Senate Democrats Demand Supreme Court Nominee Not Be Unduly Influenced By U.S. Constitution

Senate Democrats Demand Supreme Court Nominee
Not Be Unduly Influenced By U.S. Constitution
June 29, 2018



WASHINGTON, D.C.—Still reeling from Trump’s previous Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, Democrats plan to scrutinize any new nominee to ensure that he or she isn’t yet another crony of something called “The Constitution,” Senate Democrats announced Friday.

“Time and time again, we find progressive laws getting struck down,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a Senate address. “And it’s always — always — the ones the Constitution is against. These right-wing judges don’t think for themselves, they just do whatever the Constitution says. And it’s time for that to end.”

Senate Democrats have vowed to make sure that any new nominee isn’t going to be beholden to outside influences like the Constitution, the founding fathers, or the rule of law. “We need judges to be advocates of progressive laws,” Senator Elizabeth Warren added. “Not people who will bow to the whims of the Constitution, pitting its extremist values of freedom of speech and freedom of religion against our agenda.”

“We’re sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives, manipulating everything we do,” stated Senator Cory Booker, trying to emote for the cameras but failing. Booker then called a ten-minute recess for him to refresh his supply of fake tears before he could continue.

Asked about their concerns, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he “doesn’t care” and plans to “completely ignore” the Democrats in the nomination process since “there’s nothing they can do” and he is “literally unstoppable.”

that would be funny if it was a cartoon strip

I'll stop there

The Dems hate the constitution almost as much as most church people hate the bible.

I just wonder what the real story would be, without the spin. The "reporter" seems to have a VERY strong bias when writing this story.

Good for you. The OP intentionally made the font of the source of this article as small as possible so we'd not notice it is not a real headline. It is Satire from the Babylon Bee site.
The Democrats are bad but they're not that bad.

The sole purpose of the Supreme Court is to interpret the Constitution in regards to the cases they allowed to be presented before them. Without the Constitution no citizen would have any rights that are protected by law. The Democrats have hit a new low impossible as it seems.

You are correct, this is from the Babylon Bee. They have wonderful satirical religious and political pieces, some being pretty heavy on the truth and lighter on the satirical elements (like this one is), so it's a little more difficult to distinguish from other "news" "Truth that stings" is the Bee's theme, I believe.

If anyone is interested, here's one of my Bee favorites that is heavier on the satire/humor and yet, it still "stings" (if you remember what was going on in Houston a little while ago): https://babylonbee.com/news/joel-os...ht-flooded-houston-pass-copies-best-life-now/
