In addition to its never-ending obsession with all things Donald Trump, the histrionic left continues its meltdown about the conservative-majority Supreme Court. There’s no better option on the planet to observe related hyperbolic meltdowns than on the set of “The View.”
Such was the case on Wednesday when the non-Mensa-level ladies trotted out author John Grisham.
Nearly two years after a far-left extremist attempted to assassinate conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Grisham fantasized about writing a follow-up to “The Pelican Brief” – which saw two SCOTUS justices assassinated – in which more justices would be killed. Fun stuff, right?
This clapping-monkeys exchange was truly hilarious:
JOHN GRISHAM: I wrote a great book called The Pelican Brief.
SARA HAINES: Yes!
SUNNY HOSTIN: You sure did!
[Applause]
BEHAR: Yep.
GRISHAM: In which two Supreme Court justices were assassinated.
BEHAR: I know.
HOSTIN: Yes.
GRISHAM: And I thought about doing it again!
BEHAR: No. No. No. No.
[Crosstalk as they try to explain what he meant.]
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Writing part two! He’s talking about writing part two!
GRISHAM: It’s all fiction.
HOSTIN: It’s all fiction!
GRISHAM: It’s all fiction.
GOLDBERG: It’s all fiction!
GRISHAM: Don’t get upset.
BEHAR: It’s just fiction. It’s made up stories.
GRISHAM: The court has never looked this bad–
BEHAR: No.
The most ridiculous back-and-forth I’ve seen on the idiotic show in a while.
Infinitely ignorant blowhard co-host Joy Behar transparently set the table for Grisham:
You’re art imitating life, really, I think is what you’re doing. But life right now in a courtroom is getting a little scary. I mean, let’s take the Supreme Court right now. A lot of people have issues with them. There are some scandals plaguing the Supreme Court. Do you have any thoughts on that and maybe write a book or make a movie out of that?
Like Grisham was going to respond with, “No, not really, Joy.” Please.
That singular spew from Behar generated the exchange in the quote block above the video. Could it have been clearer? The ladies didn’t want their equally ignorant audience to think Grisham was literally calling for the assassination of (conservative) Supreme Court justices, so they rushed to defend him.
Grisham continued, with the ladies flying wingman all the way through.
Some of the rulings, the ethical challenges, the – It went downhill in 2000 when five Republicans on the court chose to elect a president. [A long-debunked conspiracy theory] That was the most political – Bush v. Gore and that’s when it all started really going downhill. [Behar agreed]
The 5-4 decision and the court – it gets worse every term. [Hostin said “Wow.”] So, I have no solution because you can’t get rid of them. The solution is [to] make them all retire at the age of 75. Every federal judge should have to retire at the age of 75.
Behar, of course, agreed.
How about term limits like everybody else? The president gets term limits. Why do they have these lifetime jobs?
Have you ever seen a liberal call for term limits on Supreme Court justices when the court has a liberal majority? Me, neither. The hypocrisy knows no bounds.
