“The Court has NO authority in the country except the confidence of the people.”
That was the line, along with one other, that caught my ear this past Sunday while listening to “This Week with George Stephanopolous”‘s “Supreme Court forum” as they discussed not only what had happened during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing but what effect they thought it was going to mean with Kavanaugh being confirmed. The message from the two Progressives, Elizabeth Wydra (President of the Progressive Constitutional Accountability Center) and ABC’s Terry Moran (long time reporter and absolutely a Republican Hater) was that Kavanaugh would severely damage SCOTUS with his elevation. For those of you not intently involved, this is the current screed of the Democrats which you will be hearing now and MUCH more in the future – that SCOTUS has now no longer legitimate because of 1) Gorsuch, 2) Kavanaugh, and 3) Trump. Really, it’s more the case of trying to crudify SCOTUS because with originalists on the bench, their problem is 1) They no longer have the Power, 2) the Court will stick to the Constitution as written instead of finding new Rights and Powers that never had appeared before since it written, and 3) Trump!
From Elizabeth Wydra concerning Kavanaugh:
