Democrat elected officials were no better in their comments. Here was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control." What is she talking about? "Today's ruling (on immunity) represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture." You want to defend our nation - protect the border! "I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return."
Impeach who? All 6 of the conservative leaning justices? Because you disagree with their decisions? Just another example of the Democratic left's threat to democracy - change the makeup of the Court in order to get the "right" decision. The ends justify the means. Make no mistake, Ocasio-Cortez is no isolated member of The Squad.
Here is Hakeem Jeffries, the Minority Leader in the House, and future Speaker if the Democrats gain control of the House: "House Democrats will engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity with respect to the Supreme Court to ensure that the extreme far right justices in the majority are brought into compliance with the Constitution." "Extreme far right?" Always the name calling by the left. "Brought into compliance with the Constitution?" How's that exactly? The Court is a separate and co-equal branch of government. The Court is tasked with interpreting the Constitution. What's the plan - threaten justices who don't conform their opinions to left-wing ideology? Oh wait, Schumer already did that when he threatened Gorsuch and Kavanaugh over the abortion decision.
Speaking of Schumer, the Majority Leader in the Senate, he called the decision "disgraceful." Schumer: "This is a sad day for our democracy. The very basis of our judicial system is that no one is above the law. Treason or incitement to insurrection should not be considered a core constitutional power afforded to a president." Okay, but Trump was neither charged with treason nor incitement to insurrection.
Schumer: "This decision undermines the credibility of the Supreme Court, and suggests that political influence trumps all in our courts today." Wow! That's what Jews call chutzpah! The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the credibility of the Supreme Court with their non-stop attacks. Just because they disagree with some of the Court's decisions. And they do it intentionally, hoping to scare the voting public into thinking that everyone is going to lose all their rights, unless a Democrat is always in the White House, always able to appoint left-wing justices. Clearly, the Democrats have no respect for the Constitution's separation of powers.
Here is Senator Richard Blumenthal, (D-Conn): "My stomach turns with fear and anger that our democracy can be so endangered by an out of control Court. The members of (the) Court's conservative majority will now be rightly perceived by the American people as extreme partisan hacks - politicians in robes." Isn't that nice and respectful? Calling Supreme Court Justices "partisan hacks," simply because you disagree with some of their decisions. Again, just another Democrat seeking to undermine the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, while at the same time trying to frighten the voting public.
Not surprisingly, President Biden chimed in as well. "No one, no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States...(with) today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, there are virtually no limits on what the president can do." He's wrong, of course. And he clearly has no appreciation for how the decision protects him from future prosecution. Ordinarily, I would say it's the president's job to say something like this: "While I disagree with the Court's decision, they have now ruled. And under our Constitution's separation of powers, we need to be respectful of that - even when we disagree." Didn't Biden promise to be the unifier? Unfortunately, he has repeatedly acted as the divider in chief.
