In this episode, Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi join Senator Sheldon Whitehouse from Rhode Island, who also previously served as the Attorney General of Rhode Island. We discuss which players and organizations are behind what Senator Whitehouse calls “the scheme,” what these players and organizations are doing to nominate and confirm conservative judges and justices, the importance of transparency in government, and what can be done in the Biden administration and by Victor’s generation to lessen the influence of dark money and special interests.
