Thomas Lifson "Possibly the dumbest reaction to the Supreme Court's ruling in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency came from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, although Justice Kagan, who has at least 50 I.Q. points on AOC, gave her some competition.
Just because her side didn't get its way, she wants to destroy the Supreme Court, and possibly the entire Judicial Branch.
Catastrophic. A filibuster carveout is not enough. We need to reform or do away with the whole thing, for the sake of the planet. https://t.co/if8PIbfs42

" 'Reform" in this context means packing the Court by expanding its membership with new appointees who are radical leftists. That would be reversed by the next Republican president and Senate combination, which would, in turn, lead to an endless cycle of court expansion until its membership started to rival that of Congress. The Court would be destroyed — which would amount to "doing away" with it, only without the necessary constitutional amendment necessary to formally abolish the Court.
"For a bit of nostalgia (hat tip: Mike Nadler), consider the reactions to the bien pensants when President Trump criticized court rulings.". . .
