Months ago, Democrats began an attack on the U.S. Supreme Court, pushing the idea of packing the court so that it reflects their political ideology.
Elizabeth Warren is still fighting for this, claiming that SCOTUS has been ‘hijacked’ by the right.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Elizabeth Warren declares war on the Supreme CourtSen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is well known for lying about having Native American heritage. But, at least when it comes to her political statements, Senator Pocahontas is remarkably candid. After all, the Massachusetts Democrat just openly admitted that she wants to destroy the Supreme Court as we know it — and spark a constitutional crisis.“I’ll just be blunt: right-wing extremists have hijacked the Supreme Court of the United States,” Warren tweeted on Tuesday. “From shredding abortion rights to rigging the rules against workers and consumers, an out-of-touch majority is substituting their own views for the rule of law.”“For the sake of our freedoms and the sake of our democracy, we must expand the Supreme Court to rebalance it, and we need to institute a binding code of ethics for the justices,” the senator concluded .There’s a lot to unpack here, but Warren’s spiel is wrong from the get-go. The idea that the Supreme Court has been “hijacked by right-wing extremists” who “substitute their own views for the rule of law” is simply unfounded.
All of the talk from Democrats and the media about preserving our cherished norms under Trump was a lie. They are willing to demolish cherished institutions in order to advance their political power.
This is directly related to the never-ending attacks from Democrats on Justice Clarence Thomas.
Who is leading that effort? None other than Elizabeth Warren’s Senate colleague in Massachusetts, Ed Markey.
The Hill reports:
Markey calls for Clarence Thomas to resign: ‘reputation is unsalvageable’Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) on Monday called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign amid controversy over the justice’s financial disclosures and ethical concerns about the nation’s highest court.“I will say what needs to be said: Clarence Thomas should resign from the Supreme Court of the United States. His reputation is unsalvageable,” Markey said at an event to advocate for Supreme Court reforms.“It is evident that he cannot judge right from wrong. So why should he be judging the country’s most important cases, on its highest court?” the senator added.
AOC is also attacking SCOTUS on a regular basis.
Democrats see the U.S. Supreme Court as a roadblock to their ever expanding political power grab.
They don’t care about norms, they care about control.
