The Left has long politicized the U.S. Supreme Court. They can’t stand High Court’s new conservative bench majority.
But now the Supreme Court’s been smacked with massive news that changes everything.
The far-Left billionaire George Soros, has upped his contributions to a left-leaning organization that wants to fill the Supreme Court.
According to The Washington Free Beacon, Soros’ investment shows that leftists are still committed to changing the makeup of the Supreme Court.
According to tax records, Soros-funded foundation Open Society Foundations gave Demand Justice $4.5 million in fiscal year 2021 to “support policy advocacy on court reform.”
When Demand Justice was founded in 2018 to fight the nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Soros paid it $2.5 million. That sum was almost double that amount.
Demand Justice is “working to restore balance to the courts by reforming the Supreme Court, expanding the circuit and district courts, and championing new judges with experience as public defenders, civil rights lawyers, legal aid lawyers, and labor lawyers who represent working people” according to the organization’s website.
The confirmation of conservative Associate Justices Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, Democrats’ failure to end the Senate filibuster, and the overturning of the Roe v. Wade ruling, which had legalized abortion in all 50 states, are just a few of the major setbacks that progressives have experienced recently.
However, Demand Justice did not give up and called for rallies when the Supreme Court’s last term’s momentous decisions on abortion and Second Amendment rights were handed down.
Demand Justice Executive Director Brian Fallon advocated for the dismantling of security fencing surrounding the Supreme Court after a draft of the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling was leaked, allowing demonstrators to call for “more accountability” from the justices.
In a tweet from May, Fallon praised the “SCOTUS leaks are good,” “Elite lawyers on both the left and right treating the Court as precious all these years have just been giving cover to an institution that is wholly unaccountable. Rip the veil off.”
Following the Dobbs opinion leak, threats against Supreme Court justices intensified. A man was detained outside Kavanaugh’s house and confessed to having planned to kill the justice.
Fallon, a former press secretary for Hillary Clinton, pushed Democrats to increase the Court’s seats when the high court’s Dobbs ruling, which overturned Roe, was announced and described to the conservative majority as “illegitimate.”
Soros’ Sixteen Thirty Fund is in charge of Demand Justice, which doesn’t reveal who its funders are.
According to Fox News, Open Society also gave $35 million in 2021 to organizations supporting the defund the cops movement.
The American public constantly has to hear from Leftists all over the Fake News Media that conservatives are “election deniers” and “anti-democracy.”
And yet, it’s the Left who refuse to accept that there were consequences to Hillary Clinton losing the 2016 election.
One of those consequences was Donald Trump getting the chance to nominate three Supreme Court Justices, which were all nominated.
Sadly, the Left has resorted to intimidation tactics since there’s nothing they can do about the Supreme Court’s conservative majority.
That’s what we saw with the leaking of the Dobbs decision that saw Roe v. Wade effectively overturned.
It’s not just random people attempting to intimidate the Supreme Court either. The Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer himself said that the conservatives on the bench will “pay the price” and that they “won’t know what him them.”
