House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has struggled to pander to the mob to secure power in the midterm elections, including brandishing a baseball bat on social media to show his radical bona fides. With Democratic Socialists chanting “you’re next” when seeing Jeffries, he continues to struggle to stay in front of the mob. This week, he doubled down on his pledge to throw the Supreme Court to the mob if they make him the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.
After the recent gains by far-left candidates in states like Minnesota and the near victory of Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin, Jeffries came out to reaffirm his intent to radically change the highest court. According to the Washington Times, Jeffries declared, “There’s a variety of different options that are on the table, and I think that we can’t foreclose any single one of them.” He added that the “conservative, right-wing majority on the Supreme Court has become basically a subsidiary of the MAGA Republican Party.”
He promised to make far-left Rep. Jamie Raskin (D., Md.) the driving force behind changing the Court, including possible 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices and expanding the Court to create an instant liberal majority.
Notably, none of these figures were claiming that the Court was fundamentally flawed until it ruled against them, particularly in cases that impacted their political power such as declaring racial gerrymandering to be unconstitutional.
What is interesting is that the liberal justices reject this narrative, reminding citizens that the Court has delivered major losses to the Trump Administration. Indeed, President Trump has routinely attacked conservative justices for ruling against him and his Administration.
In addition, polls show that the majority of the public supports virtually all of the recent major rulings, including the ban on racial gerrymandering. It is only the Democrats who oppose those rulings and are now demanding a hostile takeover of the Court.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has called for packing the Court because it does not follow her views and those of “widely held public opinion.” I have pushed back on that rationale, given the Court’s function as a countermajoritarian institution. However, these polls even challenge the flawed rationale for court packing.
So Jeffries is promising that the work of James Madison will be undone by the likes of Jamie Raskin and Elizabeth Warren. To have these calls on our 250th anniversary is crushingly ironic. Other leading Democrats have lined up to pledge to fundamentally change the Court, which has played a key role in making this the oldest and most stable republic in history.
It is simply about power. Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder has put packing the Supreme Court front and center, explaining, “[We’re] talking about the acquisition and the use of power if there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028.”.....................SNIP

To be the leader of the leftist mob you have to be the craziest one.
He thinks this crap will get them votes and from another crazy muslim ,LOL
He's gonna need a lot more baseball bats.
Good luck Son.
The “court” today affirmed that Don Trump owes gonzo “journalist” e. Jean Carroll - famous fabricator - $5M for a fantasy encounter back in nobody knows when because she doesn’t.
A court that would uphold a fiction like that is not a court of truth at all, simply a rubber stamp for crooked process.
So maybe letting the Left turn it into a Bolshevik circus is just rewards. Pope Jonny and Sister Amy can look forward to that as their legacy.
Ask Hakeem about his wonderful uncle whom he defended, “Professor” Leonard Jeffries, who blamed Jewish people for starting the AIDs infections and lost his job as a “teacher” at an NYC college.
Sadly it will.
Don't write them off. The leftist base mostly agrees with this crap.
The RATs cheated to win their 2020 coup. Then the Junta tried to kill the Filibuster. Their very first bill after seizing power was nationalizing elections. Thier plot almost succeeded in killing America. If not for two of their own Senators we'd probably be in the fighting phase of a Civil War right now .
The one success the Junta had was its Great Replacement. We are seeing the poison fruits of that now with anti-american politicians getting elected by the anti Americans the Junta packed in.
He looks like he’s missing a chromosome.
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
I guess they will find some EVEN DUMBER THAN KETANJI!!
HAKEEM is a DEI er.
When it comes to King Hakeem I think it will be more like a three foot dildo.
And the President will veto anything and everything this ass sends to him.
He’s got the IQ of a baseball bat
Men, wearing sneakers with formal dress makes you look like a silly little boy.
Another muzzie piece of shiite.
Hakeem might get some respect if he wiped that stupid look off his face. He looks like he’s constantly stoned. All he has to do is drool a little to complete the look.
