U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse Visit at Columbia

In February 2023, Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse spoke at the Law School about his new book “The Scheme: How the Right Wing Used Dark Money to Capture the Supreme Court.”

Whitehouse discussed ethical problems and potential reforms in the Supreme Court, the influence of “dark money” on politics, and climate change, among other topics. The event was sponsored by Columbia’s Center for the History and Ethics of Public Health, the Mailman School of Public Health, the Columbia Climate School, and the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.
