Pelosi attacks US Judiciary branch of government: "They have gone rogue"

Lip locked anger

As we all know, there are three branches of government: the executive branch, currently held by a man suffering from dementia; the congressional branch, composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and the judiciary, which is the Supreme Court comprised of nine justices.

During Donald Trump's first presidency, and hopefully not his last, he appointed three SCOTUS Justices: Neil Gorsuch, 2017; Brett Kavanaugh, 2018; and Amy Coney Barrett, 2020.

As with most justices, their judicial philosophies and decisions often reflect conservative viewpoints, particularly in areas such as individual liberties, regulatory powers, and social issues. Both Coney Barrett and Gorsuch are considered originalists, while Kavanaugh is aligned in that direction but he is also pragmatic in his approach.

The term "originalism" is the judicial philosophy that interprets the U.S. Constitution as it was originally intended to mean or be understood when it was enacted. Thus, the words of the Constitution should be assigned the same meaning as it did when adopted and its interpretation should be grounded in the text itself and the historical context and intent of the framers. Therefore, it limits the role of the Supreme Court and calls for the need for change to come from the legislation or amendments rather than the Court changing the law via judicial interpretation.

Naturally, the judicial philosophy of the Supreme Court with its conservative majority tends to piss off the left, who, when in power, would like to make the rules of the game to their advantage.

Former Speaker of the House, Nancy "Hands-a-Blur" Pelosi (D-CA) had a covert conniption we must assume, when Trump made those appointments to SCOTUS. The ample dentured octogenarian said in an interview on the Communist Network News (CNN) with Anderson Cooper, that the Supreme Court has "gone rogue" when asked about their legitimacy.

Pelosi [aka "Dancing Dentures"] made the remarks Monday night about the judiciary branch of American government because she doesn't agree with their rulings, and anyone who disagrees with her has no right to do so.

“No, I think they have gone rogue. It’s most unfortunate,” she claimed, when asked about their legitimacy. “But it’s unfortunate further to see what the other justices … what happened to the chief justice? Did he go weak or did he go rogue? I don’t know. And that’s the same thing with these members of Congress, if I can take it back to that, because, as tragic as that night was — and they were coming after me to put a bullet in my head. They were going to hang the — have a gallows for the vice president of the United States.”

“So, no, I don’t have confidence in the Supreme Court,” the congresswoman of the failed state of California later added. “I think that some of the decisions they have — see, I respect their point of view. If they have a point of view about a woman’s right to choose, okay, but that’s not what they’re there to do, to advocate for a point of view. Run for Congress.”

She claimed that the justices voted “their opinion on policy” rather than follow “the oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States.”

“I want us to get back to a place where the three branches of government, as our Founders initiated, are respected across the board,” she claimed. “But I don’t have a lot of confidence in this court, unfortunately. I say that with a heavy heart."

The fact that Trump undid Roe v. Wade and gave the power back to the states, thus taking it away from the Supreme Court, shows exactly the opposite claim made by Pelosi. This is why we are a republic as opposed to a pure democracy. But people like Pelosi [aka "The Ice Cream Lady"] want the power of the majority to rule over the minority, even when the difference in number is nearly the same.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." This is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but he probably didn't say it.

Pelosi may not like the existence of protections in the U.S. Constitution and our checks and balances in government, which protects us from the tyranny of the majority, but these safeguards are what makes the country the best we have on earth. We aren't perfect, but we are far beyond what's out there.

MSNBC host thinks rural Americans are a 'core threat' to democracy

MSNBC is not run by the Russian Federation but many think it is. Their host, Joy Reid (whose first name is an oxymoron) believes that rural Americans are "the core threat to our democracy."

By democracy she means the right of the people to shut up the rights of those on the right. By rural she means anyone not living on the coasts or in a major Democratic city. By threat she means the demands by people to fully support the U.S. Constitution.

Reid pointed to a series of tweets by liberal writer Jared Yates Sexton claiming Trump supporters "do not believe in the Constitution or any founding principles unless they're advantageous" as proof of her far left theory.

Conservatives who voted for Trump and others who didn't vote for the top of the ticket, as well as Libertarians who voted for Trump, view the U.S. Constitution as one of the most important documents in existence, right up there with the Bible. 

It's ludicrous to think otherwise.

"By 2040, about 70% of Americans are expected to live in the 15 largest states. They will have only 30 senators representing them, while the remaining 30% of Americans will have 70 senators representing them," MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin tweeted.

Griffin is assuming that when people who live in rural America move to our 15 largest cities, they will all vote Democratic even if they voted Republican before the move. It seems to be his belief that cities make one a liberal--perhaps it's the crime, garbage and bad air.

That's the narrow thinking only a liberal could come up with.

Reid's Twitter finger is probably calloused from all the work it gets. She incessantly tweets against President Trump to the point of not seeing anything positive he does, which is unrealistic. Although Sexton didn't mention "rural minority" in his tweet, Reid took it upon herself to quote him and add her own commentary tied to it. 

She tweeted:

"This is the core threat to our democracy. The rural minority--the people @JYSexton just wrote a long thread about--have and will continue to have disproportionate power over the urban majority."

Reid, who is apparently unaware that we live in a democratic republic, not a simple democracy, said that she would like to see the "abolition of the Electoral College" as a way to fix the issue and get rid of the idea of an equitable representation of all states.

But asking a host from MSNBC to be equitable is like asking ISIS to be nice on Christmas Day.

Joy Reid is a mean spirited, disgusting person. She refers to Trump supporters as "deplorables" because she hasn't had an original thought in her life, which is why she's perfect for MSNBC.

Reid is still livid over Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election and if Donald Trump cured cancer, she talk about how he put oncologists out of work. She said that living in Trump's America [I never knew it was his] is the "worst time to be a human." 

She's lucky on that count.

Thoughtful people cannot take MSNBC seriously, and hopefully, will even see  Fox News through a critical eye.
