Sheldon Whitehouse (born October 20, 1955) is an American politician and the junior United States Senator from Rhode Island, serving since 2007. He is a member of the Democratic Party and previously served as a United States Attorney from 1993 to 1998 and as the Attorney General of Rhode Island from 1999 to 2003.
Whitehouse was born in New York City, New York, the son of Mary Celine (née Rand) and career diplomat Charles Sheldon Whitehouse, and grandson of diplomat Sheldon Whitehouse. He graduated from St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, and from Yale University in 1978. He received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1982.
Whitehouse worked as a clerk for Judge Richard F. Neely of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia from 1982 to 1983. He also worked in the Rhode Island Attorney General's office as a special assistant attorney general from 1985 to 1990, chief of the Regulatory Unit (which oversaw utilities) from 1988 to 1990, and also an assistant attorney general from 1989 to 1990.
Neil McGill Gorsuch (born August 29, 1967 in Denver, Colorado) is a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. He is the son of Anne Burford, the first female head of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Gorsuch graduated from the Georgetown Preparatory School and received a B.A. from Columbia University (where he was co-founder and first chief editor of the alternative newspaper The Fed and won a Truman Scholarship). He earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School and Doctorate of Legal Philosophy from Oxford University, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar at University College.
Gorsuch clerked for Judge David B. Sentelle on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from 1991–1992, and then for United States Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy from 1993-1994.
From 1995-2005, Judge Gorsuch was in private practice with the Washington, D.C. law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel. He was a Deputy Associate Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice from 2005 until 2006.
Whitehouse may refer to:
A supreme court is the highest court within the hierarchy of many legal jurisdictions. Other descriptions for such courts include court of last resort, instance court, judgment court, apex court, and highest court of appeal. Broadly speaking, the decisions of a supreme court are not subject to further review by any other court. Supreme courts typically function primarily as appellate courts, hearing appeals from decisions of lower trial courts, or from intermediate-level appellate courts.
However, not all highest courts are named as such. Civil law states do not tend to have singular highest courts. Additionally, the highest court in some jurisdictions is not named the "Supreme Court", for example, the High Court of Australia; this is because decisions by the High Court could formerly be appealed to the Privy Council. On the other hand, in some places the court named the "Supreme Court" is not in fact the highest court; examples include the New York Supreme Court, the Supreme Courts of several Canadian provinces/territories and the former Supreme Court of Judicature of England and Wales, which are all superseded by higher Courts of Appeal.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse was on MSNBC to talk about how Republicans' support for Judge Neil Gorsuch was contingent on the likelihood that he'd do the bidding for corporate America. 'Morning Joe' host Joe Scarborough challenged him on this claim seeing that, if money in politics was such an issue to him, how could he have supported Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary. Backed into a corner, Senator Whitehouse then made up lies, alleging Wall Street wanted to defeat Hillary Clinton, and spent money to elect Bernie Sanders in certain states. Hilarity ensued and the panel laughed at him in what will probably be the most embarrassing moment of his career.

Senator Whitehouse: "Wallstreet Backed Bernie Sanders To Stop Hillary Clinton" - Bernie Sanders In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on April 4, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse made the bizarre claim that Wall Street donors backed Sen. Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries because they wanted to provide Donald Trump with a weak candidate in the general election. “They did not want Hillary Clinton to win, that’s why Wall Street money supported Bernie Sanders in in the Democratic primaries to take her out because they thought she would be the stronger candidate. You can’t pretend that didn’t happen,” Whitehouse said, citing no evidence or data to corroborate this claim. To the contrary, Wall Street didn’t back Sanders.
