1/10 @JudiciaryDems and @SenWhitehouse hold hearing Tues. on Supreme Court ethics.Don’t be fooled. I testified last week at House Judiciary Committee -this is really about undermining confidence in Supreme Court now that there is a conservative working majority. @SenJudiciaryGOP

2/10 Critics of Supreme Court ethics/recusals say action to reform is needed because Court approval only at 40%. But Congress approval at 27%. Lower than @POTUS! Congress should focus on issues American people care about: High Inflation, Illegal Border Crossings, Crime.

3/10 From my testimony last week: “Confidence in the Court is undermined by the coordinated campaign by the corporate media and Democrats to smear conservative Justices with the goal of delegitimizing the Court.”

4/10 “If you think this is hyperbole, perhaps a brief reminder is in order. Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court in March 2020 directly threatening Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch as the Court heard oral argument on an abortion case.”

5/10 @SenSchumer said: “I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

6/10 “Less than a year earlier, @SenWhitehouse, the lead Senate sponsor of this proposed legislation, filed an amicus brief in a 2nd Amendment case pending at the Supreme Court, where he threatened that the Court better drop the case or face the consequences.”

7/10 @SenWhitehouse wrote: “The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.’”

8/10 Democrats/allies in corporate media also have ginned up baseless ethics attacks on Justice Thomas. “The Left hates Justice Thomas because he is a black conservative who has never bowed to those who demand that he must think a certain way because of the color of his skin."

9/10 At last week’s hearing, Rep. Jeffries asked me for evidence for this statement. Here is my response:

10/10 Hearing is continuation of attack to delegitimize Supreme Court and to intimidate the Justices. @SenJudiciaryGOP should call this out for what it is.
