Senate Dems deliver stunning warning to Supreme Court: ‘Heal’ or face restructuring
Fox News ^ | 13 August 2019 | By Ronn Blitzer

Posted on 08/13/2019 12:19:10 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future.

The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction which must be remedied.

"The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it," the brief said. "Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be 'restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'"

The last part was quoting language from a Quinnipiac University poll, in which 51 percent favored such restructuring. In the same poll, 55 percent believed the Supreme Court was "motivated by politics" more than by the law.

They never really “lose” elections. It’s just that the RAT arm of the UniParty gets frustrated with the GOPe arm of the UniParty because they don’t move fast enough for them. It’s all just one big merry party that feasts off the “unwashed masses”. We are nothing but cattle to them...to be milked every April 15th.
They’re gonna keep pushing till one day their bluff is gonna be called...and it ain’t gonna be pretty....for them.

Do you really think so...WHO IS GOING TO CALL THEIR BLUFF? WHO IS CALLING IT NOW? CAUSE THEY ARE WAY PAST THE FOUL FOUL LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears to be a demand from a few northeastern foreigners for our Supreme Court to participate in an organized crime activity. High profile Democrats of recent foreign descent have stated their intentions in many ways to overthrow our government and change it into a hard socialist dictatorship. It seems that they retained their very recent ancestors’ corrupt ideologies from eastern and southern Europe.

So if you believe that Dim nonsense, then you believe the “gay” marriage SCOTUS decision was NOT motivated by politics.

Democrats thy name is HYPOCRITE.

"Have you run out of letters or something?"

Every frequent reader of FR has seen "SMH" many times. There's no sense in singling out one person with nagging at this late date.

That said, I don't care for so many frivolous acronyms being slung around the Net. But if we're going to deal with it, it should be done in regards to every instance of acronym frivolity and excess.

The judiciary in this country does need to be reigned in. The courts were never meant to be this powerful. There never should have been all the screaming/arguing over a Supreme Court nominee (Kavanaugh, etc.), but that’s the nature when they keep sticking their noses into hot-button issues such as abortion and gay marriage rather than letting the legislatures do their jobs.

...to reduce the influence of politics.’”

That is too funny to comment on. I suspect the Court will be better when Ruth Bader-Meinhof attains ground temperature.

I’m waiting for Judge Roberts to lecture them on the independence of the judiciary just like he did Trump.

Waiting...

The supreme court gets to heal every time one of the leftist cronies leaves.

"Bfac is a lazy lying piece of flotsam.

That's quite an accusation and insult against BlackFemaleArmyColonel, but we don't see any evidence to support it here. Do you disagree with the content of the posted article excerpt? It does make some Democrats look like criminals.

How should other onlooking subscribers like ourselves react to such cryptic flames?

The combined IQ of that batch of Senators is barely into double digits.

Those are just a little bump in the road to be ignored by the left.

Pretty much like the rule of law applying to the Clintons.
