Congresscommie Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (Dumb-NY) and Rep. Ted Lieu (Dumber-CA) have joined forces to issue a letter calling on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (Douche-NY) to say that SCOTUS Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh are liars and while doing so, he should wag his finger at them.
Obviously-Comatose, you may recall, had barely escaped the insurrection on Capitol Hill on January 6th when a man in horns, and others went into the Capitol and walked around. AOC was merely four blocks away and felt her life was in danger for some reason, and she is not a liar when she said that she almost died on that hill.
Anyway, the letter which was addressed to Schumer claimed that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, [both who were threatened with retaliation by Schumer] had lied to the Senate when they said during their respective confirmation hearings that Roe v. Wade was settled precedent.
“Our Constitutional Republic cannot tolerate Supreme Court Justices who lied in order to get confirmed. The legitimacy of the Court is at stake,” Lieu tweeted, sharing a screenshot of the letter. “Letter from @AOC and me requesting the Senate to make a finding on whether Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch lied to the American people.”
AOC shared Lieu’s lie and added her own, saying, “We cannot allow Supreme Court nominees lying and/or misleading the Senate under oath to go unanswered. Both GOP & Dem Senators stated SCOTUS justices misled them. This cannot be accepted as precedent. Doing so erodes rule of law, delegitimizes the court, and imperils democracy.”
“We request that the Senate make its position clear on whether Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch lied under oath during their confirmation hearings,” Obviously-Comatose and Lieu wrote in the letter, adding, “We must call out their actions for what they were before the moment passes so that we can prevent such a mendacious denigration of our fundamental rights and the rule of law from ever happening again.”
But neither Justice lied in their confirmation hearings. Here is Kavanaugh's response regarding the standing of both Roe and Casey. Nowhere did he mention of the decisions being irreversible:
Roe v. Wade “is important precedent of the Supreme Court that has been reaffirmed many times. But then Planned — and this is the point that I want to make that I think is important. Planned Parenthood v. Casey reaffirmed Roe and did so by considering the stare decisis factors,” he said in 2018. “So Casey now becomes a precedent on precedent. It is not as if it is just a run-of-the-mill case that was decided and never been reconsidered, but Casey specifically reconsidered it, applied the stare decisis factors, and decided to reaffirm it. That makes Casey a precedent on precedent.”
And here is what Gorsuch said when recognizing the precedent of Roe and the role Casey played in reaffirming the earlier opinion:
“Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, is a precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court. It has been reaffirmed. The reliance interest considerations are important there, and all of the other factors that go into analyzing precedent have to be considered,” he told senators in March 2017. “It is a precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court. It was reaffirmed in Casey in 1992 and in several other cases. So a good judge will consider it as precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court worthy as treatment of precedent like any other.”
Gorsuch added, “For a judge to start tipping his or her hand about whether they like or dislike this or that precedent would send the wrong signal. It would send the signal to the American people that the judge’s personal views have something to do with the judge’s job.”

So it's clear that the liars are AOC and Lieu because neither Kavanaugh or Gorsuch lied and didn't even mislead. They simply followed the precedent set by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and then followed the law and the SCOTUS's larger precedent for righting wrongly-decided cases once they were confirmed.
Thank you, President Trump.
