Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he believes Democrats have a"fundamental misunderstanding" of the Supreme Court in the wake of several rulings that have prompted calls from the left for an examination of the high court's ethics.
"These escalating attacks from the left betray a fundamental misunderstanding of the court’s structure and purpose. It is an ideologically unpredictable body that takes cases as they come and produces diverse outcomes. Recent rulings put that reality in stark relief," McConnell wrote. "Some court-watchers are quick to speculate about whether conservatives will break ranks and join the court’s three liberals in key decisions. But few bothered to ask whether one or more of the liberal justices would break ranks and conclude that racial discrimination in university admissions is unlawful — or if they would stand up to Biden’s student loan power grab," McConnell wrote.
"This is more than just the liberal peanut gallery rooting for its preferred outcomes — it reflects the reality, borne out by the decisions of the just-ended term, that the proper role of the court is ideologically unpredictable," the minority leader continued.
