The Media Tears Down the Supreme Court - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics "Frantic over the possible end of abortion on demand across America, the media is devolving into throwing doubt onto the legitimacy of the high court, joining Democrats in crafting a narrative that the end of Roe v. Wade could only be engineered by a hijacking of American democracy.
"Chuck Todd of MSNBC, who usually projects himself as measured, said Sunday on Meet the Press that the Supreme Court has a “broken confirmation process, manipulated most recently by Mitch McConnell to manufacture this conservative majority.”
"Joe Scarborough, also of MSNBC, last Tuesday flatly called the draft opinion “an illegitimate ruling by an illegitimate court.”
"When co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Scarborough what the story of the leak meant for the Supreme Court, he responded: “Well, for the Supreme Court, in a word, illegitimacy. You know, the court’s always been guided by the law, but it’s also been keenly aware that it’s the only unelected branch of American government. They needed to not appear to be only contemptuous of public opinion. That would be especially true today, given the GOP’s ‘might makes right’ approach to the sacking of Merrick Garland’s nomination, or the elevation of Donald Trump’s final pick.”
"Scarborough pointed to a picture from former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s funeral that showed President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and former presidential candidate Al Gore sitting in the front row.
" 'The five Democratic politicians on the front row won the most votes in the presidential elections of 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. And yet, a half-century of constitutional rights supported by over 70 percent of Americans … will be swept away by the presidents not in this picture and the presidents who were outvoted in each one of those elections over the last three decades.' ”. . .
