McConnell Rages About SCOTUS Leak: Liberals Want To Rip The Blindfold Off Lady Justice And Elevate Mob Rule

Here’s a partial transcript of McConnell’s rant:

For years the radical left has attacked the institution of the Supreme Court. Last night it appears their campaign hit a new low. Historically the justices, clerks and staff have prized and protected the court’s confidentiality.

The justices must be able to discuss and deliberate in an environment of total trust and privacy. Americans cannot receive a fair trial if politicians, pundit, bullies and mobs get a say in court. Judicial independence is vital, but the far left has spent years shamelessly attacking it.

Somebody, likely somebody inside the court itself, leaked a confidential internal draft to the press Almost certainly in an effort to stir up an inappropriate pressure campaign to sway an outcome.

The radical left immediately rallied around the toxic stunt. The cheerleaders for partisan court-packing applauded what they suggested was the work of, quote, a brave clerk making a last-ditch hail Mary attempt to cause a political firestorm and cause the court to reconsider.

Liberals want to rip the blindfold off Lady Justice, they want to override impartiality with intimidation. They want to elevate mob rule over the rule of law.
