Senate Democrat Uses Texas School Shooting To Push For Packing The Supreme Court (ED MARKEY, MA)

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) used the horrific shooting that took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, to argue that one way to prevent more school shootings was to pack the Supreme Court.

Markey began by calling for gun control — as have a number of his Democratic colleagues and even President Joe Biden — and then immediately pivoted to argue that the only way to ensure that gun control laws would not face a challenge or even face the possibility of being overturned was to add at least two justices to the Supreme Court.

“Ed Markey uses the Texas shooting to … attack the Supreme Court and push for court packing. If you’re one of the people who wants Washington to ‘do something,’ on gun violence look at people like Ed Markey who want to shift the debate to every other political goal they have,” Matt Whitlock tweeted, along with video of Markey’s comments.

“We have to take very seriously the threat, which an illegitimate, far-Right Supreme Court poses to gun safety in our country,” Markey said, going on to claim that former President Donald Trump had “stolen” two Supreme Court seats and, in doing so, had rendered the Court “illegitimate.”

“We have to expand the Supreme Court to get back the two stolen seats that the Republicans and Donald Trump took from the American people, so that we can ensure that when we put gun safety laws on the books, they are not overridden by the Supreme Court

They have been waiting for something like this to happen for so long now, because they’re failure of a president hasn’t done justice for their party.

OK. I just saw a clip of Markey. He is worse than a waste of space, much worse.

Markey has been useless as a Senator. Now, he is good at packing. It’s why he walks with a lisp

Every time one of those morons opens their yap, I’m happy that I was able to escape that third world hell hole and sought political asylum in the south.

Ed Markey, the accidental senator.

He’s a RINO, but if Scott Brown had played his cards right, should have had this seat.

Beto O’Kennedywannabe: GFY. Sideways.

I don’t feel sorry for democrat senators. They had 60 seats during obamas first term. They could have passed anything they wanted but didn’t. I wish republicans would remind voters of this.

“Ed Markey, the accidental senator.”

Is this the guy whose first job was operating an ice cream truck?

Before the bodies of the little children were cold, creepy democrat thugs were plotting ways to use the deaths to acquire more power for themselves.

May they rot in hell..

And like a dog with a bone they will beat this horse to death.

Stinking communist bastards never miss an opportunity to further their goal of absolute tyranny...

Just more proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...

Good citizenship would seem to require that true Americans should help Aamerican communists to be the best that they can be...
