Former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta spoke with popular podcaster Jennifer Welch, discussing the plans for radical changes after a Democratic takeover this year. Like many Democratic figures, they said that the expansion of the Supreme Court is obvious. The expansion is essential to clear away any restraints on a radical agenda that will include the trial of a host of conservatives, from Trump to the young former DOGE employee who was injured when he came to the rescue of a woman in a carjacking in Washington, D.C.
What was most notable in the interview was the priority of expanding the Supreme Court. Figures like Eric Holder have expressly stated that packing the Supreme Court with a liberal majority will be the priority after any Democratic takeover.
This has long been the plan among far-left figures, but it is now being embraced by establishment figures as essential to securing a radical agenda to achieve lasting power.
Years ago, Harvard professor Michael Klarman laid out a radical agenda to change the system to guarantee Republicans “will never win another election.” However, he warned that “the Supreme Court could strike down everything I just described.” Therefore, the court must be packed in advance to allow these changes to occur.
This week, Democratic strategist James Carville laid out the step-by-step process of how the pack-to-power plan would work.
“I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen,” he said. “A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that. The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court. They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people.”
Acosta and Welch, however, added a Jacobin touch by demanding trials for a wide range of conservative figures — a call that has been echoed by Democratic members promising impeachments and investigations.
Welch, who appears to be auditioning for the role of Madame Lafarge, insisted:
“The blue tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon Musk, ‘Big Balls,’ and a bunch of other people’s a– in front and say, ‘What crimes did you commit?’ And it’s going to get really serious. And the same with Trump because I believe, and this is just my opinion, that Trump and all of the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him and Elon Musk and all the bottom feeding clinger-onners that surround him, I think they commit crimes every day.”
In my forthcoming book, Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, I discuss how elected officials often try to enlist mobs to advance their political agendas — only to be consumed by the unrest they helped fuel. This yielding to a “mobocracy” was one of the critical dangers that the Framers sought to deter through protections against majoritarian tyranny.
What is most notable is the warning to establishment figures who are dismissed as “integrity Democrats” who might be squeamish about doing the things that must be done to political opponents. As always, Welch was the face of unrequited rage:
“And I think to reconcile all of this is going to take hardcore — not ‘integrity Democrats – ‘F–k you Democrats’ … ‘F–k you for f–king over our country.’ We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We’re going to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did. We will be relentless about it. And that’s the mindset they’ve got to have because I think the electorate is going from, ‘We’ve got to get him out, but also we want accountability.’”
With “integrity Democrats” out of the way, the left will be able to change the system to guarantee not just a radical agenda but permanent power, as explained by Klarman. It is a chilling and ironic prospect on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the author of the forthcoming “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution,” which will be released on Feb. 3 as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Public trials, expand the court. How about public executions.
Professor Turley’s “sky is falling” campaign may be good for selling apocalyptic books, but is it grounded in reality? It wasn’t really that long ago that someone in New York who wanted to call someone in California, for example, would have to “place” the call with an operator and hope for a callback. And if Edward R. Murrow or Walter Winchell said something profound on the radio, it had to be true. And we laughed at the truth in jest when Harry Truman said, “My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. To tell the truth, there’s hardly a difference.”
All that’s gone now. We no longer rely on the radio (TV), talking heads like Jim Acosta, or politicians, including the president, to know what’s going on. We have direct and immediate access via that small device we carry in our pockets called the smartphone. Harvard professors like Michael Klarman may say outrageous things and propose all sorts of unconstitutional “remedies” in the name of improving democracy. But we know better.
And, of course, there always will be the small minority of losers and clingons looking to advance themselves by latching on to outrageous people with outrageous thoughts. They perform for the rest of us every day. Every good court must have jesters, or the world would be a boring place. But, when all is said and done, that little device I and millions of others carry will inform my fellow Americans and me what the truth is, and millions of us will make our decisions based on hard cold facts, not fiction, hyperbole, or the delusional hallucinations of some cloistered Harvard law professor.
The government of Greenland announced on Wednesday that it had begun construction in its northernmost region of a maximum-security prison for pedophiles.
The prison, which will house “the worst of the worst,” is a joint venture between Greenland and the nations of the European Union.
A Greenlandic government spokesperson, Hartvig Torkelson, said that the construction of the prison “should not be seen as an act of provocation,” adding, “The only person who could be offended by this would be a pedophile.
wrong thread
I am too old to become a revolutionary, nor do I have the skills to become one, but if the radicals implement their plans as they describe, then a revolt will occur. If I live long enough, then I might be able to watch from the sidelines. But even for those on the sidelines, the effects will be devastating and bloody. The Spanish Civil War of the 1930s here in the USA. A disaster. But the result might be exactly the same. And the Left will pay a price that even they cannot imagine.
So Turley writes about a handful of dunderheads and suddenly the commenters here are prepping for the end of the world.
Lock and Load Babies! it’s time to Get It ON!
I love the smell of napalm roasted Democrats in the Morning,
smells like VICTORY.
If it wasn’t for Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema we would have already been there. The Dems wanted to end the filibuster (which Joe and Krysten stopped) in order to then add 5 new Justices which would have allowed their very first bills to pass. What was in their first bills? Well first of all they wanted to “nationalize” elections, ban any use of IDs at polling stations (that’s right, make it illegal for FL or TX to require an ID to vote) and make mail in ballots being sent to EVERYONE the new norm. They wanted to add Puerto Rico and DC as states thereby giving them 4 new senators. They would have codified counting illegals as residents for redistricting purposes. In other words they would have made it impossible for Republicans to ever win again.
Thank you Joe and Krysten!! But you both should have just switched parties…as should John Fetterman right now.
Sure pal, anything you say.
Folks, humor this nutjob.
NUTJOB ANON!!
Rabble:
And yet, you say nothing to actually refute Mr Hull’s points, merely wallow in your own filth. Hy, you hear that? I think there’s a MN protest calling your name, but inside Target because it’s too cold for your little lungs to get enough air to your neurons.
Oh oh. sumone is really pissed off for being made a fool. And well deserved.
Its hullbobby in his new disguise as an anon.
They succeeded in counting illegals for redistributing purposes, and I think this was upheld by the Supreme Court. That’s why the only way to correct this is to deport the millions of migrants who entered the country illegally under the Biden administration.
I love headlines…
