Sigh…
A majority of Democrat voters believe the Supreme Court is a racist, sexist institution that ought to be abolished, according to a new poll commissioned by the Heartland Institute. And in a clear threat to the court's future, almost as many young people aged 19 to 39 feel the same way.
The national survey of 1,025 US voters split strongly down party lines, with 53% of Democrats in favor of abolishing the current Supreme Court and replacing it with a "new, democratically elected . . . court with justices chosen by the American people directly," and 33% "strongly" in favor. Just 21% of Republicans and 38% of independents favored the proposition.
This is the exact reason our checks and balances were designed the way they were.
On one hand, the Founders wanted to protect against the tyranny of the one - you know, some old dude who fancies himself a king and rules by executive order.
On the other, there was the tyranny of the majority, where the pitchfork mob decides what justice is and heaven help you if you get in the way.
The system is designed to ensure no one person, party, state, branch of government, or group can wield power over everyone else.
A majority (54%) of young people aged 19 to 39 wanted the court abolished. Overall, just 37% of total voters agreed, according to the Rasmussen poll conducted on July 6 and 7, almost two weeks after the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v Wade decision on abortion.
While 67% of Democrats believe the court is a "fundamentally sexist institution that favors men over women," just 18% of Republicans and 36% of independents agreed.
Fifty-six percent of Dems also think it's racist (what with only a Hispanic woman and two black individuals on the Court).
People like this think they are enlightened, but they are actually closer to the mobs in Pakistan that demand execution for the slightest rumors of religious blasphemy.
Here's the worst part:
Fifty-five percent of young voters favored stacking the court, 54% wanted it abolished and 48% were in favor of the UN overruling the court.
"More than a half-century of liberals running America's K-12 schools and colleges has clearly paid off," said [said Justin Haskins, the Heartland Institute's Editorial Director].
That about sums it up. 🤦♂️
