Ilhan Omar Joins Schumer in War Against SCOTUS with Sexual Predation Claims

Two accused sexual predators should not be deciding whether or not women have access to healthcare in this country. https://t.co/okJE85pwoN

In case you’ve forgotten, both Thomas and Kavanaugh were accused of sexual misconduct at convenient times during their Senate confirmation hearings.

In Thomas’ case, he was alleged to have sexually harassed former assistant Anita Hill.

In Kavanaugh’s case, there were allegations of sexual abuse by Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez. In both cases, the women came forward in the middle of confirmation hearings, which was interesting timing considering both men had been major figures for years.

These accusations, which became political footballs, are materially irrelevant to how either justice rules in the Louisiana case, of course.

They have nothing to do with the law. But Ilhan Omar doesn’t care.

Since the Democrats cannot control the Supreme Court, they’ve decided they’re going to attack, intimidate and destroy it.

These aren’t attacks on the people who voted for these justices’ appointments, mind you.

They’re attacks on the justices.

This is a new phenomenon, the idea that the Supreme Court can be intimidated by outside actors who disagree with the court’s composition and feel any regulation on a woman’s right to have an abortion is a travesty.

So, they threaten the justices.

The Democrats don’t know they’re entering dangerous territory because they assume America will think Trump sui generis; that their behavior is justified because this president’s administration represents a unique danger.

With the Supreme Court, however, any Republican would have presented this danger.

Chuck Schumer would be shaking his fist at Marco Rubio’s nominees, were he the president. Ilhan Omar would still be tweeting the same things.

This isn’t about any especial danger caused by Trump or the justices he nominated to the high court. This is about the fact that a Republican was in control.

In both cases, it’s the lowest form of political discourse — threats and personal maligning. And don’t expect it to stop anytime soon.

At the same time, don’t expect it to affect anything. The founders, bless their souls, made sure the court was a constitutional organ insulated from politicians wishing to smear it. Neither Ilhan Omar nor Charles Schumer can change that.
