7:36Now PlayingMarch 12 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse joins The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell to detail the findings of his latest law review article, entitled “Knights-Errant: The Roberts Court and Erroneous Fact-Finding.”
Whitehouse’s article sheds light on the Court’s propensity for relying on extra-record – and often false – facts that lend advantage to Republican or corporate special interests.
The article details bogus and uncorrected facts in Supreme Court decisions, explains their consequences in disrupting settled precedents, and explores actions the judicial and legislative branches could take to ensure the Court cleans up factual errors and kicks its fact-finding habit.
