This author suggests that Progressives, if they take back the Presidency and the Congress, should disregard any adverse SCOTUS rulings. So while Republicans have had to live by fraudulent SCOTUS rulings while they had the Presidency and both houses of Congress, Progressives shouldn't. This shows not just the hypocrisy of the Left, but also their contempt for the Constitution and the Rule of Law. Leftist progressives really do think that they are above the Law. And they are willing to knowingly create a constitutional crisis in order to get their way. Today's Dems are willing to adopt the ways of past Dem segregationists to thwart SCOTUS rulings.

Today's Dems have already shown that they are willing to disregard federal law. Their "sanctuary" cities and states are expressions of their lawlessness.

I suggest such states/districts lose representation in Congress.

What if Democrats pass Medicare for All, and the Supreme Court strikes it down, with Kavanaugh casting the decisive fifth vote?

AWWWWWWWWWWW!!! How does it feel to realize that law can be overturned from the bench???

These people have no right to write an article imploring the threats of judicial activism! This is what they are all about!!!
Writing an article like this is purely for effect.

“This precedent is appalling.”

Maybe so, but that was the Democrats too.

I welcome resistance to Supreme Court’s decisions. They were never meant to become another legislative branch of Fed.gov

The Left’s power lies solely in government spending and coercion. They have zero power otherwise.

Want to limit the Left? Cut the source of their power - spending and massive debt, in our printed, fiat, manipulated currency

His confirmation ... will plunge the Supreme Court into a legitimacy crisis that could weaken its power over the long term.

Good.

They’re already talking impeachment. But like their empty threats about Trump, you have to ask “for what”? You can’t impeach because of pure partisan politics.

There is no “legitimacy crisis” for SCOTUS.
There wasn’t when Democrats seated several hard-left justices.
There isn’t when Republicans seat several hard-right justices.
Elections have consequences; accept the outcome of elections.

Demonstrate as you like. The only factor that matters is electing representatives, and petitioning them to represent your preferred views. That’s how this system works, and keeps the peace.

Don’t go to “mob rule”.
One mob largely demands, and submits to, arms prohibitions.
Other mob largely rejects, and often ignores, arms prohibitions.
Let’s not go there.

Telling us their plans, knowing that we will forget. Dems won’t forget. They are not going to accept the defeat. They are going to riot in the streets and do everything they can to defy legitimate Republican government.

They think a judiciary that abides by the constitution is “reactionary.”

They be funny.

My concern is how much the left will riot when this thing is settled, and then how much they will riot in November.

Deluded fantasy world the Leftists live in

Sorry Jackasses, you don’t get to pick and choose which laws to obey because you lost an Election.

Rule of law matters and you all are about to get a very stern lesson from US Voters in Nov about how they feel about your infantile clown behavior the last 2 years.

Best news I've heard in a long time. The SCOTUS power-trip needed to lose some steam.

The bureaucracy will become the fourth branch of government, more powerful than the Congress, the non-civil service Executive, and the Judiciary combined.

It’s not hard to envision Democrats marching in the streets, demanding that the president and Congress ignore the ruling.

As long as all they do is march, that is fine. They can demand in one hand and poop in the other....................and probably will.....................
