President Biden\u2019s attacks on the Court are unmerited and dangerous. My full statement: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FA2g4j7e8T\">https:\/\/t.co\/FA2g4j7e8T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1542533744086732800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The leading Republican went on to criticize Biden for claiming the court is somehow destabilizing democracy by kicking abortion restrictions back to the states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s upset that the Court said the people, through their elected representatives, will have a say on abortion policy,\u201d McConnell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.republicanleader.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/mcconnell-another-dangerous-attack-on-the-supreme-court?peek=UbDHEs9jnA7fyCpP7RHqhczswF4G\/I9SfAWV392l9MK07MZ6\">said<\/a> in a Thursday press release. \u201cThat does not destabilize democracy \u2014 it affirms it. By contrast, it is behavior like the President\u2019s that undermines equal justice and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The minority leader also took a shot at the president\u2019s poor maintenance of the economy, accusing Biden of \u201cblame shifting\u201d as a distraction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President launched this inappropriate attack when he was asked about whether or not we are on the right track as a country,\u201d the statement said. \u201cThe President needs to take a look in the mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Supreme Court isn\u2019t responsible for inflation, high gas prices, crime in the streets or chaos at the border. He is,\u201d McConnell asserted. \u201cNo amount of blame shifting on the global stage will change that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many Democrats have harshly criticized the Court and even lobbied for extensive changes to the Supreme Court as an institution since the overturning of<em>\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em> on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many called for impeachments, court packing, and \u2018disciplining\u2019 justices,\u201d Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/supreme-courts-term-ends-with-political-media-leaders-questioning-legitimacy-alarming\">outlined<\/a> at Fox News. \u201cWhat is chilling, however, is that these calls have not come from extremist groups but political and media figures who are challenging the very \u2018legitimacy\u2019 of the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turley outlined two extremely progressive Democrats working to allegedly delegitimize the court:<\/p>\n<p><em>Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, has declared the Supreme Court illegitimate and has called to pack the Court\u00a0for rending opinions against \u201cwidely held public opinion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., even questioned the institution\u2019s value: \u201cHow much does the current structure benefit us? And I don\u2019t think it does.\u201d She has now demanded the impeachment of Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch based on the entirely false claim that they lied under oath in their confirmation hearings. After the Dobbs decision, Ocasio-Cortez demanded \u201cthere must be consequences\u201d for the Court.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/senate-sergeant-at-arms-during-jan-6-found-dead-had-suggested-professional-agitators-were-to-blame\">Senate Sergeant-At-Arms During Jan. 6 Found Dead; Had Suggested \u2018Professional Agitators\u2019 Were To\u00a0Blame<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Thursday ripped into President Joe Biden for his attacks on the U.S. Supreme Court, accusing the president of acting beneath the \u201cdignity\u201d of the office and \u201cblame shifting\u201d for the floundering economy and chaotic situation at the border and in American cities.
