Opinion Mitch McConnell: Neither party can count on the Supreme Court to be its ally
Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, is minority leader of the U.S. Senate.
Every June, the Supreme Court releases its most controversial opinions, and without fail, politicians complain about how those decisions came down. After cases such as King v. Burwell in 2015, which upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, it was conservatives who voiced disappointment. More recently, liberals have taken up the cry.
Unfortunately, Democrats have moved from complaining about the Supreme Court’s reasoning to questioning its independence. The Senate Democratic leader has threatened justices by name that they would “pay the price” for not ruling the way he wanted and has taken to deriding the entire institution as a “MAGA Supreme Court.” Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are trying to tell a coequal branch of government how to manage its internal operations, ostensibly to clean up its “ethics.”
