Stung by gun and abortion rulings, Biden undermines Supreme Court in ways unlike predecessors

Two months into his presidency, as he did often on the campaign trial, President Joe Biden asked America to embrace the legitimacy of government.

“Put trust and faith in our government to fulfill its most important function, which is protecting the American people,” the 46th president implored his country in a March 2021 speech on the anniversary of the COVID-19 lockdowns.

On Friday, after being stung by abortion and gun rights rulings by the Supreme Court that he disagreed with, the president changed his tune and launched a verbal assault on America’s judicial branch of government and its iconic marbled court of nine justices.

The president took a blowtorch to the Supreme Court in language clearly designed to undermine its legitimacy. He accused the justices of waging a “deliberate effort over decades to upset the balance of our law" and decried their “extreme and dangerous path", as he insisted the nation’s highest court had made the “United States an outlier among developed nations” by reversing the half-century-old Roe v. Wade decision.

A day earlier, he slammed the court’s verdict that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms extended to carrying in public, calling that decision “unconstitutional.”

In so doing, Biden trampled his own promise to embrace government and the rule of law. He also veered from the civility most presidents and senior political leaders have shown the court, even when it ruled against their wishes.

Barack Obama, for instance, didn’t like the famed Heller gun ruling in 2008 that overturned DC’s restrictive handgun laws, but issued a statement that suggested good people could find common ground in it.

“I will uphold the Constitutional rights of law-abiding gun-owners, hunters, and sportsmen,” Obama said. “I know that what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne. We can work together to enact...”

Seems to me that if this administration doesn’t like what the Supreme Court is doing they should be working with Congress to pass laws or Constitutional Amendments to overturn the rulings.

Pretty simple, actually.

Remember when obama pulled that shit with the SCOTUS justices in attendance at a SOTU?

To this day that still makes my blood boil.

They continue to divide the country.

The SCOTUS judges know what he’s doing. If they aren’t convinced of who is right and wrong, then I’m convinced the whole thing is an act.

It’s so pleasing to see Clarence Thomas assert himself and play such a prominent role in delivering a humiliating public ass-kicking to the corrupt, decrepit old misfit who responsible for overseeing the “high-tech lynching” of Thomas during his confirmation process more than 30 years ago.

And don’t forget how the RACIST Joe Biden fought with everything he had to destroy the Black Justice Clarence Thomas.
Joe Biden = Jim Crow 2.0

Well then we’d better hope and pray for the health and safety of at least 5 members of the Supreme Court, because right now they are all we’ve got.

Yes, he should be supporting the Supreme court decisions unconditionally.
It is the constitution!
He is there to implement it!

“they should be working with Congress to pass laws or Constitutional Amendments to overturn the rulings.”

Navigate within the framework of the traditional (and legal) government and political processes as set forth by our founding fathers???

Why they’d rather set themselves on fire my friend....unless it benefits their agenda and narrative of course.

They hate our country and believe it must be torn down and rebuilt as a socialist society at any and all cost.

obama came right out and said it and nobody paid attention.

Never forget what they believe probably above all else:

“BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY”

You know...there was a time...

Once upon a time...

A President would call for calm regarding court rulings, not enflame the public against the rule of law.

It’s as if the incumbent administration is fomenting insurrection.

Maybe we will get lucky and be able to impeach Joe and the Ho in February 2023.

Anything happens to them the consequences are to be laid right at the feet of the current administration including the (D) ruling party, Hollyweird folks and supporters of Antifa and the riotous BLM.
