The progressive caucus in Congress is reacting outlandishly to recent Supreme Court rulings, including the student debt ruling and the religious liberty ruling. Of course, thrown in on top of that is Dobbs. Always Dobbs.
The funny thing about the student loan ruling is that before Biden even did it he said he didn’t think he had the power to do it. But he did it anyway for political reasons. Now that it’s overturned they’re shocked, SHOCKED, that the court found it unconstitutional.
That’s all a ruse. And as to religious liberty, what person thought that in America you could force a religious person to go against their religion? This would be like being able to walk into a bakery owned by a black guy and demanding he bake you a KKK cake. Of course, he would have every right to refuse you service. Who would argue against that? Nobody. And the right to religious liberty is specifically enshrined in our founding documents.
But that doesn’t stop the left from calling the court illegitimate. They want investigations and subpoenas to intimidate the justices. They want to hastily add justices to the court to get their way.
The Democrats are already allowing protesters to protest at the homes of the justices, even though it is against the law. They don’t care about the law. They want their way.
Yes, they want a banana republic. These people are dangerous.
POLITICO: House progressives are calling for changes to the Supreme Court following a slate of decisions affecting affirmative action, student debt cancellation and LGBTQ protections.
“The courts, if they were to proceed without any check on their power, without any balance on their power, then we will start to see an undemocratic and, frankly, dangerous authoritarian expansion of power in the Supreme Court,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Ocasio-Cortez has called for changes to the high court, including expanding the number of justices on the bench. In ending federal abortions rights last year, and landing a blow to LGBTQ protections in a decision out Friday, the court is signaling “a dangerous creep toward authoritarianism,” she said.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), another prominent House progressive, also slammed the Supreme Court’s recent rulings on Sunday, saying if the court were a caucus in Congress, would be the “bootstrapper forced to birth don’t say gay caucus.”
“They continue to overturn the will of the majority of the people and to make history for all the wrong reasons, legislating from the bench and being political from the bench,” Pressley said during an interview on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show.” “It is nothing but intersectional oppression,” she added.
Both members of Congress said that every option should be on the table when it comes reining in the court’s power and reforming its ethics.
“We should be considering subpoenas and investigations. We must pass much more binding and stringent ethics guidelines,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“I think everything should be on the table,” Pressley said when asked whether she supports adding more seats to the nine-justice bench. “[Here’s] a Supreme Court that has been emboldened in rolling back the hands of time, undermining and rolling back what should be fundamental civil human rights. So everything should be on the table: reform and expansion.”
Everything should be on the table. Riots? How about burning some buildings down, y’know peacefully? Y’know just like it was ok to vandalize and torch all those pregnancy clinics and churches.
