The Scheme: How The Right Wing Used Dark Money to Capture the Supreme Court with author Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will discuss his new book,  THE SCHEME, which methodically pulls back the curtain on a decades-long, behind-the-scenes manipulation of our political and judicial systems to capture our courts—especially the Supreme Court—as a way to control our democracy. Packed with personal insights and inside stories from Whitehouse’s fifteen years in the U.S. Senate, it is at once an alarm that cannot be ignored and a pressing call for corrective action.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Sheldon Whitehouse represents Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate. He has served as his state’s United States Attorney and as the state Attorney General, as well as its top business regulator. The author of Captured and The Scheme (both from The New Press), he lives in Newport, Rhode Island.
