Blumenthal: Dems Need to ‘Put the Supreme Court on the Ballot,’ Blame GOP for Justices with No Decency
Breitbart ^ | 05/17/2024 | Pam Key

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Democrats need to make the Supreme Court an election issue.

Blumenthal said, “What I think we need to do now is put the Supreme Court on the ballot, say that membership on the Supreme Court is going to be a lasting impact of this election, and that the choices as to who will replace the current justices likely will be made by the next president. The choices we make in this election will determine whether or not the Supreme Court really reflects America. As to its plummeting support in the American public, you know, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally anti-democratic institution, chosen by a president, elected by no one, sitting for life. If it begins losing trust, as it’s doing, it will be very, very difficult for it to recover. But we need to make sure that there is support for a Supreme Court that would reflect America’s basic values.”

Remember how concerned Blumenthal was when liberals outnumbered conservatives on the Supreme Court? Me neither.

The people behind them are smart, but the Senators and Reps, and mayors and Governors are dumb as rocks..

Some truly make your point, such as Sheila Jackson Lee and former sen Barbara Boxer. (And on our side, Matt Gaetz).

That said, many if not most are intellectually gifted, and yet remain as true and obedient believers of the leftist dogma. It's a religion and logic, history, and a study of human nature has little apparent effect.
