1) AND THIS RIGHT HERE is why the left is not only deranged, but dangerous. We dont even have to look beyond the headline, the wording of the headline itself tells us all we need to know of the left’s opinion. Specifically, one word. ‘Legitimate.’
2) See, the left loves using words like ‘legitimate.’ By saying there is only one legitimate option, by definition all other options become illegitimate.
3) Its a neat little trick; the left has preemptively cast scorn on ANYONE Trumo picks if its not Garland. Not an actual criticism, to note, but scorn, by creating a NEW metric by which to judge SCOTUS picks. ‘Legitimacy.’
4) “But Comrade Fudge, don’t we do the same thing when we use the word constitutional?” Why no, we don’t actually.
5) See, unlike the new metrics created by the left to try to change the rules of the game, constitutionality already exists. It is something that can be measured and judges, and we have a court system that does the judging for us.
6) The left HATES this system, because they can’t control it, and the left is usually quite wrong when it comes to constitutionality. Its a metric that THEY can’t define.
7) When they pull a rabbit out of their ass like legitimacy, they get to define what is legitimate and what isn’t. But constitutionally? No, they can’t.
8) What Cocaine Mitch did was a fantastic display of “Fuck You.” See, there’s absolutely nothing saying that the Senate HAS to approve of an appointment, or even give it any consideration. If there were, Obama could have sued and let the courts decide.
9) Constitutionally, Cocaine Mitch was in the right, and the left doesn’t get Garland, and at this point I’m questioning whether he WANTS the job. Regardless, the left has to pull the legitimacy metric out of its ass, because they can’t do SHIT.
10) But who’s the headline directed at? Its not directed at us. The right can’t be convinced that somehing constitutional isn’t, nor can the right be convinced to adopt the legitimacy metric.
11) Obviously, the headline is pointed at the left, but what’s it trying to do? The left doesn’t need convincing that they want Garland and not whoever Trump appoints.
No, what they need is a casus belli, a cause to take action.
No, what they need is a casus belli, a cause to take action.
12) Michael Moore and his 1 million libtard march to shutdown the government needs a cause to calcify it. Legitimacy. “The legitimacy of the Supreme Court is under attack!”
13) And THIS is why the headline is dangerous. Legitimacy. The Socialist buzzword that lets them take a buzzsaw to the constitution.
14) “The SCOTUS is illegitimate, so we need to change it in some way to fix it!” “The electoral college is illegitimate, so we need to abolish it!” “The constitution was written by white slaveowners 200 years ago, it is illegitimate!”
15) What do dictators like Erdogan and Chavez do the minute they gain power in a democracy? Change the constitution to preserve their power, declaring the previous one illegitimate.
16) Fuck the left. They can shove their legitimate heads up their unconstitutionally large asses. Plenty of room in Michael Moore’s. /end
