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.

Or a promise. Or a you will all come over to the Left side or else. Do it yourself or we will do it for you. They say a word to the wise is sufficient. The Supreme Court Justices are wise if nothing else. They[the Democrats] have plotted ans executed a coup in fact, they are still executing it to dispose of President Trump for the longest and he has done nothing to prevent or stop it. They are getting bolder.
I’m curious as to what the source of authority is that these Senators think they can intimidate Supreme Court Justices to “moderate” their decisions. Please cite in the Constitution your authority. And what makes them think McConnel will go along with it?
lol!
None of these fools has an ounce of credibility with anyone other than the MSNBC / CNN audience.
I think room temperature is sufficient. . . But she may already be there.
Thank you so much, MrEdd! God bless you!
Thank you, familyop!
