Jeffries Calls SCOTUS Justices ‘MAGA Extremists’; Says Congress Must Get High Court ‘Under Control’

Pam Key 24 May 2024

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that the “MAGA extremists” on the Supreme Court must be controlled with a “legislative effort to implement an ethical code of conduct.”

Jeffries said, “This is part of the challenge that we confront with the runaway Supreme Court that appears to want to conduct itself as if the Judiciary is above the law. For years, members of Congress in both the House and the Senate have indicated that it’s time for the Supreme Court to have an ethical code of conduct that is enforceable.”

He continued, “Last year, Chief Justice Roberts did implement a code of conduct, but it appears to be voluntary and is being ignored. And so, as a result of that, the first opportunity that we have in the Congress, I believe we need to have a real conversation about a legislative effort to implement an ethical code of conduct on the Supreme Court that is enforceable. They are the only branch of government currently that can operate with impunity.”

Jeffries added, “Congress has an ethical code of conduct enforceable under law. The executive branch has an ethical code of conduct enforceable under law. We’ve got to get the MAGA extremists on the Supreme Court under control.”

The fascists are desperately trying to destroy the limitations on arbitrary power that the Founders intentionally designed into the system.

..and who would be the MAGA extremists on the Supreme Court?  Roberts? Kavanaugh? Gorsuch? Barrett?  Sotomayor??

What 'ethical code of conduct' is he proposing???  Who would hold those in the Supreme Court accountable?

The leftists/DEMS are threatened at the mere thought of losing power and actually having to recognize the Constitution yet they want to hold accountable those that want to uphold the Constitution?  They have things backasswards.

The entire point of 'separation of powers' is that they not be under your control.

I guess Hakeem missed that part of his high school government class that explains that the Supreme Court was established by Article III of the U.S. Constitution, and NOT Congress, and is a CO-EQUAL branch of government!  Roberts should tell Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse to go pound sand in their own branch for their attack on Alito (but he probably won't).

Article III of the US Constitution.

Hakeem, read the Constitution. What you want is not how the US government works.

This is a leftist myth.  Sure, they blame her now.  But at the time, there was no push for her to retire.  They fully expected Hillary Clinton to be there to fill those seats.  It is their own stupid arrogant miscalculation that did them in, not RBG.

According to many on the Left (NeverTrumpers and Communist freaky weirdos), if you are NOT an antisemitic, transgender, purple-hair, tofu eating gluten free freak, then you automatically default to being a 'MAGA Extremist'. There is no neutrality or subtle nuances of opinion on the Left. You are either an anti-America armed Antifa jack-booted masked and black uniformed thug full of hate and violence, or you are brainwashed into the "MAGA cult" as they call it. (meaning a simple normal American life)

And the very second you stop goose-stepping in lock step with ALL of their mandated enforced opinions, you are an apostate heretic to be burned at the stake.
