The power of the Supreme Court cannot be overstated. That’s what makes this development so jolting.
And the U.S. Supreme Court’s latest news has left everyone’s jaws on the floor.
Over the past few years, Democrats have been desperate to do everything they can to attack the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court since they are not in “control” of that institution anymore.
Before Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett joined the High Court bench, the Democrats were regularly winning many cases that were favorable for their political agenda. Very few went the way of conservatives.
That was largely because Clarence Thomas was the only super strong conservative on the bench. But now being joined by the three Justices who were nominated by Donald Trump, the Supreme Court’s average jurisprudence is much more conservative.
Modern radical Democrats, though, aren’t willing to stand for that. Just consider how Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that a “whirlwind” was coming the Supreme Court’s way if they thought about touching Roe v. Wade, which was eventually overturned.

In recent months, Democrats have been accusing the Justices on the Supreme Court bench of being guilty of ethics violations that have allegedly interfered with the Justices’s ability to rule fairly.
They have no evidence of this of course, but they are doing everything they can to find something.
That’s precisely why Democrats just voted to subpoena a conservative donor and a conservative activist who they say is involved with scandals surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court.
Conservatives were quick to point out that these subpoenas in an attempt to try to dig up dirt on certain Supreme Court Justices may not be legal on a Senate technicality.
“Under the rules, the subpoena is not valid,” U.S. Senator Ted Cruz from Texas said. “The two-hour rule says you have to be concluded with your business, that nothing that happens after two hours is valid. And when they actually issued the subpoena, it was 12:02.”
Furthermore, he noted that the Democrats did not have a quorum for the vote to take place. Instead, Democrats went forward with the vote regardless after Republicans left the room in an attempt to prevent the vote from proceeding.
“Under the rules, they have to have a quorum. We denied them a quorum. Republicans left the room and so when they voted on the subpoenas, there were only Democrats in the room,” Cruz added.

It’s very clear what’s going on here to anyone who doesn’t have blinders on.
The Democrats are very much upset that the conservative Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court bench have strong sway power since they outnumber the liberal Justices 6 to 3.
Even if Democrats got lucky with Joe Biden winning a second term in 2024 and Clarence Thomas stepping down during his second term, that would still not be enough to tip the scales.
So instead of dealing with the consequences of losing the 2016 Presidential election, the Democrats are trying to kick one or more of the conservative Justices from the bench so they can’t stay there for decades longer.
Yet another Democrat witch hunt.
