WASHINGTON, D.C.—Still reeling from Trump’s previous Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, Democrats plan to scrutinize any new nominee to ensure that he or she isn’t yet another crony of something called “The Constitution,” Senate Democrats announced Friday.

“Time and time again, we find progressive laws getting struck down,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a Senate address. “And it’s always — always — the ones the Constitution is against. These right-wing judges don’t think for themselves, they just do whatever the Constitution says. And it’s time for that to end.”

Senate Democrats have vowed to make sure that any new nominee isn’t going to be beholden to outside influences like the Constitution, the founding fathers, or the rule of law. “We need judges to be advocates of progressive laws,” Senator Elizabeth Warren added. “Not people who will bow to the whims of the Constitution, pitting its extremist values of freedom of speech and freedom of religion against our agenda.”

“We’re sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives, manipulating everything we do,” stated Senator Cory Booker, trying to emote for the cameras but failing. Booker then called a ten-minute recess for him to refresh his supply of fake tears before he could continue.

Asked about their concerns, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he “doesn’t care” and plans to “completely ignore” the Democrats in the nomination process since “there’s nothing they can do” and he is “literally unstoppable.”

I guess some don’t read comments before posting. Even if you don’t know that Babylon Bee is a satire site you would know by reading the comments.

I know it's supposed to be satire however we already have an example in Ruth Bader Ginsburg who at some point during the Obama Administration said US Supreme Court Justices shouldn't only be "bound" by the Constitution - she advocated taking foreign and international law into consideration in court rulings.

I've no doubt she did with her own.

Which goes to prove that FR is infested with people who not only don't read beyond a headline, they don't read a single comment either before they knee-jerk react and make complete fools of themselves.

Those posters are no better than Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/Communists/Socialists/Fascists IMO.

As said, mid-terms will be a referendum for the U.S. Constitution...Progressives do not hold that document dear to their Socialist/Marxist hearts.

Huh ... You call it “satire”. I call it “what the demonicRATs are actually thinking, but aren’t honest enough to say in public.”

Satire is dead.
