.ZeeshanAleem: Why are Republicans so worried about norms all of a sudden? Norms didn't matter when they blocked President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland.

The reason that the idea of a sacred Supreme Court matters so much to the GOP is because it is central to its theory of change: Republicans desperately rely on institutions that operate outside of or counter to the principle of majority rule.

The GOP has survived multiple recent presidential contests thanks to the fact that the Electoral College system isn’t based on the popular vote — and George W. Bush’s victory in 2000 was ensured by a politically sympathetic Supreme Court. Republicans also rely heavily on a legislative body that structurally overrepresents the rural and conservative part of the population — the Senate — to act as a bulwark against Democratic legislation.

“In some respects, the conservative movement’s obsession with the courts is a testament to its weakness,” Levitz argued at the time. “There is no popular majority for banning abortion, scaling back the welfare state, or eroding basic labor and consumer protections in the United States — and, judging by the millennial and Zoomer generations’ political views, there never will be.

ZeeshanAleem The egregious thing is not the pretense or affectation, but the shameless arrogance these Republicans exhibit after they sink to new depths of hypocrisy. This 🥶won’t change until there are consequences. We either vote ourselves out of this mess or watch our democracy evaporate.

ZeeshanAleem George and Laura Bush were in Buffalo NY attacked in 2001, One of their Navy Admirals was attacked earlier in 1997.

ZeeshanAleem I am sorry the Supreme Court was tarnished when three justices appointed by Trump lied to the Senate Confirmation Committee to get on the Supreme Court. McConnell held open one seat for almost a year to let the people decide and then seated someone right at election time.

ZeeshanAleem Say that again for the ones acting religious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ZeeshanAleem I’m beginning to think they blocked Garland’s nomination to SCOTUS because somehow they knew he’d be much more useful sitting on his hands at the DoJ. 😕

ZeeshanAleem

ZeeshanAleem SenTedCruz are you, MSNBC & Zee serious? Can you even imagine Garland on the Court? Look at him today, he does nothing but obstruct justice You talk of ‘Norms’ could one of them be Norm from the show ‘Cheers’?

ZeeshanAleem I don’t understand why his state want recall him or get rid of him remember he got caught at the airport while hundreds of people were fighting against a cold winter no electricity ⚡️ his forces has been fighting against help not working across with democratic congress sad

ZeeshanAleem Nothing normal about bounties for women exercising their constitutional rights.

ZeeshanAleem Do they believe in fate?

ZeeshanAleem F MSDNC!

ZeeshanAleem Not giving garland a hearing was stupid. Publishing the addresses of the justices is criminally irresponsible, especially in today’s political climate.

ZeeshanAleem Still think it was Barret or Kavanaugh. They're only there to sabotage scotus and there is no way you can convince me otherwise.

ZeeshanAleem Democrats seek to fill the party of democracy with Black Mexican Muslim Christian and not so much White Anglo-Saxon or the other not counted as real American's. When our Government bans free speech calling it hate speech we become Russia China. Can we rent Democracy ?.

ZeeshanAleem As if they didn’t spend the last six years tarnishing the courts imagine and killing their legitimacy. Who would of thought filling it with hacks wouldn’t work out for the image.

ZeeshanAleem The false worried brows over the destruction of norms...rich

ZeeshanAleem Aaaawwww !!! Diddums ! Poor snowys. Lol !

ZeeshanAleem Because of ABNORMALS like you Teddy Cruz🤔

ZeeshanAleem 2000 mules, 2000 mules, 2000 mules. 2000 mules. 2000 mules, 2000 mules…

ZeeshanAleem It's so like a bully . They want to be able to dish out crap but when someone stands up to them they want to holler about how unfairly their being treated. We must show we aren't gonna take their mess anymore. We, the majority of the people, must.

ZeeshanAleem The media is bought and paid for by the wef. time to localize our media and support and share the truth.

ZeeshanAleem The face of GOP SenTedCruz deniability is “Ole Lyin Ted”? Well… another way of saying this is the elephant is taking out their own trash.

ZeeshanAleem The ability to procreate and decide to raise a family is not a privilege, it's an inherent right. Government does not have any legal standing to interfere with this process.

ZeeshanAleem This guy looks like the devil.

ZeeshanAleem I dedicate this song to the Democratic Party.

ZeeshanAleem What the hell does Garland have to do with a 'leaker' at the Supreme Court? You're nuts!

ZeeshanAleem Now that we see who Merrick Garland really is it has become obvious why they blocked him.

ZeeshanAleem Sunday Fiction from

ZeeshanAleem Because the gop is in it for the power alone. The don't give a crap about the people they are supposed to represent. They just care about those lining their pockets. GOPHypocrisy GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCorruptionOverCiuntry

ZeeshanAleem Cruz go back to Cancún!

ZeeshanAleem Your WRONG, this is NOT a GOP thing. REAL DEMOCRATS have a problem with PROGRESSIVES making this move. DNC CNN FoxNews

ZeeshanAleem Republicans are Rats 🐀

ZeeshanAleem When all the deaths that surely will occur with SCOTUS decision, who will the GOP blame? The TheDemocrats will too share the blame for doing nothing but fundraising out of fear mongering.

ZeeshanAleem No freaking out just going to kick that a&& in the midterm 😂😂

ZeeshanAleem مصممين جداً يريدون استعبادنا مرة أخرى لايريدون ان يتركوننا وشأننا ابدا

ZeeshanAleem لايتوقفون عن مضايقتنا وازعاجنا والضغط علينا

ZeeshanAleem Pretty sure Merrick Garland was a threat to the 2nd Amendment. In 2007, he struck down what would’ve lifted some of the extensive restrictions on hand guns in DC. Politicians can have all the armed security they want w/ autos, but the average citizen there cannot own a hand gun.

ZeeshanAleem POTUS Republicans should be worried about the women and girls joining Democrat and President Joe46 Biden's fight to save women's rights after Donald45 Trump's SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe, President Biden is the only one who can save women's rights now

ZeeshanAleem Fear of a 2nd Trump term drove 81+ million Democrat voters to the polls in ‘20. The draft SCOTUS ruling is scarier. And scarier still is the 30% support for criminalising abortion. That’s the magic number that won Bush Jr his presidency. Just ask Rove. “Be afraid. Very afraid.”

ZeeshanAleem Why is Inflation so bad in America but not in China? America’s Greedy Capitalists! Inflation is the Symptom Capitalism is the Disease Socialism is the Cure!

ZeeshanAleem Hypocrites!

ZeeshanAleem Not freaking out actually laughing our asses off! Red wave coming!

ZeeshanAleem Garland, as AG, is PROVING why being blocked from SCOTUS was such a fantastic idea!! msdnc just LIES

ZeeshanAleem Happy Mother’s Day to all the guys who vote Democrat!!

ZeeshanAleem

ZeeshanAleem

ZeeshanAleem

ZeeshanAleem They are worried about norms for the same, 200% consistent reason as ever: In far-right mentality; norms, just as laws, rules and traditions, exist solely to protect and serve them while chaining, harming and restricting everybody else. Any reduction in disparity is unacceptable.

ZeeshanAleem GINNY THOMAS COUP PLOTTING CLOWN QUAZY

ZeeshanAleem They're hypocrites. Why analyze it?

ZeeshanAleem You talking about the same garland Democrats have been complaining about since he became AG?

ZeeshanAleem Do dems like norms?

ZeeshanAleem

Davidlaz ZeeshanAleem MSNBC didn’t care either.

ssguffey ZeeshanAleem Kind of ironic that the GOP is freaking out. Apparently the deliberations of the Supreme Court are entitled to privacy. Women not so much.

ZeeshanAleem Because 'new' republicanism is actually unchanged from what it ever was - like in kindergarten when the tantrum kiddies only play when the game is what they want, played the way they want, and the biggest kiddie is the scariest!

ZeeshanAleem I think they better get used to it Dems too They created this chaos By failing the people Welcome to your own nitemare

ZeeshanAleem Old White men… let’s start there 😑
