Yet again, the Supreme Court is on the frontlines of an already raging political war. With only weeks remaining before the election in November, the Democrats are pivoting to focus solely on Trump and his Republican Senate’s constitutional ability to nominate and confirm a Supreme Court Justice to succeed the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Trump’s rightful determination to follow Article 2 Section 2 of the United States Constitution is being disingenuously presented as proof of his corrupt desire to “steal another” Supreme Court seat, a charge leveled by the Left to justify the emergency use of “every tool at their disposal.”

In addition, the undeniable political importance of the Judicial Branch is being used by the Democrats to further prop up their cynical belief that the American political system must reject the legislative nuisance that is the Electoral College and embrace mob rule, all under the banner of “democracy.” The argument is that, because Trump didn’t win the popular vote, any and all of his constitutionally valid abilities and actions are therefore democratically invalid.
