U.S. Constitution

Wow.

In an interview with Senator Bernie Sanders on his eponymous show Thursday night, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper encouraged Sanders to expound on his belief that President Biden should invoke the 14th Amendment to bypass Congress in the debt ceiling negotiation. Despite the questionable constitutionality of such a proposal and Biden's rejection of it as an option, CNN continued to promote the 14th…

The Wednesday couch discussion on CNN Tonight tried to tackle the question why America experiences more mass shootings than other countries and naturally settled on gun ownership as the answers. The natural solution was drastic, Australian-style gun control, but host Alisyn Camerota would lament that people keep citing the Constitution to oppose such measures, “that’s what we here all…

For many, the Fourth of July is a time to celebrate the birthday of this great nation and honor the memory of those who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the cause of liberty. Or, if you’re Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman, you may have decided to pen an opinion piece titled, “This July 4, let’s declare our independence from the Founding Fathers.”

For people who spend most of their time warning of the dangers to “our democracy,” media pundits seem to know very little about how the American government is supposed to function. Take MSNBC’s Joy Reid, for example, as she spent the first five minutes of Thursday night’s ReidOut bewailing the numerous monumental cases decided by the Supreme Court this term.

Day two brought a drop in the quantity of post-Roe lamentations from the self-styled comedians of late night, but the lousy quality of legal analysis, civic understanding, and promotion of abortion as a social good continued on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Now that the dust has settled a little bit from the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it’s time for Jennifer Rubin to come out of the woodwork to pen a truly egregious opinion piece for The Washington Post. 

With the Supreme Court’s monumental decision to overturn Roe v. Wade being released this morning, the entire liberal media has entered a collective period of mourning, grief, and anger. One of the first salvos of this predictable keening came from The Washington Post’s Caroline Kitchener, whose…

Even by MSNBC standards, the network’s reaction to the downfall of Roe v. Wade was extreme as they mourned this “very dark day in America.”

After an initially tame reaction the Supreme Court’s ruling that said states cannot prohibit citizens from obtaining a concealed carry permit for self-defense provided they pass all the other criteria, MSNBC went off the rails in the 11:00 hour by warning of more shootings and dead children.

Because the Supreme Court has “court” in its name, most people understand that it is an institution tasked with addressing legal issues, but MSNBC’s Ali Velshi and The New Yorker’s Sheelah Kolhatkar are not most people. On Velshi’s Saturday show, they condemned the Court for “talking about the Constitution” and “the right to life” while ignoring economic statistics.

Shortly after getting in touch with reality for a second and demanding greater domestic oil production earlier in the show on Friday, the cackling coven of ABC’s The View dipped into lunacy as they cheered on justice correspondent for The Nation and staunch racist Elie Mystal and his declaration that the Constitution is “kind of trash.”
