Democrats warn Supreme Court to 'heal itself' or face restructuring


Top Senate Democrats including 2020 hopeful Kirsten Gillibrand are warning the Supreme Court to stay out of a New York gun case.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., blasted his Democratic colleagues on Wednesday for sending a stern and unusual warning to the Supreme Court earlier this week in connection with a gun case.

Judiciary Committee members Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, and Richard Durbin, D-Ill., along with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., wrote in a brief filed Monday that the "Supreme Court is not well.” They suggested the court “heal itself” or face public pressure to be “restructured.”

Graham said this was a clear reference to expanding the number of justices on the court to make it more liberal.

SENATE DEMS DELIVER STUNNING WARNING TO SUPREME COURT: 'HEAL' OR FACE RESTRUCTURING

“When you hear Democrats talking about expanding the Supreme Court….....they are talking about making the Court more liberal,” Graham said in a Wednesday tweet that linked to a Fox News article about the brief. “This has been a Dream of the Left for decades. I will do everything in my power to ensure that dream is NEVER fulfilled!”..................................

If Jimmy Carter can now say that turdface is illegitimate, and NOT the duly elected president, ALL decisions made by turdface MUST be reversed. Hell, if it happens before January 2021, Hillary should be installed as the duly and rightly elected POTUS.

So what if Leningrad Lindsey has a problem with that, who gives a fuck?

If one of the current democratic candidates took that attack, they could easily become the front runner.

We need to strike fear into turdface, and make him realize HE IS GOING TO JAIL.

Then sit back and watch the meltdown.

If turdface wants to play mind games, let's give them to him.

It only says that there will be one, not how many justices sit on it.
