Now That The Supreme Court Isn’t Their Puppet, Liberals Want To Destroy It
FTA:
Concerted opposition to the independent judiciary has begun to percolate on the left with little scrutiny. Last week, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, Hillary Clinton’s former spokesman Brian Fallon, and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna rallied activists seeking to enervate judicial independence through proposals like court-packing and term limits for justices.
...
For most of that time, progressive jurists circumvented the normal constitutional amendment process by reading into the law meanings that were never there to impose desired social policies on the nation, exceed the enumerated powers, and traverse protections of individual rights.
...
These proposals arguably lift the veil on the far left, which mostly saw the judiciary as a means to be exploited for narrow political ends. They are naked attempts to subsume judicial prerogatives into the political branches, thereby fundamentally endangering the liberty of the people. The three branches are separate and designed to check one another for a reason.
Whenever legislative, executive, and judicial powers are consolidated into fewer than three bodies, there’s a risk that one may violate the Supreme Law and the rights of the people with impunity. Without an independent judiciary to review the legality of the government’s transgressions against the people, there is little to stop them other than electoral failure.
Sure, we know all of this. But it’s really delicious to read it, too.
That Oval Office sit-down? Pelosi and Schumer got skunked.
By Patricia McCarthy
FTA:
The Democrats pretend to be so compassionate, but in fact, they are hardcore pols. They do not give a moment’s thought to the consequences of our cities being flooded with illegal migrants or how they affect Americans who do not live in gated communities or behind the walls like the ones that surround their homes. They offer no solutions beyond another “continuing resolution.” Their “we are the good guys” act was exposed for all to see. Those two, Pelosi and Schumer, are hateful, power-mad reprobates who will do and say anything to win, to be on top. They want to let millions of third-world refugees into the U.S. in order to defeat Republicans. That’s their plan, and they are sticking to it.
But on Tuesday morning, Trump had them for breakfast. It was a glorious sight to behold. Pelosi’s hand gestures were hilarious, clearly practiced and ridiculous.
After being skewered by Trump, the two of them ran to the microphones to spin the meeting their way. It did not go well. It may have dawned on them that they were set up, made the fools they are for all to see.
Schumer and Pelosi are two of the most arrogant, smug members of Congress. Both of them have been there way past their sell dates, and it shows. Neither has ever demonstrated an iota of respect for their opposition; they have no idea how or what they think. They care only about defeating them, no matter the cost – financial, moral, ethical, national, or spiritual.
At that meeting on Tuesday morning, the two of them got skunked.
