Keith Olbermann Calls For The Supreme Court To Be Dissolved
Zubu Brothers ^ | 6-25-2022

With all the wailing and gnashing of teeth going on over the Supreme Court’s decision to end Roe vs. Wade and pass the lawmaking onus on to the states, the court’s decision to overturn New York’s ban on conceal carry and other gun rights might get buried in the chaos. Extreme leftist and corporate “journalist” Keith Olbermann certainly had a lot to say about it, though.

Incensed by the idea that a government body might actually rule against common leftist policy, the calls for violence and even (*gasp) insurrection have been rising. Specifically, the left believes that intimidation or outright dissolution of the Supreme Court is justifiable.

Olbermann argues for exactly that, while also presenting a bizarre assertion that states should ignore the decision and violate our 2nd Amendment rights anyway because they are “just a court” and “can’t enforce the ruling.” One could apply the same logic and say that the states should have ignored Roe vs. Wade and made abortion illegal this entire time because the Supreme Court “can’t enforce the ruling.”

One factor that Olbermann also seems to overlook is the reality that the people of a particular state could also ignore the state government’s attempts to enforce unconstitutional gun laws. How is New York going to compel the citizenry to give up their gun rights if millions of them take up arms and refuse to submit? Two can play that game, and this dynamic never crosses Olbermann’s mind.

The left appears to be intent to abandon any semblance of diplomacy or checks and balances to get what they want, but they may be greatly overestimating their chances should political disagreement turn into physical conflict.

Not constitutional, but the number of justices is set by a current congressional act. It would only take the Congress to up the number to 11. 11 makes sense since it is the number of US Federal Court district’s. This would put the USSC inline with the representation in the Federal Court level. At least how it would be sold. I doubt a constitutional amendment will ever be passed setting and fixing the number if USSC justices so it will always be in the hands of Congress and therefore the people via our representatives. So no you can’t just disband the Court you can only change it to reflect a growing nation. FDR tried court packing he failed Congress is hesitant to break with precedence since if one side raises the number the other side will surely follow as soon as they can. Setting up a arms race until a constitutional amendment would have to be had or a total collapse of the system.

My point exactly. When the SC rules in the lefts favor, the SC is almost god like.
Rule against the left and blammo… the SC MUST be abolished.

Since he gets fired every six months wherever he goes, he’s apparently auditioning for his next screaming leftist job.

Let’s dissolve the Supreme Court. What now? The Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal are now the highest judicial authority in the land. So if an issue comes up in two circuits and they have different outcomes then there is no resolution until a federal law is passed resolving the issue. If no such law is passed then the issue remains unresolved from a national perspective. Maybe one circuit will say abortion or concealed carry is fine in that district and the other circuit may uphold laws banning these things completely. For those who are philosophically disposed to think equality of outcome is the greatest good, this should be unacceptable. It is as if you had multiple areas (11 in this case) with their own set of laws. These people want uniformity! The idea of 50 states, each with their own set of laws blows their fuses. And that is precisely what has happened here - the issue has been returned to the states.

Just looked for an old picture of him. Could not find it. He was in a janitors uniform mopping a floor. Before memes.

Since he’s reduced to podcasts and YouTube, I suspect he’s long since burned all his bridges.

A gem from the past:

I think Olbermann is suffering from Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS). Bulging eyes are a symptom.

___________________________________________

“”Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is a disorder characterized by the perception of loud noises (e.g. a bomb explosion, gunshot or cymbal crash) when going to sleep or awakening. The noise attacks can elicit a great deal of fear, confusion and distress in sufferers. Reports of tachycardia and palpitations are also common. Despite the distressing nature of EHS, relatively little is known about the prevalence and underlying cause of the condition. Some scientists have estimated that EHS may affect 10% of the population. Females tend to be more at risk than males and the average age of onset is 50 years old””.
