Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had a meltdown when talking about the Supreme Court.
The former Speaker appeared on CNN and spoke to anchor Anderson Cooper when she attacked the court.
“Do you have confidence in the Supreme Court? I mean, the — they have yet to rule on this immunity thing, all this thing about Alito and the flags, and Clarence Thomas and his wife. I mean, do you have confidence in the Supreme Court?” the anchor said.
“No, I think they have gone rogue. It’s most unfortunate,” the former Speaker, who has warned of the dangers of attacking our institutions, said.
“But it’s unfortunate further to see what the other justices — what happened to the — what happened to the chief justice? Did he go weak or did he go rogue? I don’t know. And that’s the same thing with these members of Congress, if I can take it back to that, because, as tragic as that night was — and they were coming after me to put a bullet in my head. They were going to hang the — have a gallows for the vice president of the United States,” she said.
“But just a matter of hours, when I called people back to the floor, overwhelmingly, the Republicans voted against the results of the Electoral College. That was almost as heartbreaking and devastating as to see what those slobs that came in with their Confederate Flags and their Nazi flags and the rest of what they came in to do to the Capitol of the United States,” the former Speaker said.
“So, no, I don’t have confidence in the Supreme Court. I think that some of the decisions they have — see, I respect their point of view. If they have a point of view about a woman’s right to choose, OK, but that’s not what they’re there to do, to advocate for a point of view. Run for Congress. They’re there to uphold the Constitution of the United States. And many of them said — in their hearings for confirmation, they said that they supported, they supported the precedents of the court, the precedents of the court, supported the privacy in the Constitution,” the California representative said.
“And what did they do? They vote their opinion on policy, rather than the oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States. So, I want us to get back to a place where the three branches of government, as our founders initiated, are respected across the board. But I don’t have a lot of confidence in this court, unfortunately. I say that with a heavy heart,” she said.
