Commentator Keith Olbermann, angry and crazed as ever, took
to Twitter to slam the Supreme Courthttps://www.washingtonexaminer.com/tag/supreme-court after it struck down a New
York gun control law. Olbermann wrote, "It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States. The first
step is for a state the 'court' has now forced guns upon, to ignore this ruling.”
He added, “Great. You're a court? Why and how do think you can enforce your
rulings?"
A far better question would be, “Great, Keith, you’re a former
sportscaster? Why and how do you think you can enforce your decrees?”
My guess is that Olbermann thinks we need to dissolve
the Supreme Court in order to “save our democracy,” a phrase people who want to
dissolve our democracy often use.
Yes, let’s do away with the Court, the filibuster, the
electoral college, the Constitution, and the First & Second (and maybe a
couple of other) Amendments. If we eliminate all the institutions that were
specifically put in place to protect people’s rights, we would be much better
off. We must save our democracy by eliminating it!
In fairness, I’m sure that Mr. Olbermann’s plan would
be far superior to what the Founders wrought! I’m certain he is far more
schooled in world history, economics, civil law—and, of course, systems of government--
than they were.
The Supreme Court has issued countless decisions over
the years that have been anathema to conservatives, yet conservatives have
never called for packing the court or dissolving it. Or burning it down, for
that matter.
Who are the real enemies of democracy, the actual
tyrants?
Keith, what do you think about the Senate? Perspiring
minds want to know.
