CONCHA: Why Do So Many Congressional Democrats Want Biden to Bypass Them?

By Joe Concha

The 1-2-3 haymakers leveled by the Supreme Court last week against the liberal establishment continue to measure high on the political Richter scale.

Affirmative action? Dead.

Student loan forgiveness? Dead.

First Amendment rights for store owners? Alive and well.

Of course, the reactions by many in the media and by Democratic lawmakers have been unhinged. On cue, we’re hearing talk again of expanding the Supreme Court, which would be immediately weaponized by whichever party is in power.

“People don’t have to live under constant fear of the Supreme Court. We can’t sit on our hands while these justices carry out the bidding of right wing organizations,” wrote Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) in a tweet Friday. “Expand the Court.”

“Everything should be on the table: reform and expansion,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) told MSNBC.

The questions asked by those on cable news have only thrown kerosene on this fire. Former Obama “green czar” and current CNN host Van Jones called the Supreme Court “my enemy” while waxing poetic: “The younger generation’s values are being rubbed in the dog poo by the Supreme Court over and over again.”

Print media went all-in on attacking the decisions, led by the Washington Post, which has never endorsed a Republican nominee for president in its history.

“The Supreme Court can save itself from the crisis the justices created,” a headline by the Posts’s editorial board decreed in a piece that called for term limits for Supreme Court members, a position it didn’t seem compelled to discuss when the court was more liberal than conservative.

So, are Democrats and their allies in the media representing what America’s thinking on these recent SCOTUS decisions?

Not even close.
