First Senator From whence?
Shakespeare is buried in the chancel of the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. You should be able to book a jet tonight and be there in two days or so if you're serious about this grammar-stick-whacking business. Be sure to take photos, and I suggest you bring something to deal with the guards.

Seems to me the only reasonable way to determine what's "correct" is to evaluate usage, if you're going to agree that there's nothing wrong with language changing (and if you don't agree with that, I suggest you start brushing up on your Proto-Indo-European and hope everyone else does too). And based on usage, "from whence" is fine.

I bet you don't end sentences with prepositions, either.
