“The Supreme Court rules against President Donald Trump sometimes — and that’s OK. But some of the very Republicans who fought for decades to bring the court back in line with constitutional values and the rule of law seem to have forgotten what that long battle was all about. In recent years, the Supremes have weathered a storm of smears and threats from left-wingers aghast at the idea that the judiciary might not accede completely to their wishes. Recall the catastrophic Democratic threats to pack the court that, had they been realized, would have done irreparable damage to the country’s political compact. Somehow that was the least of progressives’ offenses. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer warned Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh that they would ‘reap the whirlwind’ if they didn’t substitute his political preferences for their legal judgments.” (05/19/25)
