Will Supremes Ever Play Constitution Card?

Letter to Romans: Supreme Court Justice Samul Alito warned that Congress could defund the nation’s highest court & hamstring its ability to do its job? Well, not if Alito et al read the Constitution again & find the proverbial cajónes to work by candlelight like their legal ancestors did …

Spare us the “victimhood” card, Mr. Justice, which has been claimed ad nauseum by our executive and legislative branches. According to The Hill, not only did Alito warn against congressional Supreme Court meddling but recently told the Federalist Society at its Antonin Scalia Memorial Dinner some lower court judges “have gone far astray.” You think? And, what have the post-Scalia Justices done to reign in those rogue trial & appellate judges; that is, besides making speeches or meekly issuing follow up rulings without sanctioning the scofflaws?

There’s no doubt the DSA-emboldened Democrats are threatening all sorts of legislative shenanigans trying to intimidate the Justices into doing their bidding. It’s called extortion. It was tried by President Trump and his bitching over a few Supreme Court rulings that went against him last year is a bellwether for how well that cynical tactic would work for the similarly meddling Democrats in the next two. Yeah, the Dems could also try to stack the Court or impose term limits. BUT, again, only fools can’t see that those kinds of cynical “reforms” would boomerang badly on its authors in the future. Do the Justices have to be reminded that THEY hold the most powerful card of all against its detractors? It's called THE CONSTITUTION CARD.
