"Must rest strained eyes. Roberts' testicles still not found."

When I hear Democrats whine about a duly elected president being a “threat to democracy,” I can’t help but think about a line from “Fight for Your Right” by the Beastie Boys: “Your pops caught you smoking, and he says, ‘No way!’ That hypocrite smokes two packs a day!”
In other words, it’s a bit ridiculous for someone with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth to demand that you refrain from doing the same thing. And this is about as hypocritical as what Democrats are doing when they decry threats to democracy.
When Democrats said democracy would be in peril if President Trump won, they neglected to add that they themselves would be the ones creating that peril under a second Trump presidency.
Think what you will of Trump’s policies — and I like them — he won. He gets to implement as many of them as he can. There is ample precedent for this. Former President Barack Obama made liberal use of his magic “pen and phone” to bypass Congress and create laws on his own — remember the Dreamers? Former President Biden openly mocked the Supreme Court’s ruling on his student loan forgiveness plan while bragging that he would circumvent it. In that light, the allegation is hilarious that Trump is somehow endangering the republic by doing what is clearly within his power.

With cover from the legacy media, it’s working, so far.
Where’s the Republicans Senators and Congress? They just can’t sit back and watch the show.
What are they doing?
Why bother voting for Pres. if judges rule the nation during Repub wins? Funny repubs do NOT do this to them when dems are in charge. Maybe we should start.
What are the GOP Senators doing?
Most likely the exact same thing Chief Justice Roberts is doing. They ALL have their high-power microscopes out and are frantically looking for their own BALLS.
‘Checks and balances’ means that the courts also need to be checked and balanced.
I tend to agree with your low opinion of Republican Senators, but what, exactly, do you expect them to do about judges?
All they can do is remove a judge and then only if they get a dozen or so democrats to agree.
Nah. It’s just a delay tactic.
No it’s not
And the Dems would scream and wail. Hypocrites.
Chief Justice Roberts better jump on his horse if he wants to preserve the historic role of the Judiciary in American democracy.
Trump is moving too fast for the appellate review process to deal with findings by activist judges.
Roberts wants the Presidency to move at a pace that can be effectively reviewed by the courts. Trump sets a policy. Judges check it out. If they have doubts, they take action to slow it down and take a closer look. The Supreme Court referees everything so that the overall system stays on the tracks.
Unfortunately for the keep-everything-on-the-tracks system Trump is too strong and too fast.
Judges speed up in response. Active interference with the Presidency becomes too frequent for effective control by the appeal process. Activist (likely biased) judges enter the spotlight.
Roberts’ control is threatened and possibly even the broad political faith in the judiciary is compromised.
This is Robert job to resolve and he better get on it.
This may be the classic, perhaps earliest instance of a federal judge (a democrat) frustrating the ultimate repository of political power and authority in America: the People.
California Proposition 187 (also known as the Save Our State (SOS) initiative) was a 1994 ballot initiative to establish a state-run citizenship screening system and prohibit illegal immigrants from using non-emergency health care, public education, and other services in the State of California.
Voters passed the proposed law at a referendum on November 8, 1994. The law was challenged in a legal suit the day after its passage, and found unconstitutional by a federal district court on November 11.
In 1999, Governor Gray Davis halted state appeals of this ruling.
They don’t care that judge-shopping is undemocratic. It works, it serves their agenda, so they will keep doing it until they are stopped.
"Must rest strained eyes. Roberts' testicles still not found."
That's another way of saying what I've been saying for years:
Con-Artist Democrats constantly and falsely accuse Republicans of doing what Deranged Democrats themselves are already guilty of perpetrating against the United States.
...which will decrease their popular support even more.The Democrat Party has always been the Party of Hate and Evil. This has always been known. Honest people have always acknowledged it: the party of slavery, the ku klux klan, infanticide, the Trail of Tears, political corruption, et al.
The Democrat Party is also the Party of Stupidity. It follows. Hate and Evil are the ultimate stupidity, and the Democrat Party is the embodiment of all three.
The Raiders of the Lost Ark’s “melting Nazi” is really popular among the far lefties. They’re turning all the cases over to him now.
What we’re looking at now is the DemonRATS’ “How To Steal An Election v.2”
Perhaps but they’re still winning. Seems no one can stop these rogue judges and the Supreme Court is not willing to step in! So damn the constitution and damn the people’s mandate. Benjamin Franklin said it perfectly, “a republic if you can keep it”.These rogue judges and the Supreme Court are tearing apart the constitution. And without that precious paper given to us by our founding fathers who fought for this nation with their own blood, this country is done.
I expect GOP Senators to fight and make noise, shame Democrats. I hate how they are a bunch of whiney Linda’s good for not much more than clutching their Pearls.
For once ACT!!
I’m surprised to see Derek Hunter writing for The Hill. Times are changing?
