ethics and to determine a w

justice alito holds the seat congress created in 1837. i don't think he thinks he's unconstitutional. right. the point is not that he's wrong. the the point is that this is in the zeitgeist. but the point is that we have court today that believes it is not accountable to the other branches of government and believes it ought not to be accountable to the other branches of government and everything else that we see in the news flows from that. right. the court is not worried about congress, so it's perfectly to rip the heart out of statutory. right. the court is not worried about. so the justices don't care that much about ethics. right. i mean, there's just every single flash point for the supreme court. the court doesn't feel beholden to us. so they issue major rulings where they actually provide zero explanation. for in january, where you had a54 ruling allowing the biden administration to remove razor wire that greg abbott had placed along the us-mexico border in texas. when there's nary a word from, the majority or the dissent about, w

precisely like alito's claims of empty private jet seats and personal friendship. the department of -- sorry. the department of interior employee pleaded guilty to a section 1018 false statements by a public official violation and was sentenced to two years of probation and a $1,000 fine. so what conclusion can you draw from those cases? the conclusion you draw from those cases is that over and over in the real world of proper government disclosure and accountability, government officials are prosecuted for failing to disclose gifts far lower in value than what supreme court justices have received. in that real world they plead guilty to felony criminal charges and they received criminal sentences. as felons they lose various legal privilege, and this is just for failing to disclose. these cases did not involve tax crimes. the cases against these ordinary government officials, even a member of congress, provide a comparable -- a comparable against which undisclosed gifts to justices of the supreme court should be measured. what we see shows that equivalent acts in

this, there are a multitude of statutes that require, no, not a suggestion, not a wish, but as justice alito described it, a congressional command that this secretary and his agents detain and in some cases remove. and this secretary has said i'm not going to do it. and that leads me back to the original point. i'm not going to go through all the evidence here for every case, for every issue that we've got. but we're ready to go, mr. schumer. we're ready to go. but it leads us back to this point. even the biden administration agrees with it. if an executive branch agencies has fully abdicated its statutory requirements, its duties, its responsibilities, there is really only one alternative. and the house did its job. we impeached. and now it's time for the senate to do its job and let that trial take place and let us see if secretary mayorkas should be removed from his office. that's what the founders intended, that's what history has indicated, and that's what is necessary in this case. and with that, i turn it back over to my friend and senator from utah, mr. lee. >> right. let's open up f
