McCarthy described the Judiciary Act of 2021 as an attempt to “dismantle” the United States, rather than respect the Constitution. The GOP leader also informed that Democrats’ work to pack the Supreme Court speaks to how extreme the party has become; McCarthy told Fox Business that elected Democrats today are no longer the moderate leftists of the past.
Finally, the House Minority Leader stated that adding four new liberal justices to the Supreme Court is all about Democrats taking more control. McCarthy then declared that he never expected Democrats to take things this far.
Further Fallout from Legislation to Pack the Supreme Court
In the past, Democrats have spoken out against packing the Supreme Court; even President Biden and the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg previously stated their own oppositions against adding new justices to the Supreme Court.
Democrats have considerably changed their tune. Right now, the left has the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. This isn’t enough for Democrats, though; now they want total control of the Supreme Court as well.
