Supreme Hypocrisy
The left weaponizes the legal system and woe to the high court justices who won’t go along.
Of all the left-wing attacks on the rule of law, the most dangerous is the deliberate attack on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). It is, of course, a ‘threat to democracy’ as high court justices are nominated by an elected President and confirmed by elected Senators. But more troubling, it is a direct assault on the Republic itself because lifetime appointments to the bench were designed to counter the mob.
Which is precisely what the unhinged left has become.
At some point, however, the Democrat hypocrisy must be evident to the average voter. Republican advisers are jailed for contempt of an illegitimate J6 committee while Merrick Garland scoffs at Congress by refusing to turn over the rambling audio of Joe Biden’s interview with a special counsel—made all the more egregious by the faltering President’s debate performance.1
The same attorney general who has presided over a clearly weaponized Department of Justice using a white collar Enron-era statute to prosecute J6ers. That is, until the high court said enough.2 Once again, the same Democrat partisans who lecture Donald Trump about respecting a runaway state court in New York while savaging sitting justices on the Supreme Court.
Why?
Because they have no ‘limiting principles’ that might constrain their insatiable desire to get the outcome they want from every single legal decision. It’s no coincidence that Congressional leaders of the Democrat mob threatening the Supreme Court—from Chuck Schumer to Tina Smith—are the same ones who signed off on everything from the lawfare in New York to the George Floyd rioting in Minnesota.3
It matters little to them that no serious observer would confuse John Roberts with Robert Bork. Indeed, the high court has hardly trail-blazed a path toward strict constructionism. Roberts has put his finger to the wind too many times to mention and Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch have both showed signs of their inner Anthony Kennedy.
But even flirting with originalism is taboo to the anarchist mob. And that explains the hysteria from the Democrat/Media complex over the just completed term which at least kept the Republic hanging on by a thread.
