SCOTUS is a hot button topic these days. Democrats are almost totally against the high court.
And the Supreme Court has been accused of a disturbing crime by this leftist.
On Monday’s episode of MS NOW’s The Beat, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean unleashed a tirade against the Supreme Court.
He accused the justices of inventing legal theories simply to empower President Donald Trump.
Host Ari Melber pressed Dean on the idea of deterrence and corruption in politics.
Melber asked whether courts might finally draw a line against wrongdoing. Dean’s response painted a picture of a judicial system hijacked by conservatives.
“I think it’s bald partisanship in the courts. If you get right-wing people in a certain circuits, Trump gets what he wants. And that was designed,” Dean responded.
“That’s been a 20-year effort on the part of the right wing with billionaires, participating in recruiting right-wing judges and ramming them through, as the leader of the Republican Party did in the Senate. And so they’ve manipulated the judicial system to get the results that they want.”
This attack comes as no surprise from the left. For years, establishment Democrats have watched their grip on power slip away.
Now they turn their fire on the very institutions that check executive overreach when it suits their side.
Dean continued his assault, claiming the Court relies on “crackpot theories.”
“But there are some very good judges and thoughtful judges, including some Trump is appointed. They must have gotten through a screening somehow, because he doesn’t believe in competent people. He only believes in obedient people,” he stated.
“So I don’t give up on the judiciary. But I do think it’s broken. Because the Supreme Court has invented these crackpot theories like unitary presidency.”
“You know, all this stuff to basically let Trump do whatever he wants. They’re just making this stuff up, and that’s what they got put there to do over the years.”
The irony drips thick here. Democrats spent decades stacking the federal bureaucracy and courts with loyalists who advanced progressive causes.
When voters chose Trump to challenge that machine, suddenly originalist judges become the villains.
