There Are Five Assholes On The Supreme Court Who Are Far More Dangerous To America Than Bin-Laden Ever Was

>



Miss McConnell has his panties all in a bunch over the outrage he perceives of President Obama chastising the most politicized and most corporately-orineted Supreme Court in American history. He didn't advocate lining them up against a wall and shooting them for their treason and their treachery against American working families. He appealed to them to keep American families foremost in their minds, not the self-serving-- even selfish-- corporate managers who have bankrolled their cushy careers.

“The president crossed a dangerous line this week. And anyone who cares about liberty needs to call him out on it," he lisped at a Rotary Club meeting. But as Brian Beutler and Sahil Kapur put it at TPM Friday morning, "[i]f the week of April 2, 2012, goes down in political history, it’ll be for the fact that Republicans suddenly rediscovered their reverence for the third branch of government."

Watch the video above for a mash-up TPM did of prominent Republicans doing exactly what was sending Miss McConnell to his smelling salts about. "Judges ought not to take the place of the legislative branch of government," growled McConnell's favorite president, George W. Bush. “If you think activist judges should be allowed to redefine our country and issue new laws for the bench, vote Democrat. But if you believe the role of the judge is to strictly interpret the Constitution and leave the legislating to the legislators, vote Republican.” Confusing. But not to John McCain:
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said “activist judges” assume the judiciary is “a super-legislature of moral philosophers entitled to support Congress’s policy choices whenever they choose.” He said the Constitution “solely tasks the Congress with creating law, not the courts.” Years earlier he said a spate of attacks on courthouses might be linked to overzealous judging. “I don’t know if there is a cause-and-effect connection, but we have seen some recent episodes of courthouse violence in this country. … And I wonder whether there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters, on some occasions, where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public, that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in, engage in violence. Certainly without any justification, but a concern that I have.”

And that wasn't McCain's only concerned. Exactly one week ago Ira Glass closed out his epic program on how corporations have-- thanks to the 5 assholes on the Supreme Court-- been able to buy out American democracy for their own purposes with an interview with Senator McCain. We embedded the entire show here and at the 50 minute mark McCain got all worked up over the perfidy, not of the liberals-- there are no liberals; the mainstream moderates is what they are-- on the Supreme Court nor of the Court in general, but squarely of the 5 assholes. He had been speaking, angrily, about how Romney was illegally coordinating between his campaign and the SuperPAC that has spent tens of millions of dollars to tear down Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Bachmann and the rest of the GOP field and is flinging the same kind of bullshit against the president now. "The joke that they are not coordinating with the campaigns; it's beyond ridiculous. People who are part of their campaigns go over to run the PAC, but they're not coordinating anything," he smirked sarcastically. "Don't get me wrong-- gambling is not taking place in this establishment. [giggles and snickers] It's beyond belief."
"First, I was outraged. The day that Russ [Feingold] and I went over and observed the arguments/ The questionsthat were asked! The naivete of the questions that were asked! And the arrogance of some of the questioners was just stunning, particularly Scalia, with his sarcasm. [McCain does his nasty Scalia impression:] 'Why shouldn't these people be able to engage in this process? Why do you want to restrict them from their rights of free speech?' And the questions they asked showed they had not the slightest clue as to what a political campaign is all about... and the role of money, that it plays in political campaigns, And I remember when Russ and I walked out of there, I said, 'Russ, we're going to lose and it's because they are clueless.'"

Please God, no one play that for Miss McConnell; he's liable to drop dead on the spot-- negating the whole purpose of the SuperPac-- uncoordinated of course-- he formed for himself this month.
Contacted by The Hill about the super-PAC, Hughes provided a statement from Justin Brasell, who ran McConnell’s 2008 reelection campaign. 

“Bluegrass Votes plans to make independent expenditures to support Senator Mitch McConnell's upcoming reelection campaign next cycle," Brasell said in the statement.
