THE COURT AND ITS HYPOCRITICAL CRITICS

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 13, 2023

    HAVE YOU NOTICED THE REACTION BY THE LEFT TO RECENT SURPREME COURT DECISIONS? SOME SAY THE COURT IS NOW ILLEGITIMATE. OTHERS SAY THERE SHOULD BE TERM LIMITS FOR JUSTICES. STILL OTHERS WANT TO EXPAND THE COURT BEYOND NINE MEMBERS.

    THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON POST HAVE DONE HIT PIECES ON CLARENCE THOMAS AND SAMUEL ALITO. THESE ARE NEWSPAPERS WHOSE EDITORIALS AND NEWS COVERAGE FULLY SUPPORTED THE COURT’S RULINGS ON PRAYER, ABORTION AND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE… THEY AGREED WITH THE LIBERAL COURT THAT ALL OF THOSE RULINGS WERE SOMEHOW CONSTITUTIONAL.

    NOW THAT THE CURRENT COURT HAS A CONSERVATIVE – THAT IS TO SAY – CONSTITUTIONAL MAJORITY, IT IS SOMEHOW A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.

    THEIR ATTITUDE EXPOSES HOW THE LEFT HAS USED THE COURT SINCE THE 1960S TO GET RESULTS IT KNEW IT COULDN’T GET THROUGH CONGRESS. THOSE LIBERAL COURTS READ INTO THE CONSTITUTION THINGS THAT WEREN’T THERE. THEY MADE LAW, WHICH IS THE JOB OF CONGRESS.

    IT WOULD BE AMUSING, WERE IT NOT DANGEROUS, TO WATCH THE LEFT WRING THEIR HANDS AND REVEAL THE DOUBLE STANDARD THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD. THE JUSTICES NEED TO BE SUPPORTED TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION AS IT WAS WRITTEN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
